Laundering Over October

October 19th, 2006: For once, Project Bazooka‘s gig had as many people as a Moonshine gig! Rock on.


Seven, funky jazz fusion band.


Edge Of Fire, featuring Dragon Red‘s Amil on bass.


Daniel rips out metal tonight.


Ivan, on Amil’s pointy James Hetfield ESP guitar!


Ian behind drums, and a… human drum stand.


They then do Whole Again, acoustic.

While waiting for Dragon Red to come on, the deejay plays Pantera – Cemetery Gates. I go wild and headbang, frantically looking for Amil or Adam to headbang with. The rest of the crowd seems impervious to Dimebag Darrell (RIP) and gang. I was there that night to see the loudest music I’d ever see in Laundry Bar (well, I missed Love Me Butch…)


DJ Naz-T of Dragon Red is next.


They did an acoustic set, including a cover of Incubus – Drive. They also did not have a bassist; before their set I asked what happened. “Oh, we have a replacement bassist, so if you see a bassist around, you might know who it is.

I didn’t want to find out until they got on stage, but I spotted Melina of Tempered Mental holding a bass and hiding. Hot damn! But she was very fit for the role.


Mike stand head.


Amil, reunited with his ESP JH-2.


Dragon Red gets a birthday boy to sing along.


Jangan tak rock.


I caught this shot by accident.


Adam and the glove of fury.


Well hey, isn’t that Zarul the harmonica player and Alda the bassist? No, this was another gig – Isaac Entry And Friends at Laundry Bar as well, on the 26th of October 2006.


Isaac Entry’s last gig at Laundry. Semi-acoustic blues and light funk, which goes somewhere from John Mayer to B.B. King (but in a less dinky setting.)

I went up near the stage with Paul‘s camera because he didn’t bother to, to take some of them 50mm F1.8 shots in his Laundry Bar flickr gallery. (Though after seeing the results, I think F3.5 would’ve been better.)


I was trying to capture the motion traced by the disco ball lights, and caught a pensive Sarah instead.


Escalator at The Curve.


Sarah also propagated her new camwhoring ideas. She had been a willing subject before.

Oh, and of course, pimpage for the next Moonshine this very Thursday:

What: Moonshine: a homemade acoustic show
Where: Laundry Bar, The Curve
When: 10pm 9th November 2006 (corrected!)
Who: Force Vomit (from Singapore), Bittersweet, Reza Salleh, Solsta’ (from hitz.tv’s Blast Off Season 2)
How much: Free, but you’d get thirsty
