The number of times I caught Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki and Tony McGuinness “live”, I am pretty sure they should have gotten their hands on a Singapore permanent residency by now. For those who haven’t (or can’t get enough,) the trio lands on the grand dame once again, this time for a Deepavali eve special. Fresh off the release of their second studio album Group Therapy, catch the trance DJ-producers drop blazing charters like “Sun & Moon”, “You Got to Go” and “Sun in Your Eyes” on top their other dancefloor anthems. It looks like this is going to be a riot with A&B and trance fans expected to populate the club to the brim.

Lykke Li “Live” in Singapore
Esplanade Concert Hall l $40-128 from Sistic

Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson goes by the stage name of Lykke Li which is easier on the ear. But the 25-years-old Swedish indie pop sensation has always been easy on the ear with her distinctive melodious and child-like vocal prowess. A mash of Adele, Florence Welch and occasionally up in Janis Joplin’s alley, the singer-songwriter blend of indie rock layered through electronica sensibilities has gotten her heavy appraisals especially after her 2008 debut album Youth Novels and the recent Wounded Rhymes.
