Tomorrow Is Our Permanent Address



Since I arrived in Singapore I have been enjoying quite a few local bands like The Observatory or The Great Spy Experiment but this one beats them all. The Bani (hence the name) family band B-Quartet was celebrating the release of its new CD ('Tomorrow Is Our Permanent Address') by a sold-out concert at the Arts House's Playden. Clever lyrics, tortured singer, excellent instrumentations, funny interludes, amazing visuals, they have it all! I will drop an easy reference but the singer's voice is not dissimilar to Thom Yorke and they confirmed it by doing a cover of Radiohead's Paranoid Android during the gig. It is just sad that Singapore's market is too small for such a good band to reach bigger audiences.
