Last Saturday The Misfit Ramones were invited to perform on LiveoMusic.com's Made in Singapore program where the show invites local talent to perform on their set to be shown live on their website. It was the first time they are inviting bands instead of their usual repertoire of acoustic, solo or electronic acts so we are honored to be added into their first show with a full band setup.
It was also our first time to be performing on such a platform so we didn't know what to expect. We were really glad that the guys over at Liveo were playing good hosts by making us and the rest of the bands feel welcomed and at home as soon as we arrived. I am impressed at the setup of the studio, complete with cameras, screens, lightings and other gadgets I am not too familiar of. For a moment, it really felt like those AOL Sessions I am used to watching on Youtube! There's even a backstage area complete with sofa sets and coffee table for us to relax before we go in to the studio to play. A good place for us to sit together and chat with the other bands we just got to know on the day. Again, very impressed at the professional, yet 'homely' and intimate setup of the studio.
On to the performance, we were not really sure what to do or expect since we are used to our crowd singing, jumping around, even snatching our mics during our sets, but we just soldier on anyways. I really appreciate that the guys over at Liveo were encouraging before and after our set, which made me personally more relaxed as I was initially slightly intimidated at the whole concept of the performance. Looking back at the video of our performance, one major flaw is the inaudible guitar volume on our first song, 'Bird Shit'. Maybe it was due to the fact that we didn't manage to soundcheck before our actual performance due to a minor internal problem. But the guitar was more prominent on our second and third song 'CSI I Love You' and 'I Just Want A Seat' so that was a saving grace for us.
Overall I take this experience as a good platform to showcase our talent and an opportunity to network with the people in our local music industry. Liveo Music are brave enough to do something to promote our music scene so any bands with the opportunity to appear in this program should grab it with both hands. I hope that Liveo continue their good work and who knows, someday they're gonna be a fixture in our local music industry, attracting bigger names or even overseas bands to appear on their show instead of humble bands like us.
Lastly, more plus points to the Liveo team in how quickly they uploaded our photos and videos into their Facebook page and website. Within a few hours after our shows, they are all up for public viewing. Now that's what I call efficiency!
