this is how you start a new year.

i saw Stars yesterday for their first ever show in SEAsia, and they are AWESOME.

the sound could have been slightly better, but other than that they really put on a show - this is the first and probably the last time i'll see the Esplanade stage decked up like a rose garden, and the band members constantly tossed stalks of roses and petals into the audience (i really want to know.. do they do that in most of their other shows?).

Torq really made the show for me.. he was unstoppable and brought the energy across really strongly - miming thumping hearts, doing the robot, running off into the wings to get more flowers to throw, coming off down the stage and making his way across the crowd by stepping over seats.. it was almost god-like. and oh, amy's voice is SUBLIME. even though they played for nearly 2 hours and included all my favourite songs it seemed to end too soon.
