Moonshine: A Homemade Music Show’s 7th Anniversary, November 15th 2012, at Laundry Bar, The Curve. Here’s Zee Avi in the audience!

Dzamira Dzafri has got gritty tunes.

The harmonizing sisters known as The Impatient Sisters were next.

At the time of me posting this, their farewell gig for Irena Taib would’ve started, but I am here at home clearing my backlog and staying at home due to financial and logistical constraints.

They also had a drummer…

…and strings and percussion.

Next up was Julian Chan & Richie Tan.

Julian is no stranger to the scene.

Reza Salleh, organizer, emcee and feel-good singer-songwriter sports a new hairdo.

Zalila Lee on a djembe.

I can’t remember the name of the rabbit cartoon character this reminds me of.

Narmi, whose One Buck Short punk drummer days are soon to be shadowed by his acoustic singer-songwriter work.

Fanbase.

Jeremy backs him up.

Chizu, a duo comprising of Ryan Lee Bhaskaran on cajon and Wei-Ming Wong on guitar, prone to catchy, cartoony reinterpretations of popular tunes.

This would be the first Moonshine I’d shoot with the 24-megapixel Sony Alpha 99. This was a crop from the Opteka 85mm F1.4. Some other shots were with the Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM and Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA.

Also, at the time of processing the RAW pictures, DxO Optics Pro Elite did not support the A99 so I used Adobe Camera RAW instead. Thus the different look, with different color balance, not to be confused with white balance (I hope you can tell).

They were then joined by jazz bird Cheryl Tan and a bassist.

Next up… big drums.

It was the immensely catchy, upbeat Amir Jahari. His songs stick like kuih.
