  • Ep129: BigO 4-0 (a review)
    2025/04/24

    As crowds throng the spaces to listen to political candidates wax lyrical about how they plan to improve Singapore, the LCR team look back on two days in April when crowds thronged The Blackbird Singapore to listen to veteran indie rockers who came together to wax lyrical about the 40th anniversary of BigO magazine, the pre-eminent champion of local indie music back in the late '80s and throughout the 1990s.

    What made the grade? What were the big surprises? And who were the candidates - er, sorry, Lion City Rockers - who rocked our boat? There's no commentary about GST, but plenty of talk about GSE!

  • Ep128: Surath and Joanna (The Blackbird, Reverie)
    2025/04/11

    Where can you go to hear a live band play Steely Dan's "Reelin' In The Years" or the 11-minute opus that is the live version of "Sultans Of Swing", complete with sax solo? Well, The Blackbird at Gillman Barracks, that's where.

    The Blackbird's resident band, Reverie, plays songs that aren't always on your Spotify Top 10; instead, revelling in dishing out rarer tracks that you don't always hear on Singapore's live music circuit.

    But Reverie has a bigger stake in The Blackbird than you think: Singer & guitarist Surath helms the venue, while multi-instrumentalist Joanna helps coordinate events held there, including the recent She Shines music event, and BigO's 40th anniversary show.

    With Blackbird's 2nd birthday coming up, the two of them share the highs and lows of being in a cover band and running a live music venue.
