If you’re looking for something unconventional and fresh, The Sallys is precisely what you need: “a very melodically weird or unique undefined ska, indie & disco music mixed together.” When I first met The Sallys, it was backstage at Baybeats 2007. They immediately caught my eye – they walked in as a large group, instruments in hand and their exuberance was inspiring. ArtZine finds out more about The Sallys album launch in late November.

Politics. Too big a word to get involved in? Yet Singaporeans are definitely not apathetic when it comes to politics in the home. Somehow, you’ll find yourself unwittingly pulled into family politics.
It doesn’t take much – even a simple disagreement can divide a family. Take ordering pizzas for example. Dad wants Hawaiian, Mom wants Pepperoni and you’re on the fence – hungry but not picky. Mom and Dad both turn to stare at you. Whose side will you take?
Can’t tell apart your phone calls from your stage calls? Don’t know where upstage or downstage is? What does the stage manager take note of? ArtZine’s Lingo series is back! This week, we continue from where we ended in Theatre Lingo II.

Photography is an attempt to be truthful. I say this with regards to my practice which questions the use of the photographic document in contemporary art.” – Robert Zhao

Gone are the days when puppets sang of “ABC” and “123″ along Sesame Street. All innocence aside, puppets are all grown up now and singing “What do you do with a B.A. in English” and “I’m Not Wearing Underwear Today”. It’s the hilarious songs that make Avenue Q unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Big jump, don’t you think? Watching this Singapore reproduction of the Broadway hit Avenue Q will definitely erase your memories of the good old Sesame Street days.
