Glow with Neon Trees
By Hester Tan, channelnewsasia.com
SINGAPORE: American Alternative rock band, Neon Trees, known for hits like "Animal" and "1983" is finally coming to town, to kick-start their first ever Asian tour.
Set to perform at Fort Canning Park on 26 July, the four-member band says fans should pack loads of energy for their show.
"You can expect a lot of energy. We think it's really important to put on a good live show. We don't wanna be a band that just gets up and plays the album like it is, you know you could've just listened to the CD than come to see us" said drummer Elaine Bradley in a phone interview.
"We wanna make the live shows something really exciting, so I think you can expect energy, we like to kinda have a shared energy with the crowds. We demand a lot on the crowd, you know, to dance and sing with us and basically just have a good time with us."
The four-member band from Utah which includes lead singer Tyler Green, base guitarist Branden Campbell, and guitarist Chris Allen are excited to be headed to Asia.
"We're just excited to be in the country, because none of us have ever been [to Singapore before].
"It's a really big deal. We don't know what to expect but [we're] really excited to come. Hopefully we'll have a day off and have fun exploring.
"We are the type of people that really enjoy finding good food, so we hope that someone from Singapore will tell us where the best local food is."
Food seems important for this young band, since as Bradley revealed, "we're the band that is named after a fast food restaurant!"
"Tyler and his friends used to hang out at 'In and Out' restaurant in California" said Bradley of the early high school days of her band-mates, adding that "in that particular restaurant's interior, they have these glass neon palm tree lights and he and his friends used to joke about being in the band called 'Neon Palm Trees'.
"Later when he and Chris got together and played music, the name Neon Trees kinda sticks, so they kept the name."
There's definitely no lack of imagination for this group who are working on their upcoming album.
"[We are in] the process of doing some demos, and we're gonna get together after this Asian run and start writing some more new stuff.
"I think we really want the second album to be high energy and fun. We definitely don't wanna come out with a second album that's nothing like the first one."
After their first performance in Singapore, the band will be heading to Indonesia, Australia, South Korean, Japan and even China before going back to work on their second album.
