…OR at least to D’Marquee at Downtown East in Pasir Ris.
Yup, just when you thought it wouldn’t happen, metallers Lamb Of God – guitarist Willie Adler, drummer Chris Adler, bassist John Campbell, guitarist Mark Morton and vocalist Randy Blythe – will be in town as part of their Wrath World Tour next April.
“We’ve been trying to get Lamb Of God to Singapore for the past two years and finally managed to secure a date for 2010,” said organisers LAMC Productions. “We’ve been following them for quite awhile and felt the time was right as they are one of the biggest metal bands right now.”

SO HERE’S what happened: On Sunday, your Abang received news that Muse, world’s second greatest live band after Radiohead (IMHO anyway), would be in town next Feb.
- Here’s one for all you Muse fans
Naturally, I spent so much time telling everybody about it, I forgot to mention it here and in the paper.
Then just now, the good folk at LAMC Productions and NTUC annouced that Hoobastank will be here for a New Year’s Eve party called Party On! Singapore. So this time, I’m making you read it here first.
Now, I know all you detractors are going, “Oh no! Not that band who sang that boring song called The Reason that’s been played ad nauseum since its release years ago!”
I understand. I was once like that. But that was before I saw these guys kick out the jams at MTV Worldstage in Malaysia earlier this year. And now mine eyes have seen … well, not the glory, but at least I know they’re not as boring as detractors would have us think.
And I haven’t seen anyone who can get 15,000 people pogoing to the strains of Ray Parker Jr’s Ghostbusters since, well, Ray Parker Jr. Would be interesting to see if they can create the same effect here.
