Musicians in Flight

Woooish... Wheeeizz... De Poink De Poink...

My gosh. If you are free tomorrow (5/6/05) night at 8.30pm or 9.45pm, it may be a good idea to pop by the Esplanade. There is a whole series of fringe art performances going on there, and here I'd like to reccommend this particularly good one - The Shinzo Electric Stunt Orchestra!!

Happened to pass by tonight and was totally mesmerized by this 4-men band strumming their guitars, vioin & drums, & singing, ALL WHILE SUSPENDED IN AIR & DOING SOMERSAULTS! Talented, Passionate Stuntmen-Musicians!! How very very exciting & charming! Being also physically attractive was just the icing on an already yummy cake. Not to forget the all-important, agile & muscle-rippling background belayers who were energetically & elegantly scaling up & down the side poles, controlling the 'flight' & 'pattern formation' of these 4 men. It was such a treat, like a cirque du soleil + rock-jazz band hybrid. Mama Mia!

I am no high-class arty-farty connoisseur. I love this kinda performance art, much like I appreciate those who create music out of garbage bins & kitchen woks. Raw, intense & super engaging. I am sold.

Go catch it yourself. Remember to breathe when they do their mid-air turns & jumps. Then remember to wolf-whistle & clap very hard when it's all over. Bon Appetit!
