Let's Gig!
At Carlos Zubirs' Artiste Club! The place has a great
sound system, and nevermind the small stage! Today's gig
had an appearance of new bands, and quite a few surprises
we had! Im really excited about this..a new band called
Pick-cell brought in a Computer! And another band (which
name I cant recall..ermm..guys, if youre reading this,
email me!) played with a turntable and guest DJ! Its so
exciting and touching to see there is actually a desire
to move into more experimental grounds (even though
having a turntable and a computer nowadays is hardly
experimental anymore)..but what I mean is, at least
new bands are trying out new ways to get heard,
and it shows that the scene is growing too! Nevermind
the cover songs for now, as long as there are original
coming up soon! (hey, we started out doing Rage and Foo
covers as well!). Anyways, we had the slot number 9,
the last one, when the amps and the people are so
numb and tired that its just a relaxing state. hey
but thanks for staying back to watch us play, those
of you who did! Its really awesome having such support!
Anyhow, our set was ridden with problems from start to
finish (well, the finish was better than the start).
Its either because a) we are now working everyday to
survive or b) we're getting old...ha! Well, at first
Lymeus Delta (who still has no monitor, thanks to Pick-
Cell for saving our day!) had trouble with the sound
cable (I know, my cable is old and half broken, I have
to get mysef a new one). Aside from that, just the
entire set was a little messy, with boy's bass's cable
giving problems and having to delay a few songs to fix
it up (and sometimes being completely off during a song)
But oh well..we managed to pull it through, to a sitting
and tired audience, who still showed their support with
their smiles and applauses..it was really cool, I could
just sit down and chat with a few people sitting on the
floor. Hey Winder (LMB) sorry for that comment about
you-know-what! hehe! nothing serious, just me playing the
fool. And a couple of songs did sound pretty alright
(Something and Hunger to Rule come up to mind) so it
wasnt so bad after all.
All in all, the entire gig was really something exciting
and worth every ringgit paid (10 ringgits), cool if
you could make it! Alright then, until the next one!

go back.
