\nXfresh X-Gig<\/a>, 23rd August 2008, at Zouk – the finale for the first round of the X-Gig series! This is Emir of Throne Away<\/b>, making an appearance with Stereo Socket<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThey play shoegazer music. Though I think this guitar isn’t post-rock enough, it needs to be pimped with a few switches!<\/p>\n


\nThe crowd.<\/p>\n


\nRobot Asmara<\/b>. Ya saya ingin berasmara!<\/p>\n


\nFor some reason, when there is a big band with a keyboardist and female singer, it tends to be disco-type indie. Which it was!<\/p>\n


\nThen, it was Brit-type indie, with The Times<\/b>. It was also the time to start pushing barricades!<\/p>\n


\nThe vocalist hopped on above the barricades anyway, and surfed away…<\/p>\n


\nThen it was time for Duan of Seven Collar T-Shirt<\/b> to break out classic singalongs like Faith<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nHam, Xfresh DJ and effects master (Summary<\/b> is always fun to watch.)<\/p>\n


\nSmek, with Killer Calculateur<\/b>, delivers many many more songs, but each song is short – it could only be hardcore. Bang bang double bass double bass riff riff shout shout next song.<\/p>\n


\nMinority Against Radio Oppression<\/b>. At least they can get on radio, as MARO!<\/p>\n


\nMeng of Love Me Butch<\/b> got on top of a gig hard case to do this.<\/p>\n


\nI love how they position themselves all over the stage – the bassist is gaining elevation by stepping on the monitor.<\/p>\n


\nIt’s almost as if Syahrul<\/b> knew where to stand, to get the backlight.<\/p>\n


\nDid somebody say Barricade<\/b>? Yep, the metal joints broke…<\/p>\n


\nAnother elevated shot. Gotta love their attention to performance details; they are easily the most photogenic band I’ve seen! (Besides their solid nu-metal\/emo tendencies.)<\/p>\n


\n“Psst… we’re back.<\/i>” whispers Loque to Emmett. The Butterfingers<\/b> then rip out some classics (the violin tells you exactly what song he is going to play.)<\/p>\n


\nDude, come back and rock alright?<\/p>\n


\nI finally met Kenchill<\/a> and discovered that he had the same beard I had, which grew towards my right no matter what I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
