AIRTIGHT NOISE
When Chin Yew and Andy Chow were kids, they dream of being rock stars after seeing their rock hero Kurt Cobain swinging crazily on stage. They weren’t musically talented enough to cover songs of their favorite bands, but not giving up they randomly made up their own songs just to get a taste of being in a band. With only Yew on guitar and Andy on drums, they made a couple of home-recordings and shared it among friends.
A fateful meeting with Yin Pin from Amid The Mimic sowed the seeds for the current sounds of Airtight Noise. A chance trading of musical taste lead Yew and Andy to discovering bands that eventually would shape their musical adventure from there onwards – bands such as Slint, Fugazi, Chavez and Galaxie 500.
After tagging along with Amid The Mimic for some of their jamming sessions and gigs, Chin Yew said to Andy, “I think we can do it too.” Thus, Airtight Noise was born.
And since then, Airtight Noise have always been a random line-up of people with a commitment for least one performance a year, but striving to exist forever. It has been 10 years now. Truly a labour of love rather then just a statement of cool, Airtight Noise plays a brand of music driven by improvisation

So long ago I was in a band called Airtight Noise. Sigh. Andy where are you? We are going back!
