Lazy Sunday

Hi Guys:


Just felt like updating you on a lazy sunday afternoon. I searched "Lazy Sunday" on youtube out of curiousity of where my mood will bring me and, guess what, there's like this, totally rad song called Lazy Sunday by The Lonely Island. So Beasty Bois y'all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuXhGLveY7o

In terms of what Cockpit has been up to, we have been very busy writing new songs and coming up with new ideas (the songs are getting faster and faster! Speed does kill!~). Concurrently, we would also be doing recordings of all the material that we have so far. All this while we settle on our A&R stuff (eg we just recently finished a real awesome photoshoot session, also discussions with various gig organisers and endorsers). So yeah, we've been a little bit occupied of late.

For those who weren't there at the last Baybeats Auditions, we will be uploading videos of our set on our facebook and myspace in the next coming weeks. If you're wondering why there's only one song in our profiles right now, it's because we are almost obsessive in our pursuit of quality. We could upload a whole bunch of rough recordings that we have done, but they sound like bootlegs (which isn't bad BAD imo, but I think you get what I mean). Don't worry, we're really working on this!

In the meantime, stay cool and metal.

Rock on
PF

Geek Fotographi FTW



Bryan Soon has kindly sent us the photographs that he took during our little performance about a week ago, risking his physical wellness in the face of a mini-mosh pit that day. And he was still nice enough to pass us these in full DSLR glory, of which the full set can be seen in our facebook page or myspace. Cockpit recognizes courageous acts of such and gives them their due respect.

More awesome gig photos of his work can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryansoon/sets/72157623649808197/. Really, our pictures are small change (Bryan no offense, I mean it in a good way).

Not Enough Crystal Balls? Get them at Baybeats 2010!

Corporate announcement:

In an unprecedented, almost public endorsement of their stupidity on stage, the Baybeats Judges of Rock have announced that Cockpit is to perform for Baybeats 2010, which will be held on August 20-22.

Cockpit is indeed happy and overwhelmed with this news, because prior to this announcement they have always thought themselves to be the only crazy ones. Now it seems that, at long last, they are not alone.

Cockpit is sincerely appreciative and grateful to their friends and supporters who have come down to mosh during the second round auditions in the intense Sunday afternoon, and to every single Soul of Rock who sang "Crystal Ball". There will be a bigger riot waiting for you.

Baybeats Auditions - 2nd Round

Cockpit has made it past the first round of the Baybeats Auditions, and they will be participating in the second which will be held on 28 March 2010, at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre.

As our performance will be for audition purposes, this set will be relatively short. But of course, we always welcome your support. There will also be 15 other diverse bands playing alongside us so I'm sure it will be a day of sonic awesomeness. Plus the view of the Singapore River there is quite nice LA. We will firm up more details for you when we get them.

On the A&R front, our friend Karen has upped her street cred (again!) by designing our cool band logo. Talks on band merc are on the way! Thanks to her we have also taken some pictures of the first round of auditions, release date tba. Kudos to the guys at Studio Fifty Seven who have hosted this event, notably Isaac who has been very welcoming. It's a really nice place, even if you're not there to jam.
