为了推广本地独立音乐文化,叶敦鸿在音乐领域翻滚10年后,第一次为自己,为新加坡独立音乐人以及独立新秀,筹办的一场中型户外音乐会 - <<独立万岁!!!>>。

没有五光十色的舞台灯效, 没有百万乐队的伴奏;有的只是最具诚意的歌声和一颗颗充满热忱的心,站在舞台为您呈献充满生命力的创作和演唱。

独立派的精神是不屈不挠、亲力亲为、屏着各自对音乐的信念和理念,勇往直前开创一片能够让属于自己的音乐自由翱翔的天空。叶敦鸿希望能够从小做起,计划每一年都能够办<<独立万岁!!!>>这一项演出,把独立音乐人集合起来,推广新加坡中文独立音乐文化。

今年的音乐会将于MICA Building Atrium, 20/09/2009, 3pm – 5pm 呈献。音乐会上您将一次过目睹4位土生土长的新加坡独立歌手和乐团的现场实力演出。叶敦鸿除了演唱多首自己的作品,也会和其他演唱嘉宾合唱自己的创作。音乐会演唱嘉宾也将为大家带来更多精彩演出。他们包括了独立乐团讨闹派,独立新人梁丽怡Lizz和跨越中英两独立音乐界的独立美声男歌手Matthew Quek。

叶敦鸿为了这一次的演唱,更招兵买马凑了一组独立领域不容错过的鬼才乐团- Easy Band. Easy Band是叶敦鸿为乐团取的名称。乐团的特点是团员都是舞台经验丰富的自由或独立音乐人,当中都多才多艺,能屈能伸。他们这次应邀集合的主要目的就是要为独立音乐领域尽一份力。长远的来说,叶敦鸿希望独立领域有了Easy Band,独立歌手办起各式各样的演唱时,在得到这支鬼才乐团的鼎力相助下会更加Easy!!!

这更不是一场为了赚钱的商业音乐会。原本计划打造一场不收费的音乐会把新加坡独立音乐派推广给民众,但是,狂人叶敦鸿这次得理智地向现实低头。区区$12的票价为的只是帮忙支付部分经费。表演者都是以友情价,甚至不收费的情况下接下这个演出。叶敦鸿很感激独立朋友们各方面的鼎力支持。大家的共同目标是希望能够更广泛地让民众接触和认识到本土的独立音乐。同时,让独立音乐陪伴您度过20092009这个特别的日子。

别让好的音乐寂寞,别让好的音乐人被埋没。

独立有你,一切万岁!

特别表演嘉宾

1)独立乐团讨闹派RazzlePlay

Official Website: http://www.razzleplay.com/

"有理想的音乐将为你带来不一样的听觉感触。坚持创造属于自己的音效,为独立乐坛注入新"声"命。"



It all started with a common dream. But dream alone isn’t sufficient, it take a lot of effort and endurance to turn dreams into reality. With this, Razzle Play was formed.

Razzle Play means Noisy Fun! The name didn’t come easy. It took more than 2 months before this name became official! Why? We have simply too many ideas on what we should be named! We need something that really represent us and our ideas. Except the brothers, Vincent and Victor, the rest of Razzle Play came together all purely because of fate and their common dream.
Vincent and Victor both grew up without the ability to have proper music training and only took advantage when they entered secondary school. There they both joined their respective school’s band and it started their music journey. Both of them are heavily influenced by Jrock and Cpop music in their early age and even up till present; you can sense the influences still exist. Vincent soon moved into music that features guitar technicalities e.g. Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani and Dream Theater. Victor got more involved into Jrock bands e.g. Dir en grey and Gazette. Vincent started to perform actively under Singapore Polytechnic Guitar Club and was appointed as the Student Instructor. He also formed a band named Sandals and Bermudas which later on converted into Vive after some member changes. Vive only played for a few events and Vincent got involved in the army and Victor was invited to play in Lucify which later joined Mediacorp Channel U SuperBand competition. Lucify got into 3rd position after the long race. That competition gave Victor great exposure and experience which is crucial to what he is now.

Sean was previously from the now de-funct Revv and had performed under Revv for a long 5 years time. Alike most bassists out there, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Nathan East, Billy Sheehan, Jaco, Larry Graham, EWF, RHCP, Mayday, Beyond, are just one of the many of Sean’s influences. Sean’s style is never ending! From rock to fusion to jazz, you’ll be surprised what you’ll hear in his line. Just like the famous Singapore Dish ‘Rojak’, it’s a mix of everything. While Sean is not playing the bass, he will be somewhere out there around the neighborhood looking for good food.

Musical sense developed from young when Simin grew up listening to church choir practices. Similar to the “V brothers”, further ear training continued during her secondary school days after she joins the school’s band. Believe it or not, the person that started her playing the guitar is actually her sister! Carrying out a dream of her sister as well, Simin started to perform actively under Nanyang Polytechnic Guitar Club and later performed at The Ark Music Café, Music Dreamers Café and various events. Simin is greatly inspired by her favorite artiste, Cheer Chen and its no doubt you will see some similarities during her performance.

Without any formal vocal training, Siling is blessed with a natural soothing singing voice which most girls dream to have. Her passion of singing grew after listening to Zhang Hui Mei in her early days. Since then, Siling participated in various singing competitions in school and later started performing at a young age of 17 at The Ark Music Café. Having a strong-willed, energetic character, Siling is all out to rock you! Her favorite singers include Jay Chou, Cao Ge and she also admire singers like Joey Yung, Fish Leong and Angela Zhang.

"Lizzy梁式唱腔听了让整个气候感觉Lazy Lazy 凉凉的。有想法的创作丰富了音乐的生命,为独立领域增添了独具一格的total music。"



Lizz梁麗怡來自新加坡,是位單親家庭的獨生女。從小外婆常帶她去看演唱会,因此启发她對音樂和表演的興趣。童年時经常站在床上唱歌和表演给假想觀眾。在學校內,總会找機會為教師和學生演出。每当機會來了,她會好好把握,自己编导舞台表演。因著对音樂和表演的热爱,她決定學吉他,並開始認真地寫歌。終於在二月2009年,她發行她第一張同名ep專輯 “LIZZ”.

Matthew’s original composition was one of the three compositions selected for the finals in the Rhapsody 2002 competition’s song-writing category.

In July 2005, Matthew was invited to sing a Solo Item from “The Phantom of the Opera” during a farewell ceremony for Dr Ng Eng Hean.
