ANNOUNCEMENT - As of January 2006
|
Skritch would like to thank our fans, friends and families for all their support over the past 8 years. It's been one heck of a wild roller-coaster ride, and we couldn't have done it without you. However, due to the unpredictable nature of our individual pursuits, and the fact that most of us are currently spread out over the four corners of the globe, it is with the deepest regret to the aforementioned people, as well as the Singaporean a cappella scene in general, that we have to inform you that Skritch has collectively decided to become indefinitely dormant from this point forth.
Once again, thank you very much to all our supporters and fans. Over the years, we have recorded albums and single CDs, released music videos, won awards, performed for the President, shared the stage alongside many music superstars, represented the nation and the entire continent of Asia at overseas music festivals and brought our brand of pop-rock, hip-hop music—featuring our signature original tunes, show-stopping choreograpy, unbelievable beatboxing and monster rock and rap solos—to screaming audiences all over the world. Throughout this time, we have been fully aware that none of this could have been possible without you, and for that, we thank you. We are nothing without you.
With all our love,
- Pete, Tim, Bryan, Mike, Jin & Dolf

The California-based contingent of Skritch celebrates Singapore's birthday with an informal performance at the San Francisco Bay Area Singapore National Day Carnival 2006 (Redwood City, California). With a crowd of 500 Singaporean expatriates cheering them on, Bryan, Jin and Mike make it an afternoon to remember, as they come together onstage for the first time in more than a year to sing a short set of crowd-pleasers, culminating in Skritch favourite Irish Blessing.

Bryan is making waves in the U.S. collegiate a cappella scene with his group The Stanford Harmonics. He has just been nominated in the "Best Soloist" category at the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARA) 2006 for his lead vocals on the song The Memory Remains off the Harmonics' album Shadowplay. The CARAs are the a cappella equivalent of the Grammy Awards, and he is the first Singaporean to be nominated in an individual vocal performance category. In addition, his song The Memory Remains has been selected for inclusion in the Best of Collegiate A Cappella (BOCA) 2006 album, an annual compilation of the best college a cappella tracks from around the world! Again, he is the first Singaporean soloist to be bestowed the latter honour. Congratulations from the Boys of Skritch! The Stanford Harmonics website, where Shadowplay can be purchased, can be accessed here. BOCA 2006 can be purchased from a-cappella.com.
Bryan sings lead vocals with The Stanford Harmonics, his internationally renowned university a cappella group.

The legendary Housejacks perform in Singapore, and Peter is invited to open the show - an invitation he does justice to with a virtuoso display of individual beatboxing. The Housejacks are one of the most famed vocal bands in the world, and they are one of Skritch's major musical influences.

Skritch is one of the headliners at the closing show of CASA's East Coast A Cappella Summit, Boston, U.S.A. Representing not only Singapore but also the entire continent of Asia, the Boys rocked the house down to rave reviews. In addition, Peter was invited to sit on the "vocal percussion workshop panel," comprising some of the biggest names in mouthdrumming and beatboxing from around the world. The boys held their own amongst the likes of Ball in the House, Blue Jupiter, Minimum Wage and Vocal Spectrum, and proved great ambassadors for Asian a cappella.
