NEWS: 讨闹派RazzlePlay debut album now available @ Gramophone!
and also available online @ www.razzleplay.com!
讨闹派 (in hokkien dialect meaning Crazy) a.k.a. RazzlePlay is form by five crazy people... Just kidding!
Formed in late 2007, RazzlePlay is made up of Siling (vocal), Vincent (guitar), Simin (guitar), Sean (bass) and Vics (drum). The band started out with the dream of their band leader, Vincent. Inspired by his guitar influences, Vincent had always wanted to form a band. After fruitless attempts to form the group, he met Simin at work and came to realize the same vision. The baton of the search for the rest of the band members was then passed on to Simin, when she looked for her vocalist friend, Siling whom she performed with a few years ago at Ark Café. During these time, Vincent found Sean through a music forum. The search for drummer was not easy. With the initial intention of helping out his brother, Vics stood in for the first few jamming session. The chemistry that they had during these jamming was what made Vics decided to join in the fun as the band drummer. With the last piece of the puzzle found, RazzlePlay was formed.
RazzlePlay means noisy fun! The name briefly describes the band music genre yet the approach towards their music is never taken lightly. After performing in various gigs at different locations, the Band decided its time to launch their first Single '隐形翅膀'in April 2008. Having received very good comments from friends and fans after the launch of the Single, they felt its time to produce their first album.
The debut album '讨闹派', launched early Febuary 2009 is the dream of RazzlePlay. Carrying with it, the words and music that they wish to spread to their audience. 'Live the Dream'.
