Home Grooves


Managed to drop by this mini exhibition at the Esplanade before heading for coffee. 


It's basically documenting local music through the decades. 

Of course, I spent the most time reading up on the showcased guitars:

  1. Suhaimi's Yamaha. Suhaimi is the guitarist of Stomping Ground, one of the foremost hardcore bands here. I used to watch them perform at Harbour Front when it was still known as the World Trade Center. On weekends, bands performed at the amphitheater for free. 
  2. Partick's Fender. Patrick Chng is a member of the Oddfellows, a well-known indie act. The Fender decal is a replacement so this may / may not be a Fender. Might be a partcaster of sorts.
  3. Francis' Washburn. The initiated among us know him as Francis Frightful of the band Opposition Party. This band had some of the best punk vibes & a strong following.
If you are interested to know more, do drop by Esplanade's concourse area (where the indoor live stage is). There should be more efforts to document music developments here & this one gets my thumbs up.
