Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out

ByVanessa Tan

We had a decent practice session this evening. Here’s our ‘exercise’ song. It’s meant to get the band in sync with each other. We used the catchy bassline from Freak Power’s Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out. One of my favourite acid jazz songs.

With every round, we had to go faster and faster! You’ll hear our teacher’s voice, urging us on until we sounded like a hardcore rock band. We had no score – just the bassline.
Nicol on synths/organs, me on piano/electric piano, Richard on bass, and our newest member Justin on drums. (Side note: I think most, if not all of us, play in our respective church bands.)

    I went to the Bebel Gilberto concert with the Bristol gang. After filling my ears with studio-quality recordings in the office (playing her two albums), I was slightly disappointed to hear the real thing. Bebel and her band were not entirely synchronised in the first few songs. Bebel’s pitch was a little off and there…
