12 Oct 2024, Powerhouse² (Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade)
sub:shaman (SG)
Premiere: 12 Dec, 8pm
sub:shaman are sound-makers who continue to reinvent and redefine the structure of their music, carving themselves a dark, chaotic and occasionally groovy space. With funky bass and guitar lines, jazzy rhythms and electronic flourishes, the band quickly made a name for themselves in the local and regional indie music scene ever since their 2012 debut.
After a five-year hiatus, the Baybeats Budding Band alumni returned with its bold sound, rife with musical twists and turns for Baybeats 2024, on 12 Oct at Powerhouse² (Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade). They presented highlights from releases such as Outsider. (2014) and Apnea (2017), and new, unreleased material.
About the festival
The 23rd edition of Baybeats, presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, took place from 11–13 Oct 2024. Each year, Baybeats works hard to bring together a diverse mix of alternative artists, from Singapore and around the world. Baybeats hopes to create a space where emerging and established artists share the same stages, where boundaries fade, and where a passion for music and shared moments are what truly matter.
As Singapore’s largest free alternative music festival, the success of Baybeats is built upon years of strong support from our independent music scene, from musicians and fans who have grown with the festival (and now bring their families along), to our Baybeats Budding Bands and first-time festival-goers. Baybeats thrives because of everyone’s unwavering support and belief in alternative music.
