In Which Part Of The Nursery Rhyme Humpty Dumpty Does It Say That Humpty Dumpty Is An Egg?

ArPee is currently looking out for new audiences. So if you think you can be a willing and receptive ArPee audience, why don't you email us at arpeeband@gmail.com with the venue, time and the list of other great bands that you would like to be audience to. We're always so excited about meeting and pleasing new people! We promise to try our darnest not to be a disappointment!

Many more people die in the name of God than from any other affliction or illness. What the world needs now is love! Vote Eva Nongoria for President. BK Burgers are the best way to go vegetarian. An eye for an eye makes the world go blind. MCs should be given away free of charge.

Magic Wasn't So Bad Until He Made Himself Disappear

It was jamming at its most tantric! With Louis on drums, Evelyn and Ihsan on guitars and Ari on the stool, it was indeed jamming at its most tantric. We're lock, stock and ready to go. Booyah!

Scotty Doesn't Know

Hey you guys! Yes, that includes you. Oh, I know you got here by accident when you pressed on the button that allows you to blog surf or like after you clicked on the hyperlink thinking that this is where 'the man with the hang that bangs' Emmanuel will take on 'the exotic oriental beauty with the name that seems to invite you into her booty' Chipapi when you googled for Ass-ian InvAsian 12, but well, yeah, the hey you part, does include you too.

So anyways, there has been a mishap within the band (someone broke a boner), but that does not mean we're gonna slow down! We're all pumped up and just raring to go to introduce to you guys our latest, unreleased, unrehearsed and untitled new songs. It's gonna be wild. It's gonna be hardcore. It's gonna be softcore. It's gonna be post-post-pre-post modern. It's gonna be ArPee like you've never heard them before these past few months back! So watch out!

And remember, if you've been panging to like watch ArPee live and watch Ihsan like go crazy on the guitars and kazoos or like listen to Louis' new high-hat solo or like say job right after Mistral says blow or like watch Evelyn strike a pose and belt out some new songs and like try to keep her composure while Ari tries to grab the microphone and say random stuff which nobody really ever finds interesting and like ends up being the butt of his own jokes which is really ok cause he really does look like his own butt which is really ok cause you haven't really seen his butt unless you've watched the movie that had an old man like puke all over himself and call it the Fourth of July fireworks display and have his pet turtle bathe in it, don't be shy about asking your favourite local gig organizers to book us. Well, ok. Be shy about it. But buy them a drink first. It might soften them up a little bit.

Oh yeah, we had to like kick Jon outta the band cause of like musical differences. I mean the fact that he only wanted to play the E's and A's on the G-string for every song, really said something about a guy who got the job in the first place based on the distinction he got for music in his Sec 2 education in Jalan Ramai-Ramai Secondary School. It was truly unfortunate that our trust and belief in his talents were misplaced.We are now placing our hopes on Ari who has thus far impressed us with his uncanny ability to play 'Do-Re-Mi" without breaking into a song and dance on his Samsung mobile phone.

Homies! Here's a long-awaited update on our small chee cheong fun business venture! So far we've written 3 new songs, and if all goes well we'll...

ah fuck it

WE AIN'T DEAD YET!

WHADDUP PALS! Just so you know, we miss all of you and we miss this. The band hasn't seen much activity because we've all been busy, but we know that's not a good excuse to neglect the band. We're going to pull up our socks this time and start meeting up for practices. Hopefully if things work out, we'll be writing new songs and reviving the old ones. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

For those who have stuck by the band through thick and thin, this will probably be the biggest and most important Thank You we will ever make. Thank you for your faith in us. We won't let you down this time. Just keep watching this space and our purevolume site okay? See you soon soon soon!

Someone change the spelling for my name please

Your kids are better off...

Ok people, if you have been checking out our purevolume site religiously for the past week, you'd have noticed that we have a show slated this coming 18th August. So.... come catch us at the Prince of Wales pub on the 18th August @ 9.30 PM (Singapore Local Time). If you do not know where the Prince of Wales, then to be honest, it's really hard to describe it to you and where have you been exactly the last time round ArPee performed there eh? Feeling guilty now here are we? Ok, i give. I give. You take any bus that goes to Little India. Any bus service that actually plies the little india route with the least amount of decency ought to stop in front of Tekka Mall. Ok so now you stop right in front of Tekka Mall right.. you go into the Foodmore Foodcourt. DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY THE FOOD. Getting to ArPee's show is the priority here remember? So, ok once you've infiltrated the place, head for the exit door behind. It's a glass door. You would not miss it. Cause if you do, you'd know it cause you'd feel a sharp pain either in the nose, forehead, chest or crotch. Depending on your sex, physical properties and walking posture. You might hit your knee first too. Ok, so once you get out of that door, you'd strafe right abit. And you'd then notice the Prince of Wales banner right in front of you. Then, you know you are nearing the Rendezvous Point already. So knowing full well of where the pub is, you ought to make a mad dash for the nearest money changer, change all of your money to five dollar notes and then rush to the pub and catch ArPee live. Yeap! Hope that was helpful!

And...here's the new wallpaper!

[SMP] Your Momma is so fat, she was on page 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 of Playboy.

Alright. Yesterday's show was great! Absolutely great! The crowd was absolutely great! There was this feeling that the band and the crowd were really connected cause everytime i said 'Blow' they sort of finished the sentence for me by saying 'Job'. Now if that's not connection then i don't know what is.

Following that, there are a few people that the band would like to give a shout out to... Not in order of merit, we would like to thank Colin (Thanks for the sound!), Terence (Thanks for the chance!), Dorothy (Thanks for encouragement and being on standby to stand in for me!), Rico and Jeremy (Thanks for being our cameramen and supporting us!) Khien (Thanks for coming to our show! This is like the 6th ArPee show you've been to right?), Hans (Thanks for coming down to support us yet again!), Eric (Ok, i'm not really sure whether you were there or not cause i wasn't able to see you.. BUT, you deserve a thank you mention nonetheless for supporting us! So..Thank you!), Isaac and Jay (Thanks for like coming to our show yet again and supporting us even though you guys had to pay for it and all.), Carmen (Thanks for coming down to support us and then calling me an AhPek and then refusing to let me see the video of the band cause most of the times i'm not even in it! It was graet fun!), Juan (Thanks for coming down to support us! ), the guys from Samanta (Thanks for like supporting us!), the guys from Sons of Liberty (Russell, Egan, Melvin and Shane, it was nice hanging out with you guys after the show!), not forgetting all the bands that we shared the stage with (KDJ, ShoeSizeNine, 3dash1, Dr M's Contradiction, etc...) and of course, all of you guys who like saw us and liked what you saw and heard and tagged on our board and played some tracks off our PureVolume site and mailed us pictures of camel toes, you know who you are! So there you have it! Our thank you mention list. Exhaustive, but still not that much eh?

So if you think that you should have been mentioned in anyway, then please do, come to our next show, say hi after our show and we will try our best to mention you in our next thank you mention list! And of course our next show is on the 18th August 2005, 9.30pm at the Prince of Wales Backpacker Hostel. So, hope to see you there!

With Love,
ArPee.

Your Momma is so fat, when she stepped on the weighing machine, it said 'To Be Continued'.

Don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.

Pretty Gay Wallpaper! (:

[SMP] Keeping Them Confused

For those of you who caught us yesterday and have watched us before previously, well, it was probably not the best of our shows. The technical mishaps as Khien has put it was as frustrating to us as it must have been for a car full of queers getting pulled over for doing a 69 on a 55. However, the band did have as much fun as possible. We'd like to thank all of you for your continual support. I'm not good with names so i'm going to try to name all those that i can remember who came and saw us. Ok here it goes, thanks to Dorothy, Mint, Jem, Kelvin, Sameer of Set for Glory, Nic of Second Storey, Rico, Joyce, Khien and Eric of Heroic No Avail, Sameer's friend whom i didn't manage to get the name, Nic's friend whom i didn't manage to get the name, Ah Pek and Shaggy and their friends whom i didn't manage to get the names, Rizal and Sandra for well wishes on our blog and to those surfer dudes who wanted us to play a few more songs but we were totally zoned out and couldn't hear them that well.

Of course not to forget the organisers, AFUA. Their efforts to actually create platforms for local acts to perform on should be lauded as those of event organisers such as platformthelabel and also DoubleYellowLine. Ok i hope i did not forget anybody. And i know some of you requested that the lyrics to our songs be displayed on our blog. Well, we're really considering that and we appreciate such suggestions.

With Much Love,
ArPee
Our Dragons, Your Temple.

[SMP] Like An Angel

Alright guys! The dust has barely settled, muscles still aching and blood blisters popped and unpopped but ArPee is going to be at it again! This time, it's going to be Marine Cove Amphitheatre from 8-9PM on the 26th June 2005. So come on down for a wholesome good time as before us, there's a whole list of other great bands such as Burnout, Rare Copper Coin, Grey Matter and Sons of Liberty. So do come and have an ArPee time. Remember to bring along those five dollar notes to throw at us!

One helpful thing in turn could be, can someone please recommend me places where i can send my bass guitar for a quick repair at a reasonable price? Thanks.

We're In Talks People!!

The band is currently in talks with a few people. namely their family and friends. We're still alive. And we're excitingly waiting for Ihsan's return from the States so that we can work on whatever we've already worked on. So hope to see you guys at our next show.

Meanwhile, 3 months ago, we set up a purevolume site to load up songs for our own referencing. And 3 months on, we've already had more than 800 views and more than 400 play clicks. This is very encouraging indeed and we hope to add more stuff that you guys can listen to. So keep on clicking even if its for no good reason and if you have alot of time to burn. And remember to throw at us five dollar notes if u see us play next time round.

With Love and without wax,
Arpee-The Band.

My flowering laptop broke down but it's finally fixed, so I figure I'll do a post before it cranks up again.

A band update: Ihsan has flown to Atlanta for a month, so there'll be no gigging until June. The rest of the Pointes miss him dearly, but it's a good chance for the band to work on new material and we promise you all that we'll keep going on. This can only get better! :)

Love,
ArPee
