First Anniversary

Today is a special post just for the one and only.... The Sam Willows! xx Exactly a year ago, 13 August 2014, I got to know this amazing band - The Sam Willows , members are siblings Narelle Kheng and Benjamin Kheng as well as friends Jonathan Chua and Sandra Riley Tang. Last year they were up for the MTVEMAs and Radio DJs were tweeting and rallying the support for them. Being the curious me, I checked them out on Youtube and I got HOOKED to their original Glasshouse. After which I tweeted 300 tweets #MTVEMAs #NominateTheSamWillows (no joke). I have met these lovely and talented bunch so many times and my obsession over them and the photos I have with them, people don't believe I've only known them for a year. Though at some events I don't get a chance to take photos with them but it is really heart warming to even receive a hi from these guys. They are the funniest, quirkiest, loveliest and nicest people I know. They released their first EP way back in October 2012. They had the chance to meet Steve Lillywhite and added a new twist to their single Glasshouse with a Lillywhite Edition. This year they released new single Take Heart in May and will be releasing more singles leading up to their album launch in September (half of which was recorded in Sweden). They also have a concert coming up at the end of this year! WOOHOO!
