"it's so much easier to just put your music out there for free and encourage people to come down to shows - pay to watch the live shows and enjoy the experience of being part of the music."
The pride of Singapore, this girl is the first Singaporean to be invited to play in the States. Making money from live shows and allowing her music to be downloaded for free, she proves to be a champion of the new business model for artists.

Individual Progress
I've been thinking. Even if we practise an hour every day with our instruments, that will only be 7h a week. And a month it'll be 28h. And a year that'll be 336h. It seems so far to hit a decent amount of practice time. But we try. I did before going to sleep last night. Just plugged in headphones to amp and played for about an hour before going to bed. And boy did it feel good hearing the sounds inside my head of overdriven guitar.
We might marginally hit 2 practices a month for January, which is on track for 2010. As for gigging, we need to sit down and discuss how a wedding gig might happen. Assuming it doesn't fall between the time I go to HK.
Singing lesson to start this Thursday. Vocal coach has learnt from someone in Japan. Hope that this will improve vocals part of the band. We got work to do as a band that aims to surface this year. With Alex's involvement with people who WILL bring us the gig opportunities, it's how we make use of this outlet to justify our existence. As Attic Tractor, and not by any other name shall we be made known.
Sure we have our own lives to get ahead with. But I'm sure you're in this for a reason. And when the reason becomes compelling enough, you will want to do more than give it minimal effort to stay in this band.
Cheerios.
