So what's happening?

There will also be a flea market run during the whole event, by the fun folks of Flea.Fly.Flo.Fun.
$18.00 entry at the door to attend the music segment, and drinks are happy hour prices the whole night till 11.30pm!!!
Entry charge is for you to experience the music segment only, the flea market segment does not have any entry charges as this will be held outside the venue. Charges for flea market stall rental will still apply though.
And why are we doing this?
The good news is: I Am David Sparkle has been selected to play a showcase performance at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas (USA!) beginning from 18 March onwards.
As far as the band knows, it will be only the 3rd Singaporean act to have been selected for this, with Electrico and The Great Spy Experiment having played there in 2007.
The bad news is: the costs for the band entourage (7 persons in total) to travel up to the US and play the SXSW showcase as well as its planned tour dates are ENORMOUS – we are looking in the region of more than S$30,000 (Ouch!) Besides pooling whatever money we can, and applying for grants, we still need an injection of funds to help us pay for costs for this, and this is why we have decided to hold this fundraiser party.
All the bands and the DJs have kindly agreed to support our cause and perform here without any performance charges, just so that we can raise funds to travel. And so, to all the performers listed here, we cannot thank you enough!
So this is our appeal to you – If you are a fan of I Am David Sparkle, or of KittyWu Records, or of any of the performers listed here, or even just want to support a Singaporean band that is going to travel to SXSW and have a great party in the process, please come to this event!
We need your support to raise additional funds, and with your help, this Singaporean band is gonna hit Stateside and show them that “Hey – we’ve got music that rocks, you know?”
PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT!
Love,
I Am David Sparkle
