Hey hey hey people!
Yesterday night, we did a performance at the Fete de la Musique. It was not that bad. I guess we did okay. You can check it out on YouTube.
If you know my band's name then you can check it out.. if not.. too bad.
Our band is real tight with the band "Velcro".
Here's the connection: -
VELCRO:
Eugene ---> Band leader/vocals/rhythm guitar
Asrul ---> Bassist
Izzet ---> Drummer
Afiq ---> Temporary lead guitarist
Our band:
Afiq ---> Band leader/lead guitarist
Afroze ---> Vocals
Farah ---> Bassist/vocals
Sarah ---> Drummer
The connection:
Afiq plays as the lead in Velcro (temporarily) but is the band leader for our band.
Eugene is the band leader for Velcro but his sister was our ex-vocalist/Asrul's ex-GF.
Asrul now has a thing for Afroze.
Afroze has a thing for Asrul, too.
Izzet and I used to date.
Izzet's recent ex-GF is Afroze's BFF but they still have a thing for one another.
Almost every gig Velcro participates in, our band also participates.
Last but not least, Asrul is our unofficial band manager.
See what I mean? We're kinda linked with them in many ways. You can check us all out on Myspace.
Anyways, Velcro performed at 8pm yesterday. It was kinda sad because their songs are good, but the drums were off. I mean really off. The tempo was faster than usual so because of that the it wasn't in sync. Poor Eugene. They're all upset about that tempo problem.
My advice to them is to find a new drummer. Sorry, if it sounds too harsh or whatever but I'm speaking truthfully. It's either Izzet gets his act together and stop acting selfish or he gets voted off the island. You dig?
Can't say that my band was also "the bomb" either because our tempo was off, too. But the difference is that our whole band was off-tempo as a band. To elaborate, I mean that all of us were off-tempo but did it in sync. LOL. We're a bunch of losers. :p
I don't know, but when you're on stage you suddenly get this energy from the crowd and your so full of this adrenaline rush you just feel more energetic. It's hard to explain it, but that's how we all felt. Yesterday night was our first time performing with Afroze (Our new vocalist.) but I gotta say that I'm really proud of her!!! She fita perfectly with the band. We just have this chemistry. It's cool!
But we were also kinda bummed that night because of the previous bands that weren't professional at all. And when I say not professional, I'm not saying that they weren't good. I mean that their attitude needs a bit of tweaking.
One of the band played like 20 *Slight exaggeration* songs! Each band had only 15 minutes to perform, so that means you can either perform 3 or 4 or even 5 songs. Not 45 minutes!!! C'mon! Be professional will you?!
The other band performed jibberish. They weren't even performing songs. They were literally singing "Lalalalala-wawawawawa-woohoowoohoowoohoo". Not kidding! It made us so upset because if they weren't serious, they shouldn't have perfomred on stage at all. It was close to 12am by then. We were all so tired. Farah's friends were way past their curfew. Yikes! We felt so guilty for keeping them out for so long.
Anyways, I heard that the band performed that way because they were upset about the previous band that performed 45 minutes and I suppose they wanted to get back at the organizers or something. They even did a "fire" show. You know, where you breathe fire kinda thing. Weird. And not to mention, scary.
So when we finally performed, we weren't that scared and nervous anymore because of our anger. But it quickly subsided when we got on stage. Phew!~
That's all folks.
p/s: We're gonna be recording our demo sometime next month. So watch out world!~ LOL
Peace!~
