I Am David Sparkle - Dance of Death

about

"Not sure if Errol and Lesley know this, but KittyWu Records played a highly major role in the whole getting "woke" about the local music thing.
Having already moved on from my own round of shows before National Service called up for my soul, I think I chanced upon the MySpace page of both Amateur Takes Control and I Am David Sparkle. Pirate that I was, I ripped their songs straight from MySpace. Sorry guys.

During those years as a fresh entrant to the music scene, none of my other friends had any interest at all with catching local gigs (sad!) and I still remember feeling Very Bad when a Junior College crush of mine turned down my invitation to watch I Am David Sparkle play.

But no matter, I went alone to 'Sinema Sessions: An Evening with I Am David Sparkle'. This was in 2008 mind you, when Mount Sophia still had the arthouse cinema, which was hosting its first live music event.

Also, the first time watching I Am David Sparkle live, and fuck man what a trip. It was the first time watching a gig that had background visuals, and the first time I realised that, damn, Singapore does have legit bands.

The emotional pinnacle, however, had to be finally hearing 'Dance of Death' played live for the first time. That colossal crash of grand guitar riffs after that quiet bit in the song still gives me goosebumps today, man.

I may or may not have teared a little when the final strands of guitar and drums trailed off in that show. Feeling lah, what can I say. Thanks for setting up that evening, KittyWu."
