About Me

The Vinyl Summer is as simple as it gets – 4 guys and a girl to strike the balance right. We’re all about ‘chopping’ seats at coffeeshops with packets of tissue paper so we’d get to queue up for our favourite bak chor mee in peace. You might also catch us there at night with bottles of tiger beer, reading Oscar Wilde.
Making music is about giving back to society. Thus, we hereby announce that ear-plugs are to be banned at all gigs. Any person found in possession of such an item will be fined $1000 upon committing this crime. Repeat offenders, will be fined double this amount, and be subjected to our manager’s precious rotan. The number of strokes will be determined by his mood, which is often not very good when it comes to such things. And of course, we could also use the money to buy our poor guitarists new pedals, and fund Heider Tan Pan Cake’s change of name in his IC. Truly we are Singaporean, and also rather tragic.
Take us seriously, only if there’s an “alcohol forbidden” sign strung around our necks. Just a gentle reminder, beware of the schizophrenic bandleader. He bites.
So, if you’d like to see music-making merlions come to live, please email Nicky Chim (our spanking new manager that loves to spank us!) at [email protected].
