23rd Feb – 28th Feb

It’s the end of the month and I’m looking forward to good things coming – including my monthly influx to my wallet and we’re definitely pleased to end off Feb with a party – compliments of Pushin’ On

Come Friday, we see Greg and his Monster Trio more than hold fort @ Cafe from 9:30pm onwards – in fact, they’ll woo and astound your aural sensibilites with great sounds.

Pushin’On – Bigger, Fresher, Funkier
Singapore’s only regular funk night is heating up with an act that last appeared in Nov’ 08. This month, the Pushin’On crew proudly presents the return of the Lion City Orchestra with a new and bigger line-up. The LCO will play 90 minutes of furious funk and gritty soul, never before heard “live” in Singapore.  And that’s just for starters.
Then you take over the floor with music from DJ Shellsuit, DJ Chunk and special guest DJ Funk B**tard. They’ve found dancefloor heaters from year-end digging around the world, and want to play it to you first. Just show your love by dancing.

9pm till the recession’s gone

7th FEB

Ayaschool and her crrrraaazzzyyy friends return – YAY! Come on down for a night of good music, food and company. Cafe – 9:30pm onwards

To kick start festivities for the holidays, Greg and his crew will take over Cafe (1st Flr) as usual on Friday and a special guest all the way from Switzerland flies in to unleash her works – music producer/DJ – Harpy Listens. She spins @ Space (3rd Flr) from 9pm onwards. A no one but a someone. A Malaysian born who is based in Switzerland. She is a music junkie who lives a life in music transitions. Trained in classical music during childhood and did a major in Electronic Music during adulthood. Worked in the English Radio world and some side projects for Independent Online Radio. Currently working on a new Folktronica band project. A point where classical/rock exposure and the edgy electronic music exposure meet has resulted in my groove for Electronic Funk Fusion. Do not expect glamourous scratching on vinyls but a journey through her music collection to discover the evolution of Funk and Soul.

24th Nov – 29th Nov

A little bit of a sad news…. Omniform will now reduce their sets to once a month on Mondays due to unforeseen circumstances. It has been a great run and we would like to thank the musicians for making the effort to meet and the audience for their support.. They’re not gone.. just a temporary break and we’ll keep you up to date with the Monday they’ll be @ the Cafe.

So onwards ho, we have the usual suspect of Grooveworks on Wednesday 26th Nov @ Cafe, starts from 9pm, Greg’s Monster Trio on Friday 28th Nov @ Cafe – starts from 9pm and Ayaschool on Saturday 29th Nov @ Cafe starts from 9:30pm. It’s live. It’s good. What else can we say?

But for the first time ever, Pushin’ On will take over 2 floors and give you Dance Sucka!

This month, catch local poppers and breakers show their moves in the return of Dance Sucka – an annual event where funky dancers compete for cash prizes worth $200. Guest judges Felix (Radikal Forze) and Prince Jack will choose two winners (1 popper & 1 breaker) and also put on a special showcase.

DJs Shellsuit, Chunk, Ko-flow, Funk B’tard, Nazmatazz and Mister Magic will keep both floors bumping all night long.

So come prepared. Flat shoes and lots of groove.
