Now, for pictures from Broken Scar and Reza Salleh at No Black Tie, 28th June 2006.

Broken Scar was in his bare acoustic modern rock setup today; just one man and his guitar.

There was also a hot photographer chick! Waitaminute…

It’s Suzanne Lee with a Canon EOS 20D digital SLR!

I knew her from 2002, when she worked in Xfresh as a marketing executive. She also brought me to a gig in Saloma, where I saw and was entranced with Damn Dirty Apes for the very first time.

Last I met her, she told me she just did a beer ad. Little did I know that the money from that ad would be used to buy her first, a Canon 300D; she then modelled and travelled the world, selling her photos (hmm that doesn’t sound right) and got… THIS! The white Canon 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM zoom lens is a premium luxury lens for sniping in the dark.

Spot the photographer!

Meanwhile, all I have is my Canon Powershot A520, and my infrared-modded Fujifilm Digital Q1. Seen here is Lionel modelling for his friend.

Apparently, Reza Salleh and Suzanne Lee were finalists for the KLue Blue Chilli awards. That might be how they met. Or through the underground band Prana.

Reza was backed with a full band; here’s Stephanie drumming. To achieve this effect on the drumstick, use flash, and a slow shutter speed (in Tv/Shutter Priority mode.)

Melina of Tempered Mental on bass, for all you grou fans out there. She probably couldn’t be happier when Reza breaks out into a cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge.

Hanafi of Estranged (and sometimes Tempered Mental) does quite a few solos.

Reza invites Broken Scar up to the stage, as his Seattle-grunge voice is better suited to cover Stone Temple Pilots – Plush.
