I have found my answer to good live music and a very unSingaporean ambience... This is one place so worth checking out. Wala Wala's on Friday nights is the place to go and enjoy some great rock pop and the band is so full of energy and pizzazz. The rapport between the members is superb. It's amazing how they maintain their passion and their chemistry despite playing almost every night at random places around Singapore. And they play the music I love, the music that gets down to your gut and sends electricity running your spine... Heck, the GooGoo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Red Hot Chilli Peppers... just can't get enough.
This is about the third time I've been to Wala's. The first time was over a year ago. Then, the crowd was much thinner and it had the makings of a cult band with its loyal following of friends and groupies. The whole place is very dark, and full of people singing to the familiar tunes. But it was sort of intimate still. I like the dark ambience of the bar. It somehow reminds me of the bars I visited in Australia. This time, the place is just swarming with people, neck to neck. I had to queue like mad outside Wala's. The last time I just did a walk in. I had many close brushes and intimate encounters(butt brushing was a frequent occurrence). And I met people I recognised. It's no cult band anymore. It's just about the most famous band in Singapore. That sux. The exclusivity is gone. The music is still amazing. I'm loving Jack(the lead singer) more and more... haha. His voice is so electric. He has the AC guy quality that never fails to draw me. And who doesn't love a guy who can serenade?? swoon......
Definitely going to check them out soon at Timbre and Balaclava...
