It was a last minute idea that together with
Meng and
Sanjay, we drove down
Laundry bar to watch some local acts. It was
Moonshine anniversary show. Nice ! cool !
Despite all the bands, i would like to share here about
Bittersweet. First i heard them on radio, then when i join
EFT, we jam at the jamming studio they runs, called
Hyciendia in PJ...then we watched them played last month at
Laundry, and again...today. These 2 times watching them perform also i can't hear the vocals nicely, either its the sound system problem ( but the other bands are clear ), or the vocalist singing softly, or they purposely want it to sound like that..but i was amazed at the fans they have. Half of the crowd were singing and dancing along with their brand of music, something along the line of
The Strokes and
OAG..wow...
I think they are succesful in marketing their own brand of music, but i do think that when they performed on stage, the vocals, which is the main i would say, should be clear or at least audible lor.. its quite fun to watch them perform as they dressed up like ol' skool rock..with jackets and shades..and the 80s move..hehehehe...
And the other thing, i wondered if its just me or that, i find it quite degrading when they talk in Malay, those Malay in the slang only Malays understand, i mean, of course we do understand laaa.. Well, they are Malays to start with, but their songs are English, so why not converse in English with the audience rite ? and if you're been to
Laundry, im sure you know there are many Chinese and caucasian people there. You can't expect people like them to understand Malay rite ? So, i suggest. speak English..at least its universal...hahahahah
