The Freshly Squeezed Sounds story…

“It started with a sound, one which resonated throughout the rowdy crowd and rendered it silent. Live Lounge Bkk had only recently been born, and on this one fateful evening in September 2016 the weekly open mic night had just begun.

Amidst the audience, a boy with ripped jeans and floppy blonde hair leapt off his chair unannounced and asked to play a song, we didn’t know who he was, but there was a strange air of expectation when our host announced that: “In the spirit of Open Mic, we are making room for a surprise performance, so please welcome…”. He got onto the stage, borrowed a guitar, and with an glint in his eye began to strum a melody There was silence, and all eyes had turned to the stage.

Then out of nowhere came his voice, high-pitched, wrought with the agony which inspired the love song he was singing. For three minutes he held the audience captive with his effortless brilliance, a feeling that resonated with all in attendance. The crowd erupted at the end of this song and gave him a standing ovation. The magic of live performance had been truly captured in that moment and the spine-tingling atmosphere was felt by all. This was a venue made for Live Performance.

From this moment, Freshly Squeezed Sounds was born – and a commitment was made to build a platform for original music and showcase the extraordinary talents of South-east Asia’s emerging arts scene.”

[ Kingkong and the Chum]

Kingkong and The Chum first performed at Live Lounge back in March, a performance that was particularly memorable for the heart warming collaboration that ensued when they invited Live Lounge resident Thatsapol Khudemo a.k.a The Professor to join them on stage for a seminal reworking of their classic “Planet of the Apes”
“Chum” (Jittanit Bhanichvit) on Vocal & Keyboard + “Kingkong” (Sukrite Suwan) on Vocal & Guitar met at Stu-Fe’ Pub and Sound Studio in Bangkok, THAILAND which was held by an independent artist group called, Monotone Music Production.
After several compilation albums and performances at music festivals in Thailand, Kingkong and
Chum decided to gather a band called, Kingkong and the Chum. In 2014, 2 years after the band was
held, they released a non-labeled extended play album. The first single is called “A Day Goes By”. It
was a whole heartedly self-made album, from music & lyrics to music video. The band hopes to
spread songs that can bring joyful atmosphere and delighted moment to listeners. ☺
In March 2015, “Kingkong and the Chum” was chosen as a representative of THAILAND to attend
HONG KONG ASIAN POP MUSIC FESTIVAL. They started performing gigs around Bangkok with their
original songs. Later in December 2015, they were chosen to perform in INTERMISSION session at
WONDERFRUIT FESTIVAL where they got to work with HOWIE B. who has worked with artists
including: Björk,U2, Robbie Robertson, Elisa, Tricky, Mukul Deora and The Gift.
Along with Gypsy Carnival by Khun Sukie Sukosol Clapp where the band were chosen to perform as
one of the Bedroom Artist session in February 2016.
“Kingkong & the Chum” had opportunity to perform in CHINA twice. The first time in April 2016,
Kingkong and the Chum were to join Trio Festival at Morning House in Chengdu and exclusive live
show at NUTS music live house in Chongqing. And the second time in May 2016 at Old town in
Lijiang.
With all experiences Kingkong and the Chum gathered, they are now ready to make a full duo album
which will be kindly produced by Howie B.

จากการทำงานร่วมกันหลายอัลบั้มกับกลุ่มศิลปินวงโมโนโทน
คิงคองและน้ำเชื่อมได้ก่อตั้งวงดนตรีอิสระภายใต้ฃื่อ “Kingkong and the Chum”
ผลงานแรกของวงคือเพลง A Day Goes By เมื่อเดือนมกราคม พ.ศ. 2557
และได้บันทึกเสียงในรูปแบบมินิอัลบั้มชื่อ Extended Play 2014 ในปีเดียวกัน
ด้วยความตั้งใจที่จะผลิตผลงานแบบเรียบง่ายและเป็นตัวเอง
เนื้อหาของเพลงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับธรรมชาติและการใช้ชีวิต
เป็นอีกทางเลือกในการฟังดนตรีที่ทางวงมีความภูมิใจอย่างยิ่งที่จะนำเสนอ

Kong Asian Pop Music Festival ณ ประเทศฮ่องกง และในเดือนธันวาคมปีเดียวกัน

[ Sao MoonlightGypsy]

Sao first arrived at Live Lounge back in May and in addition to a truly breathtaking performance, the occasion stands out because of the love and support she and her band showed the other musicians that night.

Sao is a Thai indie-folk singer, songwriter and guitarist who claims her goal is to communicate her feelings and mindset through the music she makes. "I fell in love with gypsy-boho style, nature, moon and stars. Also Wanderlust. They inspired me to write my songs"
Her music is highly evocative, drawing inspiration from the bands such as The Staves, The Oh hello's, Zee Avi, Damien Rice, Of Monster and Men and Kodaline- to name but a few.

Her band includes 3 other talented musicians:

* Oh – Guitar, Ukulele, Sub vocals
* Jued - Violin, Mandolin
* Kim - Bass guitar

ยิปซี ศิลปะ อิสระ และธรรมชาติ
มีความสุขที่ได้ทำสิ่งที่รัก และจะทำต่อไปไม่มีวันหยุดค่ะ...
ดนตรีสบายๆ แล้วแต่ความรู้สึกจะพาไป : แม่มด ดวงจันทร์ เจ้าแม่ ยิปซี ความฝัน ดวงดาวและดอกไม้...

ขอบคุณทุกคน ที่ให้การสนับสนุนพวกเรานะค

[ Valerie Joyce and the Rising Sons]

Valerie Joyce and the Rising Sons is a band fronted by California singer-songwriter (Valerie Joyce) whose influences range in the sphere of Americana country, folk music and art rock. Her songs touch on themes of isolation, as well as the illusory and captivating sensations of love.

With influences that range from classics such as Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Velvet Underground, Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, and Patsy Cline- you can expect a progressive sound that is at the same time tinged with a peculiar sense of familiarity.

Valerie and her band currently reside in Bangkok and are well established on the local music scene, having performed at a variety of venues with both local and international talent.
