If you like this, you'll prolly dig the rest of the EP as well. If you don't like this, well you should prolly listen to some other band, ask your mom to cook you a good meal, clean your ears and listen to our shit again. HAHA. JUST KIDDING.

We've uploaded a "video update" on youtube, just showing you how recording with roland lim in scape and at the man's home studio has been a thrilling and enlightening experience for us all. watch as we are taken aback by this man's ability to make our horripulation turn into something much more audible....  do check it out if you haven't already, click here to watch the video on youtube!

Here's the update we're excited as hell about:

Whoa, this is overdue. I'd just like to start by extending HUGE OVERDUE THANKS to everyone who was watching our set at the IGNITE music festival last month. Thanks so much for welcoming Weiwen into the band. Honestly, it wasn't a very good set on our part but you guys made every second of it so much fun. Oh and thank you Diana from SheFallsAsleep for your kind pictures and that really fast youtube vid!!!!

It's been a crazy month for us as we battle the time crisis between the band, family, school, work, attachments, and army life, so we haven't been updating regularly. Our band's been through hefty changes, (every year our plans seem to change) but we're stomping both feet down this time. Hear you me, we will release our EP in March 2010.

Recording has been fun, we just tracked "The Lost Boy," the first song on our EP and apparently some of you guys have heard it already. Hope you guys like it as much as we do! We're not going to be playing much shows at this time of the year, but we're pretty much maxed out at the recording and jamming studios. we promise studio journals though!!! and we'll be back playing shows towards the end of the year.

We're also thinking of getting new merch out towards the end of the year when we start playing shows again, cause I bet you guys are sick of our old badges! More updates on that when we actually get it done!

Bad news for anyone who still hasn't had a chance to get the *limited Orion singles, there are a total of about 14 odd CDs left for purchase. For those of you who already have it, we thank you so very much for the support :)

Well that's about it, other than the slight changes you've seen at our myspace, that's that for us right now. We'll be uploading new tracks soon SO STAY TUNED GUYS!!!!

cheers,
bong

Hey guys,

Just an update to properly introduce the new voice of our band. This goes out to everyone who's supported Weiwen's solo act, For This Cycle, and also everyone who has patiently been with us through everything. For the record though, I'd just like to say that if Saosin could do this, we can do it too. Haha! Cheers!

We just filmed a short snippet for the promo vid for the Ignite! music festival at Republic Poly, and had a quick photoshoot done courtesy of our dear friend Heider. (Villians)
It was alot of fun, and a great way for us to bond as a new band. We're really looking forward to a great future as a band, and we cannot thank you guys enough for the moral support we've received. It's been a surprisingly smooth change, with the exception of the unnecessary drama at our show at the Arts House. I shall not elaborate on that, for that is another story for another day. Once again though, we'd like to thank Weiwen himself for taking this responsibility upon himself so readily and passionately. We're really excited to have him in the family. For those of you who don't know who he is, check out HIS MYSPACE! That's right, it's his solo act. We met him way back at Deafcon 5 when we were playing an acoustic show alongside him. We didn't know who he was and were really stoked at the amount of talent he had. Bong's guitar screwed up as usual, and kind old Weiwen lent his dearest possession to him to play the show. It was love at first sight. Pretty gay, but that's how the story goes. Been friends ever since, and played a great many shows alongside him. He even opened for our launch of 'Orion' last october. Our change in vocal roles could not have been easier given the fact that he's been really supportive of our band from the moment we met, and is one of our our closer friends in the music scene.

It's a real blessing to have someone with such a great deal of passion, dedication and talent in our band, but let's not forget Zach, with whom we've grown up as a band, shared so many experiences and learnt so much.

The split was mainly a result of clashing priorities. No grudges held, it was for the better of the band and us as friends to respect Zach's priorities in life and to let him go. Putting aside all the frustrations we've had over the past two years, it was an awesome journey with him. We've released and almost sold out our first CD, played on National Television, played at the Esplanade, and had the priviledge of opening the stage for huge local acts that we look up to and respect so much.

We've started to plan for pre-production of our long overdue album, a personal goal that's been bugging us since we've started. It's going to be a long way from now till it's done, but you can definitely expect the album out by mid 2010. Yeah, "goal 2010." haha. It's a long process, and definitely a tough one, given our financial situation, well, the norm with most bands in Singapore anyway. We are going to do our best to keep on schedule, and deliver the album as promised next year. There's a hint of intent to do a music video as well. But i'll keep things shushed for now.

We're also waiting to secure a new management deal with The Bastard Movement, and a new A&R contract with our label Big Ear Music. Hopefully, with this intact, we'll be able to distribute our music on a more professional front, making it available online, and possibly to other countries in the region as well. And also, play more shows. hehe.

Meanwhile, we're working our way ourselves to get back in the game again. July is packed with a show almost every weekend for us, and we can't wait to get out there to play for you guys once again. We'll be uploading our new tracks as soon as they get done, and revamping our myspace as well. Keep checking back, fellas!

*Correction from the last blog entry: our first show with Weiwen on vocals will be on the 4th of July, an acoustic show at Starbucks, One Fullerton. More details will be posted up soon!

To end off a rather wordy entry,
Thank you EVERYONE for sticking with us,
words simply cannot express our gratitude.
so come for our new show. and we'll show you.

cheers,

The new Trella.

I had no idea how to start this post. I'm not very good at announcing news, let alone this. But simply put, we have just changed our vocalist.




We strongly believe that Friendship is the most important ingredient in forming a band, sometimes even more important than the band itself. We've decided to let Zach go on account of this.

It was a collective decision, and we consider ourselves lucky to have been able to do this with maturity. To clear up any bad air, Zach did not leave us. We decided this together. It's one of the hardest decisions we've had to make up to this point, but we decided this for ourselves. Here's to Zach and everything we've been through as a band. We'll miss you bro.

Do come down to support Zach's last show with us, "Beneath The Floorboards," 5-9pm at Earshot Cafe, The Arts House. Admission is free. We'll be playing alongside Amateur Takes Control, Postbox, Actdeux and For This Cycle. Zach will be playing the last song of our set solo for you guys.

I'd just like to extend Zach's gratitude to everyone who's supported us for the past two years. You guys have been so amazing, and we can't thank you enough. Your continual support means everything. :)

Trella will still continue to fully function as a band, with a new vocalist in place. He is none other than our dear friend, Weiwen Seah, more popularly known as For This Cycle. We are deeply honoured and ever so grateful to have him on board with us.



Our first show with him will be on the 24th of July at Republic Poly's IGNITE! music festival.

See yall there,
And remember, you guys are as much a part of this band as we are.

Peace,
Trella
