I am in awe and super inspired. I was privileged enough to be invited to Monofone's private 'gig' last night, together with Hui, Rachel and Yan Ping. Haha! The four of us felt extremely exclusive, like a bunch of tai tais.

Anyway, Monofone is VERY GOOD and VERY TALENTED! They play excellent Muse covers... Ohh my goodness! I thought I was at the actual concert, just that the voice was different. And we were not drowning and asphixiated. Also, there was no fear and panic in the air.

They also played four of their originals. And those were good too! I have to say, I'm not really into local music because those that I've heard so far, are not impressive. But Monofone... My goodness! Their songs have depth and the melody is beautiful. 3 out of 4 songs are darker and more depressing. Only the last one was happier and more up beat. Let's see... They started with the more instrumental version of Sylvia, then came Out For Last, then Embrace End and lastly, Vanity Bits (if I'm not wrong). Sylvia, Out For Last and Vanity Bits can be found on their myspace site: (here) Unfortunately, my favourite of the lot, Embrace End, is not. Love that song... It's so... depressing... But good nonetheless. You should really go check them out!

They happen to be a very nice of people as well, very very nice! It was great fun to hang out with them. They left me speechless and extremely inspired to pick up guitar, seriously. I feel so honoured to know them and be in their presence (haha!). I really hope they go far! Baybeats '07 everyone! They got into Baybeats! *confetti for Monofone*
