The history of VSecrets (Part 3): Our Debut! ....

.... On You-Tube that is ;). In this final episode of the VSecrets Trilogy, we travelled back in time and recap on the events that led to VSecrets embarking on their first step towards globalization (definitely up there with the rest eg. collapse of Berlin wall, netscape etc etc) : Our first clip on You-Tube and embracing a global audience !!??!!

To commemorate this ground breaking event, would just like to recap two key related events:

i) The catalyst - JG "Eh, actually I got bring camera leh !! wanna record or not ?? ;)"

ii) The consequence - Loti, the final piece of the back up band puzzle is finally resolved. Loti transforms to Loti Bassi!

So, as we count down towards our last jamming session of the year with Secrets World Tour 31 Dec 再见 2008 , lets recite our band pledge and enjoy our first ever Vidz. Wish everybody a better 2009 ahead.

VSecrets Rock!
Nil silex silicis labore .....

Please bear with us,

Nothing professional.
You tube is the best avenue to share video clips among us.
Cheers ;).

The history of VSecrets (Part 2): The mystery of the origin

As promised, this is the second part of the VSecrets Trilogy: The humble beginnings. “Secretly” reckon just as everybody is entrenched in real heavy duty partying on Christmas it would be a great day to continue this story. Apart from “when did VSecrets first started/ when have u guys started doing this ??” (Right April?), the next most frequent FAQ about the magical mystery of VSecrets would be unveiled. Hold on to your seat belts, here goes the origin of the name VSecrets …………

Hi all,

Please go through and check. No guarantee it's 100% correct. Feel free to amend it and resend to all

For the singer, whoever you are, pls prepare your own copy of the lyrics. My stupid computer can't recognise some of the characters so..

Think it's you, Joseph AKA Joe Chew. Good luck. Highest note is high A. My max is D... so... I can't imagine anyone singing an A...

Oh, by the way, what's the name of the band?


sincerely,
Fred

For the singer, I believe this version of lyrics attached is more accurate, hopefully it can be displayed on your comp, I checked thru once & it seems ok. Maybe you might wanna edit it for your own convenience into corresponding verses, chorus, etc.


Name of the band, pls consider also Liam & the Lumberjacks, Joseph & the Jamborees. Sorry Sam, can't think of any "S" groupie name at the moment, will follow up.

dear secretives,

how about confirming the songs for the next jamming session? Mine is Xiao Wei by Huang Ping Yuan. How about the rest? Let's get it sorted out so that we can practice it in our free time.


sincerely,
Fred

Dear Secrets,


As for song list, has traced backed the two songs proposed. Xiao wei and XinDong. However think due to lack of bassist and female vocalist at the moment, can I take off the song and replace it with Dani California (mp3 attached). The rest of the members do propose a song each too, and if its too rushed for any new songs (only 2 days) then we can also adjourn all new songs to subsequent session and just jam the old songs this time round.


All secrets do feedback so that we can firm up program for the day. Anyway just to reiterate again jamming studio booked 1-3 pm ajlunied Wee Lee beside MRT.


Cya !


And there, the nigel nigma decoder of the mystery of the band name VSecrets is finally unveiled. Merry Christmas !!!

PS: Hmmn, the secret advisor likes Victoria's Secrets??
