Esplanade's GREAT!!!
K, the Esplanade Gig is over. Before I start to babble about how cool or good it is, there are some people I have to thank:
1) Uncle Dennis from Guitar 77 for getting us this gig! Hope that we didn't disappoint you!
2) Gerard, my evil twin for being our Roadie, Soundtech, and Mr. Ja Pa Lan! You are forever dependable even without us asking you for your help!
3) Mike, for helping us filming the event down. Too bad I was too tired, esle I will join you for BEER!
4) Jim, for coming to help us film by loaning us his tripod and staying throughout the whole gig! Hope that the music is good enough for you!
5) The Esplanade Soundcrew and Artist Manager for doing such a good job! You all rock!
K back to the gig
After the long soundcheck that impressed us with the professionalism of the Esplanade guys and Anthony and Jason impressing them with their pedal board, the show director informed us that the 1st set has to be cancelled due to rain concerns. Of coz we are all disppointed.... Fifi even came up with corny fill-ins for Esplanade to use as announcement which they didn't use (luckily)
However, we were rewarded by a nice view of the Artist Holding area of the Esplanade.
It's so damn posh and nice. The makeup area has light bulbs so strong that it burnt Xiaohui's bag. And of coz the 7 Till Dawners were up to their mischief....which will be revealed in an exclusive Video.
Luckily, the heavens were on our set and we got to perform our 2nd n 3rd set. I can't say we rock the crowd but we did hold our ground by:
1) Jamiel's Stage presence - The girls love him, even secondary school girls
2) Anthony's Guitar solo - The angmohs and the guitarists in the crowd were looking at his playing so intensely that I think Shuhui needs to be afraid of guys instead of gals snatching her ant away
3) Xiaohui's Keys - Not her housekeys but her keyboard playing skills that show the crowd why she's keyboard IC of Studio Comm
4) Jason's Headbanging guitar playing and singing - This guy will take any chance and everychance to head bang....
5) Fifi can finally be seen - Luckily Esplanade has no smoke machine to cover our hunky drummer (Who's so weak tat day that the soundman ask if he had eaten anything or not)
6) Me turning into Justin - K stroking Ant's guitar maybe wrong but at least jumping up and down and eating my bass is rockstar material right?
Words will never do justice to the performanc that we did in Esplanade. It may suck to you but at least we the band enjoy it =) And the claps and cheers were not prerecorded ok!
And of coz if ppl ask you for an encore of one more set instead of one more song is a testimony of a good gig
Now let us rest before we go forth for our next gig 7 days away at Jurong Point!
