We always complain that local talents doesn’t get enough exposure in the mainstream media. We have couple of great local bands/singers out there. Just that they haven’t got a chance to proof themselves.
I’m pretty excited when I saw sixtyfive.sg from Hisham’s twitter. Sixtyfive.sg is a site showcasing local bands. Visitors get to check out some great songs by local bands like Electrico, Leeson, Jack & Rai, Plainsunset and many more. You can cast your vote for these songs. A kiss means you like the song and a middle finger means…. oh well, you get the idea. Visitors can also post comments like they usually do on a blog. Love the concept although I wish there could be more user participation. But hey, this site is still very new and in beta.
Hope there will be more of such initiative that helps promote local talents. Honestly, Singapore has a lot of talents. Just that they don’t have skill and abilities to promote themselves. We can all do our part by supporting our local talents.
PS: Hisham thought I would complain about this website initially for playing music on default after seeing what I did to inSing.com. But hey, why would I complain a site that auto play good music?

hmmmm interesting, sleek website.

the site is too empty.
