Saywhale is the brainchild of Yazid and Zakie. It was a project in which they had close friends from other bands to partake in. The original line-up for Saywhale 2006 consisted of Yazid and Zakie from Fatskunks, Brian Kyle from Glitched, Hirzat from Project Liquid and well, our current drummer Ajut who was from Kaleidoscopicuriousity and Qinobi. The aim? Singapore Battle of the Bands 2006.
The band did great through the rounds. They were up against many, many good bands. The energy on stage that Saywhale had was, to say the least, quite different. Here's a lil peak into what they were doing well in.
Brian provided some of the most eclectic dance moves ever seen in metal. Ijat delivered his fiery firebranding rap as usual and you can see they had fun on stage. This was metal without all its stereotypical seriousness and brutality of sorts. That was evident in all of their shows. In accordance to their moniker, this was a band that wasn't afraid to laugh and be laughed at. This is Saywhale.
Seen the video above? That was the grand finals for the mentioned competition. They won the grand prize. The song performed was to be one of Saywhale's most recognised ditty in every gig and has been for the past 3 years.
This here is Saywhale in action at Rockin Resolutions 2006/2007.
Alas, in mid 2007, Brian had to leave Singapore for further studies in the United States leaving Saywhale without a vocalist. So they asked me to help out for their next conquest, Yamaha Asian Beats 2007. In the words of Brian Regan, and I am being lazy here, one thing led to another...
We won the finals in Singapore. In which, Saywhale would go on to represent Singapore in the Grand Finals at Taiwan the following year. No we didn't win the grand finals but hey, a free trip to Taiwan for 3 days and 2 nights. Everything paid for. What more can we ask eh? :)
