some updates on Uglymen and… ya, me…
Apr 18, 2005 News
Uglymen have came up with 2 new songs for the second album ( So paise to say this cause even first album also not out yet, kekeke…) Ah hemm, anyway, the 2 songs are “Headlines”, written by Suan and lyrics by my good friend and supporter cum proof-reader for Alsictry.com ~ Tan Seok Kheng; second song is “My Sky” which is about HIV- infected orphans.
Mean while, I have formed my temporary 3-month-band “Project X” with Chan Tap Fatt (Guitar) and Tan Jun Xian (Drums), and me playing bass. We basically jem commercial tracks like Jason Mraz, Bryan Adams and some punks like Greenday and Nirvana. We hope to perform at least once before July 2005 as Jun Xian will leave the band for studies then.
I tried on playing bass for the new band in order to get new inspirations and methods of writing a song, and that sure does work, writing a song using a bass guitar actually kicks start the song by structuring the chord progressions and walking bass line, rather than thinking of the main melody first. It is a good experience and I’ve come up with some ideas on new songs. Hope to share later.
