One 10th January 2009 night ago at Cloth & Clef!<\/p>\n


\nStonebay<\/b>, one of the headliners.<\/p>\n


\nChoon How<\/b> uses his Nintendo DS to provide background electronic music – cool idea!<\/p>\n


\nDude, you were raw and grungy. Definitely a powerful f-all set.<\/p>\n


\nFans.<\/p>\n


\nThe crowd.<\/p>\n


\nAnuar<\/b>, rippin’ it out on lap steel guitar. We don’t ever get to see this around Malaysia much!<\/p>\n


\nThis was Az Samad’s nephew Afiq<\/b> (thanks Uncle Az for the info!) He ripped out some groovy, killer thrash metal riffs. I had not heard anything so fresh in quite a while.<\/p>\n


\nThen of course, it was Az Samad<\/b>‘s turn to impress by turning every crevice of his guitar into a sound-making instrument, banging on the wood and tapping the surfaces.<\/p>\n


\nThere was no space to slap guitar body on the Soloette.<\/p>\n


\nDavina<\/b> came on to sing a song, or two.<\/p>\n


\nShe did a cover of Bachelor Girl – Buses And Trains<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nAnd then there was a far more emotional song, Carole King – It’s Too Late<\/i>. (Thanks Davina for the info!)<\/p>\n


\n“Uh, did I just croak like a Kermit?<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nShe rebounds from slips quickly and cutely with a smile!<\/p>\n

A video by William here<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nThen Melina (and Stephanie not seen in this picture) are in yet another band…<\/p>\n


\nHamster DamnAged<\/b>! A Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover band.<\/p>\n


\nFeaturing a sexy, dancy vocalist with all the shouts of shrieks of Karen O!<\/p>\n

Here’s a video of them performing<\/a> on Youtube.<\/p>\n


\nA softer change of pace with Rusdi<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nBrainhead<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThe stuffed toy bows.<\/p>\n


\nThen came one of the most uh, memorable bands of the night – Jenny Rocket<\/b>! In the sense that they forgot to tune up before going on stage (major boo-boo<\/b>) and that the vocalist was kicking and punching his band members on stage.<\/p>\n


\nI think he was trying to get them into the mood to dance about in an indie band manner instead of mostly standing.<\/p>\n

The way they sounded, I felt like I was temporarily teleported into a jamming studio!<\/p>\n


\nFortunately Auburn<\/b> saved our ears with some new songs in the language of Malay. <\/p>\n


\nStill as progressive and rocking as ever!<\/p>\n


\nMaya Lara<\/b> was next – this was Jenny Rocket without the vocalist.<\/p>\n


\nFirasah<\/b> ended the night with a killer cover of Deep Purple – Burn<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nThey were only allocated time for one song as the gig was over, so the vocals were cut off from the sound system for the next song, Iron Maiden – Trooper<\/i>. That did not stop the crowd from singing the entire song (and the catchy call-and-response riff!)<\/p>\n


\nYep, some members of heavy metal revival guys Revenge<\/b> were in the crowd. Fun night that was!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
