Electric lah. AAbsolutely loved the show yesterday. The amps were good. I mean for the guitar amps they provided were the ones used for BayBeats lah. As for the bass amp... No such luck... But still... It was... really great sounding. Man... Getting the hang of using my effects pedal. I'm currently using an Ibanez Bass Overdrive/Distortion. I guess, in time, I'll try out the other variants. Wanna get an EQ and Tuning Pedal. Woots! I finally nailed Running On Empty's bass solo. Finally! Haha!
Highlight of the night was really when we got up on stage and shared it with Ashik and Naseer from 3dash1. Totally awesome ar. Totally man. I mean Ashik, Eve, San San and I were like all over the place ar! We were jumping, jacking, head banging, swinging (our lovely instruments)... Everything! We played My Hero by Foo Fighters. Finally I got to cover them. Woots! It was fun! Blardy fun! We were all enthralled ar. First time really where I felt that the band's stage presence was like really overwhelming in a very very very very fun way ar. I mean, MOSH was good. Don't get me wrong. But for MOSH, Eve was getting the hang of moving about. But last night, she was MOVING about. We nearly hit each other like a gazillion times ar. Benita was like worried that we would actually. We were... violent.
Then after that, Annabelle Francis was like telling us that she'd like us to perform again and gave us her contact. Yeay! I'm all pumped up for that, though I have a feeling that I won't be available to play for that show. Sad. But still, as long as ArPee keeps it up, gigging and all, by the time I'll be available to play the shows... It'll be so sweet lah. Hopefully, if possible ar.. We can do tours next year. I really really really wanna start touring ar.
Oh yeah, yesterday's post show supper was hardcore! There was Juan, Benita, Jabez, The Band, Push, Gaurav and Giff... that made like 10 of us ar. We spent like 70 bucks on food alone at Al-Azhar. I got a ride there cause Giff drove. The rest of them took the bus. Haha! But of course, I helped to transport the instruments. Wah... Ladies and Gentlemen.. we just got ourselves a tour van. Haha!
So right now, penning lyrics and working on new material for the band. It's all good. We trying out different formulas now. Cause we wanna find a sound that's distinctively US, and yet not commit ourselves to a a particular sub-genre. I mean... we even got inspired by a riff that we were playing for our soundcheck. Haha! That's about it from me. I look forward to tomorrow.
This heart beats for tomorrow.
