There\u2019s almost no need to travel out to catch a gig<\/a> anymore, especially since it seems like everyone\u2019s swinging by Singapore<\/a> for a concert<\/a> these days! Just when you think you\u2019ve saved enough moolah<\/a> for that ticket to Damien Rice<\/a>, you now gotta smash the piggy bank for a chance to catch Copeland<\/a>. Well guess what? This #firstworldproblem isn\u2019t gonna get any better \u2013 a happy crisis, no less! We just caught wind of three whoppin\u2019 shows that\u2019ll kick up a storm in the live music landscape, and punters are already getting fidgety \u2013 as are we.<\/p>\n

Kult Kafe is really turning into the slickest party hangout in SG thanks to shows like this! Figure8 Agency and Revival Agency are bringing the French to town, with a double-bill gig that will leave you in dreamy awe. Anoraak<\/a> returns to Singapore with a synth-gushing soundtrack reminiscent of an \u201980s video game fantasy, as does Saycet<\/a> (now a solo act) with a misty, electronic showcase that\u2019s both entrancing and unsettling. No one does it as sophisticatedly as the French, oui<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Second on our list is a seedy warehouse gig brought to you by the fellas behind the Camp Symmetry festival. Moonbeats Asia, the sister promoter of Symmetry Entertainment, keeps the momentum going from their dubiously shady Club Berlin techno-teasing party, with another shindig in a clandestine industrial venue in Kallang. Intriguing venue aside, the line-up also boasts a mind-tripping ensemble of electronic shapeshifter Ryan Hemsworth<\/a>, and foxy masked dream-popper Slow Magic<\/a>. They\u2019ll be joined by the UK-based et aliae<\/a>, a lass who combines glitchy wonky-pop with smooth r&b textures and hints of classical, alongside local DJs DuriO<\/a> and team cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And as if all this hype wasn\u2019t flummoxing enough, we have yet another gig announcement that will have you yelling \u201csay it ain\u2019t so\u201d! You might know these seminal alt-rockers\u00a0for clowning around with The Muppets<\/a>, or dancing with \u2018The Fonz\u2019<\/a> on Happy Days<\/em>, or simply because of gen-defining anthems like \u201cHash Pipe\u201d, \u201cBuddy Holly\u201d and \u201cBeverly Hills\u201d. Yes folks, Weezer<\/a> is finally coming to our shores for the first time ever! Took \u2019em over 20 years to get here, but better late than never, yeah?<\/p>\n
