Farren Reaves!

Hey guys!

Check out the radio ad we did for Music Canteen! Have a good laugh while you're at it! And once you're done, go check out the other radio ads. Here's our pick of the lot, the ad by Tempered Mental.

Jamtank: Urban Musicians Alliance

Here are excerpts of some of my comments in JamTank recently;

Musiccanteen christmas compilation CD reviews...
Man... haven't been here for ages, and I'm greeted with even more bitching and in-fighting.

RM28 for an album produced by Greg Henderson and featuring 17 artistes is too expensive? *sigh* We all know that producing an album has all kinds of costs, and they need to be covered. Let's not talk about pricing being the factor of Malaysian music's downfall... how about the consumers being the very reason?

As for 'how low have we sunk?'... if this is sinking low, we'll be sinking lower in times to come. And hopefully the day will come when our local bands will have access to recording well produced albums of their own.

Not here to pick any fights, just thought since everyone was sharing their opinions, I'd share mine too. I'm sure we can all disagree without becoming enemies.

'Negaraku' Rock Version....
What the heck is going on here? Since when is someone's English such a factor in how he/she should be treated?! Unless I've missed out on some history as to why ivango is hated, then I apologize. But I see nothing wrong with posting in broken English. English is not a native language of most people. And you'd be surprised at how broken most Europeans' English are! So let this Malaysian go... if he can't speak his own language, then go ahead and give him a hard time, but English?! Damn... it shows how much we're still colonized up till now... we condemn each other cuz 'we no speaking Engrish'

Fallen Leaves Christmas Gig (18th Dec 2004)
Hey... thanks for your kind words. Everyone has been stating that our song has a gothic quality to it... I've never really listened to goth rock, so maybe I should and find out what everyone is talking about!

Oh yes, before I forget... since a few of you have already picked Tempered Mental, Naked Breed, and One Buck Short... I'll go ahead and pick someone else. On second thought... I'll stick with popular opinion.

I like the arrangement and the verses of Naked Breed's Carol of the Bells very much. It's got an edge to it.

And Tempered Mental's rendition of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen was beautifully executed. I absolutely love Melina's voice. That mid-tone is beautiful. And yes, the band is as tight as a straight man's arseh*le.

I'd pick Fallen Leaves' What Child is This as well, but that'd be biased.

A URL issue

It is with extreme excitement that I announce to you that the URL, www.fallenleaves.com is finally available for the band to purchase! For years, that URL had been taken by some poet... I think so. My memory fails me. That was the reason why we've been having www.fallen-leaves.com instead. But now, the time has come for us to take what was rightfully ours. All those of you who are interested to work on our superlicious website can contact us at fallenleaves@gmail.com. The invasion continues...
