Sadness in Singapore...
Lush99.5
Lush 99.5FM will be stopping transmission on 31st August at 1159pm after 13 years. Whilst we have built a loyal core of followers, the listeners, who are supporters of local music, we have not managed to grow the base of listeners enough to sustain the operating costs of the station. But we are as passionate as you are about local music so we have put in place the Singapore Sounds project, which will feature local music, artists and gigs on other music stations, 987 and 938LIVE, as well as on 8days.sg. We hope you'll continue to show your support for the cause through these channels. In true form we'll be celebrating all things local in the month of August so keep your ears and eyes peeled.

After the highs of Baybeats 2017, this news comes crashing down hard on all of us in the band.
Lush99.5 and the team means a lot to us. They've supported us from our early days, played our songs when no other radio station would, debuted our A-Hole music video, pimped us as artist of the month for May ahead of our album launch and even hooked us up with their radio contacts in Japan.
They've been super kind and generous to us and so many within this wonderful independent scene. They've done so many novel ways of giving back to the community and one of the biggest champions of local arts and culture. This news really, really sucks.
Our heart goes out to everyone at Lush99.5. You guys have played a huge part in this current wave of interest in our local music scene, and now it's up to all of us to rally on and keep proving our worth so these big wigs get it inside their heads that we will never be defeated.
Thank you Lush99.5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
