the butter and frens gig was held yesterday .. it was good. the sound was good. almost perfect. maybe since it was held at zouk and sponsored by many. especial bimbit.com. wtf? never heard of bimbit. maybe they are starting to mark their presence by sponsoring the gig.
i wonder who won the voting thingy.
anyway ... the gig went rather well ... except for the sheer coldness. it was freezing inside. i didn't even shed a sweat.
18sgg was first to perform ... i was late and they were performing. didn't hear much .. can't concentrate on the songs their playing.
next up was prana ... well .. i'm not a fan of reggae and their song was almost all the same to me .. was amazed by thier bassist who i think had pretty flexible fingers .. and fast i might add ...
their lead vocalist was ha tau. ha tau meant rock on in phillipines ...
even if he punk'd us .. we'll never know ...
scts was on after prana ... and the first song was enough to get my attention ... it was renaldo moon.... it was so .. good ... and i also like drones ... the rest was allright ... oh yeah .. i only learned the title of the songs courtesy of jasmine ...tq 4 da mp3 ...
scts were tight like anna kournikova's spandex .. good band ... very good ...
their singer also told a very amusing story before playing this one song ... it was about how he lost his backpack in the mountains and how he lost his identity or some shit like that ... anyway ... its good to see the band trying to be a little friendly towards the crowd ... being personal and shit ..good try ,.. it only manage to get the two bozo hosts from fly.fm to make fun of the story by telling their own losing an identity story ,,,
lmb was next ... i started to venture into the crowd / moshpit by the time freefall was on .... butter is next anyway and i wanted to get a good view of them ... and my back was limiting my action .. so i just push oncoming bodies ... head bang a little .. i pushed bosol who was also there in the crowd... so he also got involved into the kicking and pushing ... it was fun ...
anyway .. their new songs ... like prana ....was almost all the same .. i only recognize hollywood holiday and this other song since i heard it so many time .. live lah ... sharul was a true rockstar ... wing meng .... really put on a good show ... even tho it was very emo ... i didn't start crying or anything ...
you know a band did well in a gig when you can remeber what the band did.. sang...performed ...the next day ...
and i always remember a butterfingers performance ...
loque really looks like shit ... he looks like he lost a lot of money and became an alcoholic ... his beard was wild and out of control ... he was covered in cellulite ... but there was no questioning his rocking that night ...
emmet on the other hand... was the opposite ... he was charming and clean cut... ... and he bodysurfed that night ... emmet is a big boy i tell you .... he's heavy ... both of emet and loq combined after two years missing ...and they were awesome ... singging along with them was great ...
kadak maintained his chubby figure ... he was quiet ... but still rock ...
loko ... man .. was he loco .. he whacked the drums and cymbals silly ... he beat them to death ... ... during 1.2mg kalai was playing and i wonder if loko could be as good as him playing old butter songs ... and loko proved to be as good as kalai.... if not ....better ...
can't wait for next week .. i was hoping they play some selamat tinggal dunia songs ... but .. its allright ... they still rock ...
...... new bands these days .. cannot perform .. some have good songs ... but cannot perform .. ..some can perform but can only use their instruments to produce cow shit ...
its the combination of the two i think ... and i hope all the bands out there to .. grow up .. be a rockstar ... ... i know you got talent but you don't have to be a prick about it ... this underground thing got to stop .. what underground? are you freeing slaves or something .. making changes ? .. have some political issues that you need to sort out with the govt ... fuck that ... we all have issues with the govt ...
all i'm saying is .. it's all about the music ... nothing more ... and if some other thing got in the way of that ... i can bet you there would be more one buck short and pop shuvass t shirt worn by cool kids than good bands making a name for themselves and performing their stuff ....
