[Vai Freak] Glacius

Mood: Tired
Listening To: Nothing









I just came back from an ex-schoolmate's place at Gat Lebuh Macallum.  Sat down there and caught up with him since I was riding the bike and not driving the car.  Nothing much.

Anyways, today's the day that got the whole band into a state of panic, no thanks to Roy.  Called him since last night and no answer.  He didn't even turn up for jamming last night.  Found out that he left his phone in his friend's car.  Sheesh.  Complications and frustration occured there.  Felt bad to bug Joshua to pick Moe up after he picked me up.  Was late behind schedule.

First performance was at 12pm.  We were the 2nd band (there were only 2 bands.  Panic Overdrive and Ian's band.. Which I forgot the name.  Paiseh.  lol).  Practically screwed up on a lot of places, bits and solos.  But it was satisfying.  Panic Overdrive catches the attention of youths.. Commercialised music, so it's pretty much suitable for everybody in the crowd.

Managed to see my form 5 Maths teacher!  Glad to hear that she's doing okay.  I just found out from my ex-schoolmate that she has cancer.  :( .. Must be lucky to actually meet up with her.  Although we played a lot of .. well, Rock music, she said we pulled off a great show.  Wheee!

2nd performance and set was at 2pm.  Played Better Than This, Don't Bring Her Around, Waiting For You and My Friend.  The crowd was even better because the whole hall was packed this time.  Support from the old and the young was amazing!  Really made you didn't want to get off stage.

I suffered from a series of nervousity.  Couldn't keep my legs still.  They just had to shiver tremendously @.@.. Also, due to starvation, I nearly fainted on stage after pushing my vocal chords too far during the first set.

For the 2nd performance, it was really good.  When we started off My Friend with the hard intro, I did a last minute decision to head bang during the intro since it was hard and heavy.  Although I thought it was an odd idea to headbang when nobody in the band would do it except for Joshua and Moe, suprisingly, the crowd I would least expect to go wild..actually went wild and showed a lot of support.

I think it would look kind of cool?  Seeing some dude wearing full black with a silver tie.. Playing a guitar with a colour contrasted to the outfit.. And well, headbanging with that School of Rock - Rock stance.  LOL.

The sort of headbanging position/stance where Mic Thompson of SlipKnoT would use..

Besides that, would come a mix of Alexi Laiho in headbanging in a different method.. not sure how to explain.  Refer to M is for Metal from The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox.  Lol










Ahhh .. not bad.  The sound was good, but somewhat too sharp.  No soundcheck was provided, but it was okay as we were kind of behind schedule.  Everything went over the benchmark.  At least above average.  Everybody did well during the performance, except for that person from the Snake Show thing who got bitten by a Mangrove snake.  Pity.










Oh.  And I think some might complain about the food fair this year?  It rained, so the field was muddy.  I don't know.  I never went around checking out what's being provided this year, so I can't spare my 2 cents about this year's food fair.










Then again, the performance rocked.. been a while since I last saw a crowd this supportive XD XD XD XD XD XD










Ahhhh.  Next performance:  May 5th, Disted College.
