kk tired as hell.
Right now the post gig syndrome is starting to wear off.
Day started with pre-gig syndrome.
Pre-gig syndrome means i cant even finish a bowl of rice.
Then sound check took super long... which kinda screwed up our plans.
Disclaimer : If you continue to read this , dont blame me for anything you find offensive.
I think the PBO staff have to get their act together.
I mean. Ok theyre not horrible. They are nice people.
But theres seriously a timing problem.
When you tell people to report for soundcheck at 1.00pm , dont drag and let us soundcheck at 3pm. Furthermore , because you guys were too slow in setting up , our soundcheck was basically just running thru 2 songs.
Well , of course while i may unhappy with the timing problem , i think the PBO staff did a decent job equipment wise. Also , i think they made a nice environment for performing ( curtains and such ) and also the lights were kinda cool. Although you dont want to play your guitar solo and suddenly the light shines into your eye.
Things were kinda rushy and despite my " preparation " i still had trouble deciding what to wear. Well. Everyone besides Jarvis had trouble...
I,d say that overall we did a good job. Not great but good.
After counting , i had 3 minor screwups ( those barely noticable ) and 2 major screwups. One during my sweetchild solo and another during the beggining of sounan.
I tried to be cool. Tried to show emotion ... move about. Tried...
But its still good.
It seems that Marunouchi was a real lifesaver.
I mean Andrew didnt screwup his solo so thats good and people were like all wow about Xinyi's flute.
I still remember after the gig. This girl came up to her and was something like. " Hey i liked your performance or smth "
I thought i was a little cool too. Because when i was ard the entrance. This girl came up to me and she was all like. " Hi you,re the guitarist for the 2nd band right? Are you interested in joining this talent competition or smth? "
Well. i figured she probably approached every guitarist seeing that i,m one of the lousier ones down there.
But hehe. I,m glad i didnt screwup my Glam Sky solo.
Razzle play
In my opinion , these guys were the best band in the whole gig.
They were rather poppish but i found their music really enjoyable.
The vocalist while sometimes a little soft was able to sing with emotion and style.
The lead guitarist and the bassist looked like they were having fun. Also , the lead guitarist played some cool stuff which shows a certain level of skill too.
The rythmn guitarist was a female whom did backup vocals too.
She was rather cool and while she may be female ( no sexism here ) her playing was good.
Lets just say that i enjoyed their performance very much , everything was good. Sound , volume control , stage craft etc.
After gig went to Mcdonalds with Skyler plus , Peiwen , Phoebe and Glen
We were talking nonsense at first but suddenly the topic went to NS.
You see. My table had 2 girls , me and Yirun whos a pre-enlistee. I mean it was still ok at the start because they were talking about funny NS stuff and the retarded things in NS.
But after a while i was a little stoned.
Nevertheless , it was quite enjoyable.
our gig money? GONE into macdonalds for 8 people. Since peiwen , phoebe and glen were cool people so we got them dinner too = )
KK. GIGS OVER.
JC HERE I COME.
