St. Jerome's Laneway Festival 2013 (Singapore)

Laneway Festival 2013, which originated in Australia (I got no idea why Singapore's included) was indeed amazing. Well except the god damned heat from the scorching sun. Luckily I came prepared with Sun Block and all.

Band Lineup
Kings of Convenience
Polica
Cloud Nothings
Divine Fits
Of Monsters and Men
Japandroids
Nicolas Jaar
Kimbra
Real Estate
ALT-J
Yeasayer
Bat For Lashes
Tame Impala
Gotye


People hiding away from the scorching sun!

First act: Kings of Convenience




Favourite Band: Of Monsters and Men!





Alt J


Bat for Lashes

Tame Impala (here's the time when people got crazy)

with Erlend Øye

One of my best-est friend was working at the Gardens By The Bay and she got me a free visitor pass (label 001 haha!) so I kinda left laneway for awhile and missed acts by Japandroids, Nicholas Jaar and Kimbra. My friends and I left before Gotye (last act) too so I'm not really sure if the S$126 tix was that worth it. They should have let Of Monsters and Men play their whole album! then I'll feel its worth!

  1. that's Kings of Convenience!!!!!
    I ADORE them, oh you are so lucky to see them preform live!
    I am envious of you. I think they rarely tour in the U.S., and if they do, they only go to cities far from mine. ),:
    That's good you got to see Of Monster's of Men!
    Watching your favorite bands perform live is truly exciting.
    ah, I still cannot believe you stood so close to Erlend.
    i might have gone mad from excitement...

    1. Yes KOC!! yet another favourite band!
      Hmm if I'm not wrong, KOC often performs here in Singapore, but it's my first time seeing them though.
      Oh man, that's quite unfortunate to hear:( Maybe one day, one day they'll visit your city? or perhaps sooner or later, you can come and see them yourself! you'll never know:)
      Yea! But the amount of time they've spent on stage felt soooooooo lil! I want more of them! haha
      Haha I was actually kinda beside him throughout Tame Impala, Tall guy with funny dance moves! haha
      I was quite surprised no one noticed him at first and I was like dude! that's Erlend Øye of KOC!
