my Singapore tour gig pics

[Aussie Mark]

Guys, I'm just checking in briefly at an internet cafe half way through our 6 gig tour of Singapore.  I'll touch base properly when I'm back next week, but in the meantime here's a link to our Facebook photo album documenting the gigs ....

Wow, last night was very cool.  The gig went enormously well, and then some of the staff from the venue's office took us clubbing.  At 3am, by request we ended up on stage at the Pump Room, a dance/techno club, playing 2 songs using the house band's gear.  First time I've played a 5 string live, and the second time in 20 years I've played roundwounds LOL  Seeing Keef next to me playing a pointy orange Ibanez was quite bizarre.

I'm currently editing 5 hours of video taken from different angles during the week, and hope to get some up on YouTube later this week

Looks like a good time! I'm guessing much of the crowds are tourists?

Did you write a "no brown M&M's" rider...?

Not in Singapore.  It's not really a backpacker mecca, because of the high hotel and drink costs.

That crowd are pretty much all expats and locals.  25% of Singapore's population are foreign workers.  Most of the people in that pub are US and Brit oil and gas execs and bankers, plus local yuppies.  But they know how to party.

Our drinks rider was 4 x 20 Imperial ounce pints each per gig (ie. $280 per night)  Kilkenny is brown enough for me.

Kilkenny is brown enough for me.

It's that name...

I just finished editing a few hours of video from my Flip Mino HD camera.  I taped it to the wall in a different part of the room each night and recorded one set.  Here's some warts and all footage ....

Mark, you have all of Bill's wild stage gyrations down pat, but do you practice his smile too?
