Music.Republic - the Republic performs at the Great Singapore Duck Race!

16 November 2003. The Republic's Rock Band was invited by the organizers of the Great Singapore Duck Race to perform a 30minute set, as part of the festivities of the internationally renown charity carnival. Pumping endless hours of practice to prepare themselves for this event, the rockers of Jammerz Arena put up a fine set of covers, from charming ballads from Tracy Chapman to blistering rock numbers like Sweet Child of Mine.
The appreciative crowd was treated to scorching solos of guitarist Marc Lee, soulful vocals of Muhammad Hafiz and Sofia, and the precise drumming of Syed Hyder. The funky riffs of Don Chan and the running basslines of our great showman, Alvin Ganesh complemented the band perfectly.

Now that Jammerz Arena has conquered her first public performance, we look forward to performing at more venues around the island, to spread that one unique Republic musical pulse.
