Questions are always asked aplenty… what are these 2 jokers up to? General assumptions is that we sleep alot (not with each other), play guitar all day, drink, eat and watch B-grade movies on DVD.

For starters, it’s been a super busy Oct/Nov period, with more to come! Starting with our new daytime projects…

Project 1: Setting up a home studio (only because Rai put it off for damn long)



Hmm… How do we use Logic Pro…? (the software Not the brain matter)

Project 2: Improve technical knowledge (so we can open speakers)



Cos we can only open speakers when we are professional. =)

Project 3: The Schoolhouse Rockz Telemovie in the making!

A new foray into writing music for Jack & Rai, we’re working on the soundtrack of the Schoolhouse Rockz movie, to be aired next year on the Okto Channel. Rehearsals and recordings are underway, with us and dance choreographer Jeff! Work on the songs is still in progress, but hopefully we have most of it done by mid-end December.



Nope not a normal class, but a Schoolhouse Rockz class! Our young dancers and singers learning choreography for the shoot.

Project 4: Non-stop Rockin’ and Rollin’!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls…
1 more day, and it’s gonna be the big one for Jack and Rai!

Timbre Music Festival 2008
Yup, if you haven’t been hounded by us telling you about the concert, then here it is again — Sept 24th (tom), Timbre @ The Arts House, 8.30pm. This is gonna be the last big show before we get out of Singapore this weekend for a well-deserved break at the Contiki Resort Bali.
Tickets will be available at the door at $35 each, including 1 standard drink.
Drivers please park at the New Parliament House car park as you know that F1 has caused some road closures and diversions in the area.

General Schedule (26-28 Sept)
As we’ll be away over the weekend, we just wanna let everyone know that Jack and Rai will not be playing at Wala on Fri (26 Sept) and Sunday (28 Sept). Those shows will still go on and we hope that you can join our super-subs Mindtrick for a fabulous time at Wala Wala.

That’s all for now people! Take care and we’ll see you at Timbre Arts House Tomorrow!

Cheers,
Jack and Rai
