   About highrise

Every story has a tune. From it, the music of highrise springs to life - capturing moments of joy, sorrow, hope, fear, love and loss that people feel or fantasize about - into a melodic piece of music. highrise songs are also reflections of an ever-evolving society that is moving so fast into a mechanical realm; in which technology gets mightier while the hearts of people get smaller.

We hope our music stirs emotions and makes people realise how to feel again because thats what makes us all humans.

    Salad Days





    Jul 2 2008 6:53 AM



    HEY EVERYONE, Team Salad Days and *scape are bringing to you a gig (part of the Confessions series) on the 11th of July, Friday!!!

    Armchair Critic and Backbeat were selected after grueling rounds of auditions, so be sure to come down and support them. If you are a fan of Giants Must Fall, Anna Judge April, or Lunar Node (or all 3), this is a great chance to catch all of them in action!

    Tickets can be bought at the door for $5. Also, make sure to check out our shirt and EP (proceeds go to Boys' Town and *scape Co. Ltd.)!

    If you want to pre-order shirts or have any other enquiries, feel free to email us at team.saladdays@gmail.com!

    See you there! BE THERE OR BE SQUARE (we'll sing the vegetables song for you)
