When the sun was about to set, some people (who were mostly teenagers) started to rush themselves to the front row as Archy Marshall or famously known as King Krule came up on stage. Wearing a unique fish-shapped hat, this young man began rapping in gibberish with some set of jazzy tunes and hip-hop beats. King Krule and the band mixed it really well, it turned out to be beautiful. He took everyone’s hearts with songs from his debut album “6 Feet Beneath The Moon”, our favourite moment was when he played Baby Blue.

As the skies went darker, the stage filled with the smokes from the dried ices. Mogwai began their set with ‘Heart About You Last Night’. With approximately 90 minutes, Mogwai blew away the crowd’s mind. It was the second time for this post-rocker in Singapore since their last show in 2009.

Then it was the time for The National. Matt Berninger came up on stage with a glass of white wine. He greeted the crowd and start playing ‘Don’t Swallow The Cap’ from their latest album which also got nominated for Grammy, ‘Trouble Will Find Me’. Berninger enchanted the crowd with his baritone vocal followed by occasionalscream through ‘Sea of Love-Afraid of Everyone-Squalor Victoria’, not to mention his astonishing stage performance. The crowds gone wild when Berninger walked to them during Mr. November. If we were asked to describe how epic their show was, we would be having a hard time to create a line to describe it, since the show was pretty mindblowing and beyond our expectation.

Guess we all should give some shout-out ‘Thanks’ to Hostess Asia for bringing the new experience to the Singaporeans, it really was a great time to experience the annual event which is also held in Japan.
