Synopsis

There’s a dinosaur in the concert hall! Who do you call?

 

The Pitch Patrol, of course!

 

Armed with their chords, instruments and a whole lot of groove, this band of melody-making heroes is here to save the day!

 

Whether it’s pesky rapping trolls under your bed, mermaids stuck in water pipes or a dinosaur that has lost its way in time, the task force has just the right tune for every emergency.

 

Join the Pitch Patrol as they go on wacky, genre-bending missions full of stories, mythical creatures and adventure. Discover the hidden power of music—the elegance of classical, the wild energy of pop-rock, the smooth grooves of jazz and the bold beats of rap.

 

Get ready to clap, sing and groove along—it’s time to make some magic with music.

The Lorong Boys

The Lorong Boys are multi-genre musicians who pride themselves as a group that constantly pushes the boundaries of conventional music-making. While their musical roots are in Classical and Jazz, they frequently explore other genres and improvisational music from Funk to Pop to Soul and Film.

 

This is not only due to their love of musical experimentation but also because of their ongoing quest of finding and defining a uniquely “Singapore Sound”. Having appeared on both local TV and radio stations, the group performs frequently around Singapore and have also appeared internationally in Jakarta, Indonesia as well as Busan, South Korea.

 

In 2022, the group performed as soloists alongside the Singapore Symphony Orchestra for their 2022 National Day Concert. They also released their Seven Films album on Facebook and YouTube in the same year.

 

The Lorong Boys aim to be the foremost Classical Music crossover group in Southeast Asia with their signature electrifying performances, while steadfastly committing to exemplary standards.
