3rd Oct – 8th Oct

Well – we have some talented musicians from our neighbours: Srey Channthy and Julien Poulson aka the Monkey & the Mermaid, vocals and guitar for THE CAMBODIAN SPACE PROJECT are stopping in Singapore for one night only. They will be playing an acoustic set from The Cambodian Space Project ALBUM at BluJaz Space – from 8pm onwards. What some people say about them:
“They are a great band who write hook heavy songs and play the holy heck out of them on stage.” – TIME OUT LONDON

“A rousing, quirky reminder of the pre-Khmer Rouge golden era of Cambodian pop.” – THE GUARDIAN

“Tracks like “Chnam Oun Dop Pram Mouy” are just begging to be used to soundtrack the next Tarantino movie” – UNCUT ***

And of course we have Omniform @ Cafe with their awesome originally scored music. With Greg Lyons leading, the Monday night will hold no blues. 9pm onwards

George comes back on with MATRIX JAM on WEDNESDAY - head up to Lounge if you wanna be part of a host of talents with a jazz jam. 8:30pm onwards.

2009

Good food and music continues to 2009 with Monster Trio still taking helm tonight on Friday @ Cafe from 9:30pm onwards. With Greg out of town, Fandi comes in with beautiful vocals.

Saturday night usually belongs to Aya Sekine but for one night only Wicked Aura and friends will take the stage. Regular Aya School “students” Budi and Aidan will be in attendance.
As it is the tradition at Blu Jaz this one’s all about taking the music into a percussive funk samba jam, so expect some serious musical exploration.

Peace and Love
