SINGAPORE: Taiwanese bands Mayday and S.H.E. dominated the Singapore Hit Awards on Friday night, taking home five and four trophies respectively, while newcomer Rachel Liang and local songstress Tanya Chua followed closely with three each.
In almost a clean sweep, rock band Mayday took home five awards – one for each member – out of six nominations. They were crowned Artiste with Most Chart Hits, Best Band, Most Popular Group/Band, Album of the Year ["Poetry of the Day After"] and Asia Media Award (Band).
The usually casually-clothed band even dressed up for the occasion, ditching tees and jeans for partial suits - completed with ties, bow-ties, blazers and pants.
SINGAPORE : Foreign language performances are nothing unusual in Singapore.
However, one local theatre group went beyond language in an unusual collaboration with a Russian company.
"Sofaman" - which will be presented in Russian, English and Mandarin - is a collaboration between Singapore's The Necessary Stage and Russia's KnAM Theatre.
