REPLUG • IGNITE! MUSIC FESTIVAL 2013

School is out for the the first semester of academic year 2013! We hope the study break has found you guys well. UT's over. Quit asking your classmates what answer they gave for that particular question, we're sure everything's going to be alright. Always remember, confidence is timeless and sexy.

Now for some fun!



As if you didn't already know, Ignite! Music Festival was staged in RP some weekends ago on August 23rd and 24th (Click here for trailer). Replug had the chance to share the stage with the likes of crowd-favourites - Caracal, A Vacant Affair, We the Thousands, The Sam Willows, Youthwreck and a heck lot more. An event you ought to regret if you have missed!

Two bands from the senior batch sure had crammed their (already) tight schedules to put together fresh and replugified arrangements of 4 songs, 2 of which you should be familiar with. The first band (consisting of 4 vocalists - Joey, Marissa, Farah, Khadijah - , Zaim as the bassist, Deon on drums and Jabez & Wei Ching on guitars) gave a harmonious spin to a current hit by Imagine Dragons, Radioactive as well as Yellowcard's Only One. 
And of course, we were sure we couldn't go wrong with the second band's set, consisting of Danial and Natasha (vocalists), Shafiq (beatbox), Hafidz and Chung (guitar), Shafeeq (drums) as well as Zaim (superman bassist). Evidently a crowd-pleaser since RP Jam and Hop earlier this year (see video1 / video2), we knew it had to be done again with a quirky twist you might have noticed if you had caught the entire of Replug opening for the second day of the festival.

It's an understatement of the world to say we had a kick-ass time. Ignite! Music Festival is most certainly one of the bigger events we have always been excited about every year. Can't wait to see y'all again 2014!

With it's inaugural show back in 2008, IGNITE! Music Festival has been touted as one of the largest music festivals in Singapore. Showcasing local talents such as Plainsunset, Electrico, The Great Spy Experiment, Fatskunks, Caracal and many more. Over the years, more than 20,000 people have enjoyed and been part of the IGNITE!

Are you ready? | Arts Platter: Power Acoustic

It's about time you heard from this space. We apologise for the slight break. It was not because we've abandoned our writing charm (ha ha), but in fact, our dedicated members of Replug have been busy spending days and sacrificing hours to prepare themselves for the upcoming spectacular shows which include the ever-popular, annual-favorite, IGNITE! Music Festival! 

But before hitting the main festival stage, we're going to start the ball rolling and warm you guys up by giving you just a little bit of taste of what you can expect from the long-awaited IGNITE! itself. Allow us to present to you........


Power Acoustic! - our little production put together with joint efforts of The Republic Cultural Centre and Campus Arts Production.

If you had missed our last production, - more known as Doowops to HeartThrobs - that was held in TRCC Studio some time in April, this is your chance to relive it again! Plus, it's time we exposed our darling Replug babies (junior batch) to you, bringing songs from Bon Jovi to Jessie J and Zedd?? We can't wait to share the amount of fresh new talent that is so hard to contain!

August 14th at 4.30pm. Be sure to block that date for this jam-packed pre-IGNITE! show you won't wish to miss. Come on down to Republic Poly South Agora. See you there!
