Switchfoot Singapore Promo Clip Apri 28, 2011

Here is a promotional video for the upcoming Hello Hurricane Tour in Singapore. Thanks to monsoonmanagement for uploading this video in Youtube. Get ready to sing a long with their current hit singles like "Mess of Me", "Your Love is a Song", "Awakening", and some classic and timeless hits like "Only Hope", "Meant to Live", "Dare you to Move", "Stars" and more for sure. My blood pumped up some adrenaline seeing this really nice video. Get my blood pumped up even more as they sings songs that empower life and breathe some power to the passion that's been lodged within.  Singapore has been a place where a lot of Christian artists hold their concerts so better get ready for Christian rocking concert. No need to worry

SWITCHFOOT BALUT CHALLENGE 2007

Will this challenge happen ever again when they come back on their Hurricane Tour this April? I just wonder how it scared the hell out of the guys. I think this was Jerome's idea or a fan's idea.

Switchfoot vocalist Jon Foreman says here "I don't think I'll ever eat it [balut] again. I just gotta be honest but I'm glad I had shared this intimate experience with all of you." It was also confirmed when my girlfriend chatted with them in a meet-and-greet before their concert in the UK. One of the band members mentioned that it was one scary experience. But surely it had made their Philippine based fans enjoy the concert even more. What a challenging to connect with their fans and audience. Question is would be another challenge Switchfoot will face when they return on their Hurricane Tour in Manila. And what challenge does Singapore has for the Grammy-award winning band this April 28th.

Say Hello Hurricane Challenges!!!

HOW I KNEW ABOUT SWITCHFOOT

I first knew Switchfoot when I saw the music video of their song “New Way to be Human” at a Christian Music TV channel when I was still in college. That was way back year 2002. There were just the three of them that time – Jon Foreman, Tim Foreman and Chad. The young Jon Foreman, sporting a short hair and some mustache, giving a teenage smile that is so innocent looking, never looked like a rockstar at all. Haha.

But that video that time actually did not interest me at all. And there came Mandy Moore with the hit song “Only Hope” from the OST of the movie “A Walk to Remember”. And have to admit to have watched that movie, unaware that it was an original song from the Switchfoot. I was also unaware that Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman sang duet with Mandy Moore in the song “Someday We’ll Know” that I just was hearing on the radio. When I watched that movie, I heard Jars of Clay’s hit song Flood. And I have been a Jars of Clay fan and that prompted me to buy the OST of that movie. One other thing that prompted me to buy the OST is because I hear on the radio this “Only Hope” being sung by a very interesting raspy voice with some appealing guitar plucking. And love to play the guitar, baby. But I was still unaware of this Switchfoot original until I bought the OST. And there you go, found out good good good songs from Switchfoot – “Dare You to Move”, “You,” and there I’ve found “Only Hope” to be originally by Siwtchfoot. And also remembered this was the Christian band I saw a few years back in that Christian Music Channel. Now their songs impressed me and got hooked with their other tunes like “Learning to Breathe”, “Meant to Live,” “Stars”, “This is Your Life”, Shadow Proves the Sunshine,” and the list goes on.
