About I Am David Sparkle
I Am David Sparkle started out as an improvisational band in 2001 and was one of the first bands to play instrumental and post-rock music in Singapore.
The band writes music that draws inspiration from life, love and beauty, and invites the listener to explore the depths of human emotion.
I Am David Sparkle was awarded “Best Alternative Act” at the 2006 Motorola Super Style Music Awards, and has shared festival stages with international acts such as Copeland (USA), Furniture (Malaysia) at BayBeats 2005,
Agrikulture (Indonesia), Jurassic5 (USA), The Beastie Boys (USA) at Good Vibrations 2007. At Recharge Revelation 5 Global Gathering 2007, they performed at the festival with artistes like Simian Mobile Disco (UK), Futon (Thailand) and Pop Shuvit
(Malaysia) amongst many others.
I Am David Sparkle comprises Amran Khamis and Djohan Johari on guitar, Farizwan Fajari on bass and Zahir Zanosi on drums.
The band released their new album in Malaysia last Saturday at the Recharge Revelation 5 Global Gathering 2007, “Europe's biggest dance music festival”.
The new cd will be available in Singapore on 7th November 2007 at Straits Records

 General opinion regarding one Pete Doherty runs along the lines of 'fuck-up' and 'junkie scum' most of the time, but of course, general opinion is generally shaped by the manipulative entity that is the media. Gossip columnist, tabloids and swill mongers of similar nature will do anything to paint a picture with shades of pessimism to get copies off the racks, or to get their web advertising rate to appreciate.
Of course, there's the opposing camp insisting Doherty is a lyrical genius, arguing that the current pedestal he's set upon by conventional wisdom is angled incorrectly. Intoxication, after all, synonymous sometimes with certain schools of creative thought. Take Lester Bangs, Kurt Cobain, Hunter S Thompson, Jack Kerouac, and even Richey Edwards as examples.
Charles Bouledaire, whom often mused under the influence of Absinth and hashishe, once wrote, "in order to escape from the slavish martyrdom of time, intoxicate yourself; unceasingly intoxicate yourself; with wine, or poetry, or art - as you will."
In my personal opinion, Pete assures the latter group that their opinion holds more worth than that of Camp Swill with The Lost Art of Murder (soon to be released on the full-length "Shotter's Nation", to be released on the 1st of October for UK; 23rd for US).
He muses introspectively,
"Don't look at me like that
She won't take you back
You said to much
You been to unkind
Get up off your back
Stop smoking.... that
You could change your life
Do you think you'll change your mind"
Ah, that's the Pete we all know.

NATIONALISM DAY SPECIAL
august 9th 2007
5:30pm - 7pm (sg time +8 GMT)
unpopular.radio turns 2 years old. our nationalist ideology turns 42. join us as we celebrate the triumph of nationalism over the human capacity to reason. more importantly, let us enjoy the rich heritage of Singaporean music that have been an inextricable part of our past, present and future - unless the SAF military band is your favourite local band, then go watch NDP.
once again, just like our great ritual of nationalist parade-thing, this is one show on two channels.
