凉茶乐队 Cool Tea Band

A four-piece from Geylang who met at a hawker-centre open mic and play sunny, singalong folk-pop about iced drinks, bus rides and tiny joys. Their live shows are loud with group choruses.

Their story

The four members met in 2023 at a Geylang open-mic night when their sets ran back-to-back and they ended up jamming together afterwards. They busked at hawker centres and neighbourhood fairs, then self-released the EP 'Teh C Siew Dai' in 2024. A growing local following has made them one of the label's liveliest rising acts.
