The House Jacks in Singapore!!

Review: Our local percussionist star, Peter Huang opened the show for the House Jacks (HJs). He introduced a song or 2 from his debut solo album which the instruments were vocalised by him using layering to create a 'band sound'. However, the audience didn't take to his performance.

Impressive for a group of Malay guys who can sing in Chinese in a diction clearer than most Chinese locally. Next group, Lao Langs , Weak lead. Their 1st number "Mummer's Dance" proved to be sleep-inducing & the lyrics couldn...
