"Home" Music Video Official Launch! - 21.01.09
Home Music Video

After a long delay in the post-production stage (a lot of re-mixing and re-editing) the highly anticipated music video is finally here!
Today we officially launched our first music video, "Home"! Semiquaver, Felix, and our friends at Kerudung Hitam Productions have been working very hard for this video, and we are very proud of our work!

Some of you might wonder why Charles, our current drummer, isn't in the video. The answer is that the video was actually produced and shot before Charles joined the band, which is why Felix, our first drummer, filled in for the music video.

Stace also specifically redesigned the whole website to promote the video, so please feel free to look around and check out our new website! Don't forget to fill in our new guestbook, and help us to promote the video to your friends!

And also don't forget to check out our behind-the-scenes video as well!

Pesta Kampung 2008

Semiquaver will be performing at Pesta Kampung, 16th August 2008 at the UTS, along with Kuta Groove, Akademic Misconduct, Flavi, Leroy, Plan of Eden, & Castle on Fire. Semiquaver is going to open the event at 10:25am, so don't be late! This will also be our first performance with our latest line-up; with Charles on drums (welcome aboard, bro!). Charles is Stace's classmate who came from Hong Kong, and after a group presentation they somehow talked about playing music, and so he's in!
Also, Baim from The Half Educated will be our additional bassist! Don't miss it!

"Home" music video shoot - 31.05.08
"Home" music video shoot

The video shoot goes extremely well without any major problems, and the originally two-days shoot schedule were finished in one day only! We are very amazed by the professionalism of our friends from Kerudung Hitam Productions, and all of us are having a very good time shooting the video, with never-ending jokes and laughs on the sets. Surrounded by our friends who are pretty much musical people, the sets are always filled with everyone who played whatever instruments available on the shooting locations.

We prepared everything from 8am in the the morning until the last cut somewhere around 9.30pm, and all of us are pretty much exhausted, but with a smile on our faces. Even when tired, it doesn't stop Stace, Jonny, Henry & Indra (Semiquaver's ex-keyboardist from our first line-up who visited the last set to see our video shoot process) to go straight to Star City Casino that night; And the ones who spent their money there actually bring more on their way home. It's a good day afterall! Thanks, God!

We would also like to say thanks to Ryan for the video and lighting equipments, CoFA's security guard who provides the studio room for us, Angel for the documentary photos, Baim (from the band The Half Educated, and also the director of Akademic Misconduct's music video "Berganti", and RaynCo's music video "That's Love") and Andrew (known as the actor from the indie movie "Under The Same Sky") for their help on the sets, and also Evie for her fresh baked cookies that were stolen by the crew.

Photos of the video shoot are available in the photos section.

And here comes the post-production stage...Please be patient, guys! This gonna take a while..

Indonesian Night Market 2008 - 13.05.08

Get ready for INM08! - 08.05.08
Waroeng Podjok

Semiquaver will perform in Indonesian Night Market 2008, 13 May, at UNSW Beer Garden - FREE ENTRY! We will perform at 4.20pm. Because one and other reasons, we are unable to play as a full band, and so Stace and Jonny will play acoustic for the event. We will also be joined by Angel (Henry's girlfriend) as an additional keyboardist, since Henry himself can't attend because he got an exam on that date & time.

*Indonesian Night Market 2008: Waroeng Podjok's poster is designed by Semiquaver's vocalist Stace, specifically for the PPIA.

The third year of our band - 16.04.08

We've been through a lot, but we keep on going! Today we start our third year as a band, and we want to say thanks to everyone for helping and supporting us all this time! Cheers!


The "Home" music video project (Part 2) - 14. 04.08

After calling our friend Enrico (from the bands Fuchsia, Khuruksetra, Kalimayat, & Postpop among others), we got a positive reply from Kerudung Hitam Productions' movie director and our friend Danif (from the noise groups Kalimayat & Khuruksetra).

Being a movie director, Danif is also known in the music community as one of the leading figures of noise music, having been covered by MTV for his Kalimayat project (Adrian, our ex-bassist, is actually a big fan of him). Danif will be directing our "Home" music video, with Enrico and Andreas from Kerudung Hitam Productions.

The "Home" music video project (Part 1) - 09.04.08

Out of nowhere, Stace got a call from Felix (our first and original drummer), as he offers Semiquaver an opportunity to make a music video for some project. Naturally we accept it (of course!), and Felix himself will fill in as our additional drummer for this occasion, while Henry will put his guitar aside for a while and play bass for the video since we haven't got a bass player yet.

We agreed that we will make a music video for our song "Home", and we will re-record the song specifically for the video. "Home" is one of Semiquaver's very first songs, and it was the first song we recorded a demo of, and is usually the first song to be played in our rehearsals. And so, the song is chosen to be in our first music video! The song will be produced and mixed by Felix himself.

Felix, Stace, & Henry also discussed their ideas of the scenes and locations for the video, while Stace wrote the script and concepts of the music video to be connected with the concept of the song itself.

New guitarist in the family: Henry - 18.03.08

After being a duo for a while, Semiquaver's founding members Stace and Jonny finally joined by Henry. Henry is actually a friend of Robin and Adrian's (our previous drummer and bassist, respectively), and therefore he's always been there in our social circle - and now he officialy joins Semiquaver as our new guitarist. Welcome, Henry!

Adrian: Goodbye Sydney - 30.07.07
Stace & Adrian

And now another member of the band, Adrian, also goes back to his hometown since his study in Sydney is over. Being one of the original members of the band, Adrian has always been together with us since the very beginning; playing, making music, hanging out and joking together with us since day one. We wish you the best for your plans on making an indie music store there at your place, man...and thanks a lot for everything!

The Robin flies away - 05.07.07
Robin, Stace, & Jonny

Today our drummer and best friend Robin flies back to his hometown (he'll go to China later on for his studies), and therefore leaving Semiquaver behind to pursue his own future. Thanks a lot for everything 'Bin, to be there when we need you, and being a part of the Semiquaver family. We'll miss rocking out the garage together with you. Good luck, bro!

Robin is actually one of our friends from a long time ago, and some of the band members just happened to hang out together for a drink in a bar with him a few days ago where we to talked about music and stuff.

Noticing our ads for a drummer, he quickly called to join us, which of course we're more than happy to have him as our new drummer! Welcome to the family, man!


DRUMMER WANTED! - 16.06.06

As you can see from the latest news below, our drummer Felix has just resigned to pursue other projects. That means: we're currently looking for a drummer!

+ Could play drums (style: brit / alternative / pop / rock - skill doesn't matter)
+ Located in Sydney
+ Possess the heart to appreciate music
+ Own a drum kit
+ Location: the nearer to eastern suburbs, the better.

The next two requirements would be huge advantages, but not essential:
+ Own a transport (for the drums)
+ Have a practice place (garage or whatever)

If you are - or if you know someone who could meet the requirements stated above, don't hesitate to contact us at semiquaver_band [at] yahoo [dot] com !

Felix - 16.06.06

Last night, our drummer Felix has decided to resign from his position as Semiquaver's drummer to pursue other projects. There's nothing bad happened between us, no hard feelings, and we're still good friends with him. We talked about it, and it's just seems like the best way for both him and Semiquaver to focus on our own future and dreams from now on. We want to say thanks a lot to Felix, without him we won't be where we are right now. All the fun times we go through, the friendship, and the memories - they're all priceless. Thanks a lot for your help bro, we're looking forward to play with you again someday. We wish you the best for everything, and God bless.
