We are pleased to announce that Alan Bok (pic above, second from left) has joined TypeWriter as a permanent member. Alan, who recently produced Obedient Wives Club’s “Murder Kill Baby” EP, has been rehearsing with the band for our upcoming English Breakfast Tour as a sessionist but we’ve gotten along so well that he’s now part of the TypeWriter family. He is playing bass on the tour but once we are back from the UK in late May, Alan will switch to playing various instruments as TypeWriter veers towards a slightly different musical direction. Alan’s first gig with TypeWriter will be at Home club on 26 April 2013. Hope to see you there!

“That Deepest Blue” In Short Film

“That Deepest Blue” has been included on the soundtrack of the upcoming short film, “Rempah Sayang”, about a 15 year-old girl who loves eating her grandma’s food but when she has her first crush on the boy next door, she tries to lose weight and starts avoiding the grandma.

Directed by Mabel Gan, the film will be screening at The Peranakan Museum on 22 & 23 June as part of Children’s Season and at the Singapore International Children’s Film Festival at the Arts House, which is happening from 22 to 29 June.

The English Breakfast Tour

TypeWriter’s upcoming tour is called The English Breakfast Tour. It has nothing to do with the picture of the bread above. That was what Patrick had for breakfast. He baked that bread himself.

Desmond is unable to go on the UK tour because he is heavily involved with organising some events in May but he has given his blessings to Alan Bok who will be standing in on bass for the tour. Alan plays in the band Interlude and is a close friend of the band and will be co-producing TypeWriter’s new EP, which we hope to start recording after the tour. We hope to add more dates to the tour in the coming weeks. In the meantime, these are confirmed dates and venues:

26 April, 8pm Home club with Tricks & Cider, Enec.e and Kevin Mathews & The Groovy People
30 April, 8pm Artistry with The Pinholes
9 May, 8pm The Vauxhall Quay, Plymouth, UK
14 May, 4:15pm The Cavern Pub, Liverpool, UK

It Was A MAAD Night!

We had a great time at MAAD last Friday at the Red Dot Design Museum. Cashew Chemists were great and we all really dig their songs and music. The crowd was definitely one of the best we’ve played to. It’s always great to see people get up and dance to the music. How we wish every gig is like this! We found this video uploaded on YouTube of us playing “That Deepest Blue”. Enjoy!
