26th December 2009: Rock The World 9 at Bukit Jalil! This is the hardcore Restraint.

Modread.

John’s Mistress is back…

…with a new guitarist!

Say what? Ask Me Again.

The wider telephoto shots that have a shallow depth of field were shot with my freshly-gotten Opteka 85mm F1.4. Here’s Rosevelt!

Meanwhile, the Zeiss 135mm F1.8 was used for all drummer shots.

Nitrus, who has been around.

They did a cover of Duffy – Mercy. Fun!

Surf rockers Kugiran Di Tepi Pantai, who have been around even longer, were great fun. That guitar looked like something I saw from a distant memory in Peterson Guitars.

“I wanna hold your haaand!” Beatles done surf style.

Forty Winks, who probably has as many members in the band.

Whatever happened to Faiz being vocalist for Lied?

The Roland AX-Synth, a legitimate Keytar!

Rendra Zawawi brings his dark folk to the folk.

Blind Tribe raaawrrr! No white face powder though; they’re death metal not black metal.

When headbanging with dreadlocks, you may be reminded of its smell.

Still, makes for a good shot.

Eve Oh, an emo representative of An Honest Mistake.

Artcore is hardcore!

Darren runs up to the crowd to tell them to buy his band T-shirt. Yes I want one too!

Lurks is still lurking around.

And that ends my daylight series – the next series of pictures were after the torrents of rain that caused a blackout on the power generators. They shall have stage lights!
