One month of sleep deprivation
It’s finally here guys (and some girls)!! From this point onwards till 9 July, every other form of human activity will have to take a backseat, or take a hike!! Bring out the beers, the cheers and the jeers. (*man that was cheesy…..sorry i just had to let it out) Okay, I’m gonna stop talking right here coz I think the look on Dinesh sums it all. Kick off!!
(P.S - No, this is not the best English team ever assembled, and no, they are not gonna make it past 2nd round)
(P.P.S - how can we make use of Sen Kiat’s new LCD TV for the big games? hmmm……Bala, suggestions?)
Pictures from the Troubagangers Show
Got these pictures from Dinesh, who decided to sit this one out. He also took some video shots of the performance, which would answer a couple of questions:-
a) Is Bala engrossed with observing the imaginary colony of ants in front of him every time we take to stage?
b) Does Chak really like Lazy Sunday that much that he has to play with himself everytime he sings it?
c) Should the band allow Suren to indulge in a couple of beers before a show?
d) No questions about Sen Kiat, he’s the cool guy in the band!
Anyway, enough babbling. Here are some pictures. Check the rest out in the Photo section.
WPFD & Troubaganger’s - The Aftermath
This was a day when for some reason, everybody in the band were not in the best of shape. Sore throat, bad case of the flu, lack of sleep and stuff. I don’t know about the rest but I was popping Panadols like freakin’ M&Ms the whole day. Anyway, we managed to soldier on and put up decent performances in the afternoon & at night.
The World Press Freedom Day gig in the afternoon went pretty well. We were kinda worried about not getting a crowd, due to the fact that we were opening the day’s gig and were scheduled to start at 12 pm. But I have to say the crowd was actually bigger than we had expected. So I guess we started the gig on the right footing. Gig organizer, Hasbee did a great job in roping bands that played an eclectic set of tunes. Managed to stay on to watch Flow, with their reggae-like, funky as hell music. Makes you wish you were chilling on the beaches of Redang/Perhentian! Broken Scar was up next. Bought his CD a couple of weeks ago, and I must say he sounds just as good singing live. Played a great set which sent the crowd roaring when he played the intro to “Eye of the Tiger” Hahaha……rawk kapak rules!! Hasbee’s got a write up on the event here. (will post the link for day 2 once its up) Anyway, we’d like to extend a very special thanks to Hasbee and Sonia who organized the show and got us on board.
Headed back around 2 pm to catch some snoozes and gather our energy up for the La Bodega gig. The show which co-incided with Troubadours & Doppelgangers birthday celebration was a total blast. The whole place was packed to the brim and the crowd was extremely supportive towards all the acts of the night. There were a couple of open mic poetry recitals as well as performance from Malokai Gruv (Azwan’s band), before we took to stage. Played a short set - Same Way, Out of Body, Lazy Sunday, which I think went well with the crowd. Big shout out to Jasmine who organized & mc-ed the event. Happy Birthday Troubagangers!!
15 hours, 6 beers, 4 Panadols, 2 shows and 1 beef noodles later, I crashed into bed (again, bad idea to say “we”) thinking, damn….I could just keep on doing this! Pictures to be available soon.
