The up-and-coming indie pop/rock quintet consisting of lead vocalist, FRED MACPHERSON, CHRIS BURMAN on guitars, THOMAS SHICKLE on bass, JED CULLEN on synth and guitars and my personal favourite, drummer, DANNY BLANDY – SPECTOR, popped by our shores for a debut gig at AVALON two thursdays ago!!
honestly, prior to the gig, there was nothing much i know of the band musically as i have only youtube-d their single CHEVY THUNDER and GREY SHIRT AND TIE, and that was it.
i must say i was pleasantly surprised by what i had experienced at the show. clad in nice, pretty suits from TOPSHOP/TOPMAN, the presenter of the gig, the five of them looked suave and gorgeous (yes – im biased!! :P)
fred made random and silly remarks in between the set of 8 songs and it was entertaining and hilarious. he also have some kinda OCD to keep his hair in place and whipping his comb out every now and then to make sure it's in place!! HA HA! and most importantly, these british boys were good-looking – doesn’t get any better than that, does it? have i already mentioned that already? ha ha

one of the things that was really funny was when fred said that since it was the band’s first gig here in singapore, those who were in attendance “could tell your children one day that you were at the first ever SPECTOR gig”.
“and your kids are gonna ask you ‘who the fuck is SPECTOR?’”
HA HA!

and they reminded me a lot like THE KILLERS, musically while appearance wise, BRANDON FLOWERS is better looking ha ha
they are already being ticked as one of the most exciting bands of 2012, the future sure looks bright for these lads from the uk.
they are currently on their own headline tour all across the uk and im also pretty confident that these boys will make their return to our shores sooner than we think, especially so judging from the response of the crowd! :DDD
am I glad to be at the gig? H E L L Y E A H ! ! ha ha
last but definitely not the least, here's leaving you with the setlist from the gig:
- Friday Night
- 20 Nothing
- What You Wanted- Grey Shirt And Tie
- Celestine
- Grim Reefer
- Chevy Thunder
- Never Fade Away
