okelah. Must be grateful!!

Pls don't mind the unaligned paragraphs kay. Still getting the hang of this bloggerdroid thing

Last week me and Bruy--bassist here at dog-eating place met a couple of guys who run 4-wheeled bike rental place. They wanted to build a blues community but due to less demand, they decided to have an acoustic jamming session every satnite at that place instead. We were introduced to him by our drummer. So Bruy and I played just now :)

Just a normal "whatever u wanna play" kind of session, very flexible, and light. Sometimes we play, sometimes they play. Pretty fun even with humble sound system. Lots of people passed by, and stopped by for the ride, and while they are queueing they may enjoy the music.

The guys are just desperate to play, and according to them, this session was created for people with the same desire. So this is the platform, and hopefully it'll grow bigger, with better equipments and more people to come and play.

Humble beginning which marked a whole new chapter of my gig life.

Ahhh. Thank God~

now here comes the big ending

no. no. I'm not closing this blog.

I got a gig with the escapes back in October 1st and this was the last gig for me here in chicken rice town. Yeah cuz i have graduated and now i'm back at dog eating place. Not-so Happy 1month-since-my-last-gig Anniversary!

 

The gig was a mixture of art (Photohraphy and paintings), film, and music festival. Lots of artist from other countries. There were lots of foreigners there that i felt like i was in another country. Outnumbered. Like we came all the way from asia to perform hahahhah

This was by far the coolest gig i have ever played at. Well the crowd weren't really hyped up cuz it was sunset when we played and moreover the booze weren't out yet hahhah. But as the night went on, damn. There was this electro band which was really cool. They are called 'Like Silver'. I am not really a fan of those kind of music but these fellas got me as well as everybody else.

That shirtless dude on top were singing like 'aaaaaaaaaarrrgghhh gyaaaaaaarrrgghh' and went 'grroooooooooohhhhh' on the chorus when they played earlier on. Pretty wicked. But later on, he joined the crowd 'shakin-that-thang' along with the thumping beats from the electro fellas. The organizer did a splendid job. Hat's off. The performers were varied from alternative, rock, grindcore, erotic-grotesque, c-pop, laptronica, club music, etc. Not to mention free Nasi Lemak for the performers!Oh! One of the artist made us a logo as well :D 

Oh btw, we were the first to perform, and we asked Reno to sub for bass for KeeMO. There was a minor accident when we played 'I do'. The screw for the strap in Jlt's guitar got loose so the guitar fell off him when we enter the instrumental part!!! So he played it like a cello haahah! Thank God there was a score stand down the stage right in front of him that he could place his feet there and support the guitar. Damn. But then Reno had to sit down and play afterwards.  The sound crew were damn efficient. Verry helpful as well. This time i got to learn that i should trust the sound engineers. During the event i couldn't hear myself clearly even from the monitors.. At first the PA guy asked me to max my volume so i just trusted him and i didn't tweak a thing on the keyboard like i normally do. The sound turned out well when i watched the video. Obviously i don' t have extra travelling ears to hear from off the stage so there's nothing much i can do other than to trust them. When we got to play KeeMO as our last song, damn. It became emotional to me as i sang the last 1/2 Eight. Like i'm singing it to myself as i go back to the dog-eating place and move on with my life. Let's not discuss the specific "whys", kay? Oh! It also felt like i am singing that part to the fellas, i was wishing that they would continue making music and perform no matter what because they were all so good and passionate at what they do.
