ArPee

what work?..

been running away from all forms of work

work's really bad for health

money's really not an issue

60,000 people have died

that's an issue

hope we're going back to making noise soon..

The members of ArPee have been busy working. This may seem demoralising, but in actual fact we are building up team rapport among the band and earning money!

How will this benefit YOU, the listener?

Our earnings will go under careful expenditure; investment in jamming and recording sessions and the like. This means songs with better sound quality JUST FOR YOU.

More reasons to come in the next entry! Meanwhile, please remember that we love each and every one of you. We'd love to update the blog as often as we could but work and school has been taking a toll on all of us.

We've got 2 new songs in construction and they're going to blow you away even more, though. Can't wait to see you guys at Thumper Bar!

Ahh, finally a band blog update from anyone but Ari and I. Yes, Ais you have good taste in music. I wouldn't mind doing a cover of Intramural. It'd be as tough as hell though. And Chelsea Logue's so pretty!!!! If I ever meet her I'll go lesbian and date her HAHAHAHAA.

The bassist is a nut. Six strings man; if I ever meet him I'll go back to being a girl and date him HEEHEEHEEEE. And steal his bass and be a normal person again.

We're a cool band. WE ARE STILL THE COOLEST BAND!! HYUK HYUK.

[SMP] Turn Back

Hello there! This is Johnny Jon Jon here! Updating yet again for my absent band members who are very much busy with their school stuff! Anyways, i was surfing the net and....wow!! Somebody actually reads this blog! Now that's a confirmation! Hahaz! Thanks! *ahem* let me quote what she quoted what i quoted during the AFUA show.

saw hj's friend claryce..hohoho. and a hot babe that looks like noelle.

anw the band performing was damn funny and funky I LIKE IT. this red johnny jon jon guitarist keep getting so high by himself and lets name some quotes from him,

johnny jon jon: "hey i have a relation with taufik batisah. i have NO relation with him"
johnny jon jon: "when i say BLOW, i want you all to say JOB"

and he said some brainteaser too but no one got it and no one answered him so he brushed past it and went on to introduce his band.

and they play good rocking music -thumbs up!-

and this girl member in the band was i think pointing to me on stage and asking whether i was what weikang?!?! gave me a big shock.. and after their performance, the red guitarist came up to us and asked if we enjoyed it and yah nice guy.

anyway the band's call ARPEE. can go take a look at their blog --> http://arpee.blogspot.com



Cool right? Wah!! Piang eh!! There were people out there who appreciated my humour!! Hahaz! And to think i nearly swore myself to silence on stage!!

Oh yeap, here's my recap of the AFUA show! It wasn't the tightest of sets but i sure did had alot of fun! Especially whipping the crowd into a frenzy with the word game! They were like asking for blowjobs!! Ok..not specifically... But...great! the crowd was really enthusiastic! I hope we get such a response from the next gig at the Thumper Bar!

Anyways, for all of you who actually read this blog, i have written a couple of new songs that the band will work on and will probably perform at least 1 for our next show. The latest that i wrote takes a dark and gothic approach. As compared to the three happy go lucky tuned songs that i wrote. So that's it from me i suppose. That means the band will be working on five new tunes! There's Different Worlds, Turn Back, Earthgrazer, Somewhere Beyond and Angel's Eulogy.

Angel's Eulogy is really a song about a kid who's giving up on life. I've decided to take a break from my usual writing style and strike out on a path less travelled by myself. It's really fun i must say. But depressing!

The rest of them are just typical me songs. I realised that everyone likes a part of my songs but not every single one of em? i safely conclude that maybe someday when i'm that damn good, i'm gonna release an album of my own. Johnny's greatest hits! 1 song with everybody's favourite verse or chorus crammed into it. Oh well..

Ok so there u have it people, a band update! Anyways, i'm collecting emails to add into our mailing list, if you're interested, just mail me at stuck_forever@yourass.com . I will add you to our ever growing mailing list! Last i counted, we had 200 over people on the list! So..join the ArPee band wagon and get those pee vats filled!

I leave you guys with a sample of Turn Back.

Turn back the time
Back to those days
When i enthralled your mind

We could watch the stars
Rise against and
Change the milky ways

Hey pals. Was back quite a while ago, sorry I haven't been updating.

All the hype about our first gig has probably died down, so we're going to revive your spirits with yet another gig! We're hoping it won't rain, cause we are so going to rock your asses till the seats will burn and you'll have no choice but to stand up and dance on the stage with us. You all know you're most welcome to do so.

So bring your packets of bee hoon and cans of beer to the Youth Park! We still have yet to find out who we'll be performing with; we'll update you asap yeap!

SO HERE GOES! THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Event: ORCHARD JAM!
Venue: Youth Park
Date: December 11, Saturday
Time: 4pm

Our song lineup is not confirmed yet. Nevertheless, I reiterate that it is going to be a kickass show so it doesn't really matter NOW DOES IT!!

Many many thanks to AFUA (Arts For Us All), who have put in tons and tons of effort to make this event possible. It's people like Maxine, Jinwei, Ruimin and the rest of the crew who realise the importance of music in Singapore; and who seriously bother to take action. Our hearts go out to you guys. Thank you. :)

Love,
ArPee.
