Recently, Brian was plurking about what we thought of local music. And the first thing that came to mind was ‘My one and only’ which was my ultimate favourite local song – I loved it for how romantic the song was.
Remixed by the beautiful Lum May Yee
I started typing out the lyrics and before I knew it, Brian invited me to attend the Rock the Sub at Timbre Substation to listen to Kevin Matthews, the original singer of the song.
And I was glad that I went!
Shiny (literally) happy people – The friendly Thomas, guitar player of the groovy people and me
Although the Timbre was dizzyingly full of people, I found myself enjoying the music tremendously, the band was really tight and sounded really good!
Here is a quick video overview of the event :

Sidenote : Saw a very beautiful sunset over the Clark Quay river yesterday.
Oh man. I missed out that event.
I put it in my calendar but forgot about it until the day after.
I’ve been following Lunarin ever since before their first album and I really like them.
Hope there will be more local rock events soon and hope to see you there.
Thanks, Marina, for the videos and kind words.
Hope you don’t mind but I’ve linked this page to the Groovy People Facebook group.
Thanks again
KEVIN

Ah, a pity that I didnt see you there. I think that you would have enjoyed it. Lunarin was performing right after Kevin Mathews and the groovy people and I am rather amazed by the guitarist.
He’s really into it! :)
There should be another one going on in August. So I hope to see you then :-)
Kevin
No worries! :-)
And no, I dont mind at all! Thank you for performing last saturday, I really did enjoy myself tremendously :)
Glad you enjoyed yourself Marina! And thanks for the ride on you awesome Vespa! -)))
Oh man! I missed out on this!
Hmm local music, I like Lunarin, and B-Quartet, and The Unexpected!
Brian
No problem … maybe next time, we’d go even faster than 40km/hr :D

Coincidentally, Lunarin was playing right after Kevin Mathew’s … the guitarist is impressive!
