More about IDS...members...part2

Lead Guitarist-Mohamad Johan

A tall, dark and handsome guy. Doesn't really have a good voice, but he's a natural in playing the guitar. Needs some practice though. Tends to make small mistakes, which will lead to bigger mistakes in the future if he doesn't practice more. Maybe will regain his preferred position as a rhythm guitarist if we managed to find a drummer.

Drummer-Tan Han Yun

Our star 'player'. He's a master in guitar. Tends to get hyper after holding a guitar(never let go of it, never stop playing it etc.) Overall a great member. A little word fom him { HanYun: Btw, i would like to confess that i am not a master of guitar. I can't play crazy stuff like Si Khay(kaki dilemma) did. If i'm appointed as master, what will he be? Masmasmaster?! Lol. Anyway, i have this gifted ability- perfect pitch(our vocalist Hong Koon have good hearing too), which means good hearing. Wanna know more about me? make friends with me. :) }

Manager, founder and pianist-Gareth Tan Wei Yang

Er...dun nid to know about me..I formed this band..managed them..(but sometimes they will manage themselves), and pianist...thats all...:)

More about IDS...members...

About our members. We have 5 currently and we are looking for a loyal drummer that will stay with us till the end.

Original positions: Hong Koon(Lead vocalist), Kenzo(Bass),Johan(Rhythm guitarist),Han Yun(Lead guitarist),Deryk(Former drummer)

Current positions:

Rhythm guitarist/Lead vocalist-Lim Hong Koon

A lengzai guy with a lot of freckles on his face. He is very good in Maths, with the exception of Add maths. Tends to sing in class, so we recruited him. Has a nice voice but can't really sing high-pitched songs. His advantage is that he can sing and play at the same time.


Bass Guitarist- Kenzo Yeo Jie Hng

Guy wearing glasses and looked nerdy, but actually he's not. Believe it, he has a girlfriend. He has a passion to musical instruments and knows how to play the guitar and piano. His studies aren't that good, but in future he'll be a famous musician....He certainly hopes so.

I'll update more in the future..stay tuned!

IU Day

Sorry for posting this late guys. I didn't have the time to update this blog. Btw, I, Gareth Tan will be included in the job of updating this blog..Well, last Saturday, we had Leo IU Day, and we are supposed to perform. All of us, excluding me, were damn nervous before the performance. I won't be performing, as I missed too much studio meetings with them, so I didn't have much time to practice. Well, I was kinda sad...but I'll be performing at Interact IU, and so on..so..yeah. Anyway, we played two songs, which were Song 2 and Island in the sun. Well, we kinda screwed up Song 2, as Johan's guitar cable had a problem. It's not his fault btw. As he is the lead guitarist, the song became kinda empty till the end. So, we screwd that song. But, on the bright side, Island in the sun was damn perfect, even the guitar solo from Hong Koon was a replica to the real song. It was perfect! But, the downside was, the crowd wanted Ooi Giap's band, 'KakiDilemma' to perform an encore, and they didn't ask us...That is so unfair..but we didn't complain, because their band were far better than us..but I trust we can do better in the future! Now, let's concentrate on our mid-term exam, before we practice fully for the upcoming Interact IU!!!

About us

Ivory Dream School...ah yes, another band name without a meaning( just like Blink 182, Finger Eleven etc.) Well, we might not be famous rock stars YET, but hey,every band has its day( or is it dog..?) and our day will come. We even have our own ritual: eating cendol or rojak before jamming. It's for the sake of........hmm.......luck? This "ritual" seems to backfire though, like that time Johan ate cendol and rojak before practicing and end up getting scolded by Han Yun because he couldn't play well, and he blames the cendol for making his fingers sticky = = Anyways, we (really)x4 appreciate it if we obtain support, especially from our classmates. Our band is still new, so we can be considered as amatuers for the time being. All we need is imagination, and the utmost faith among the band members and our supporters. Lastly, Fenderick if you're reading this stop giving us names based on the initials like I Damn Suck. Fyi, IDS is short for Ivory Dream School.

Ivory Dream School

Ivory Dream School. An awesome name created by Kenzo. I know, some people may have various negative comments on this name (e.g: GAY, LAME), but as long as we like it, we don't care. Hope that no one make a fool or insult this freakin awesome band name. Despite our freakin poor studies, staying in this country, SHORT of SUPPORT, but the spirit and passion inside us makes a great difference! Nothing can stop us from our wildness and hyperactiveness!! Music is our soul! Try to imagine if the world we live on is a total, absolute silence; people living with cold expressions every day every minute and every single second, man i think life like this is no difference than death. Go, Ivory Dream School!!! Show everyone that we are unique! Even though we can't compare to great bands such as We The Kings, Linkin park, boys like girls, Dragonforce, All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41 etc etc....... But we have our own style. We can be different. Everyone is different. Everone is unique. Somedays, well, this band will become the best.
