25th March 2014: Feedback Open Mic / Celebrating Freedom @ The Bee Publika / March 2014 Edition! Here’s Reza Salleh, organizer.
Koh, first act of the night, obviously fresh from work, complete with a pen in his pocket. All he is missing is the lanyard!
Hameer, emcee and host for the night.
The awesome rocking boys of Milkmen. Old-school rock sound.
Fikri Azam, I think…
Sasha & Hadi.
Kedai Rakyat 1 Malaysia. For real. Awesome band name!
Sedsuna!
They played progressive rock/metal soundtrack-like stuff. The most mind-blowing stuff I’ve heard in a while – because you can’t even put down where or what you’ve heard. I remember one bit sounding like Opeth!
I will pimp their Soundcloud page because it is just something you must hear.
Elena, from America, who just came and found herself a gig.
Melinya, sound engineer, on guitar!
She brought her friends from America!
Then came the skillful Raja Farouque Band!
Christian Theseira on vocals.
Zaim Zaidee on bass.
Ashwin Gobinath on drums.
I… don’t know her.
(Edit: It’s Lor Phaik Sim!)
Raja Farouque Band shredded, but for the second song Will Smith – Black Suits Coming (Nod Your Head) was covered, with guitar solos.
An Honest Mistake.
They were the first featured act of the night.
Ashley was now a big drum player!
The ever flourescent-haired Darren.
Ashley in front of the neon lights.
Why yes, that is not Leonard on guitar, or Tomas on bass. As it turns out, Leonard can’t play acoustic guitar, so Tomas has to take over, and they get another bassist to fill in.
Their agenda: Modern day pop punk.
Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob, second featured act of the night.
They would later shorten their name to Bob The Sausage.
I imagine Esty’s expression to be like that whenever she posts stuff on Facebook.
Jon Liddell.
Fook! A surprise.
Daniel Khairi?
Jeslin.
Leo did a clean, acoustic guitar-only version of The Carpenters – Close To You.
Nicky & Amy. They later swapped tasks (guitar or vocals) with an awesome Flight Of The Conchords – Most Beautiful Girl cover, complete with the dance!
Basil Foo rapped while playing guitar to Puff Daddy feat. Faith Evans – I’ll Be Missing You.
Stacy.
William is old-school, with The Ramones – My Brain Is Hanging Upside-Down and The White Stripes – I Think We’re Going To Be Friends.
