\n7th August 2009: A Shameless Covers Night<\/b> at PJ Life Arts Centre<\/b> in Jaya One, a one-night only performance by Mia, Reza, Melina and Zal. Here’s Mia Palencia on the recorder, a schooltime classic! She started with the notes to Seal – Kiss From A Rose<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThe performers took turns on instruments. Mia was on the recorder, vocals, shaker, organ and guitar.<\/p>\n


\nThe set, with interesting decorations.<\/p>\n


\nComfy seats on stage – it was set up such that it looked like a house and they were just having a little jam. Which felt like it in a very nice warm way. In between songs they’d have little public conversations.<\/p>\n


\nYou could feel the level of comfort and ease between all four musicians.<\/p>\n


\nMelina was on vocals, guitar, organ, djembe and shaker. I guess you could see who wanted which song to be covered e.g. Bjork – Isobel<\/b> and Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nYeah hit that!<\/p>\n


\nNormally, you would not see any of these four using sheet music!<\/p>\n


\nThe way the covers were divided amongst the members was quite interesting, and to see how they rework or substitute instruments. Quite a performance to keep your eyes glued onto really!<\/p>\n


\nI didn’t know PJLA was looking mighty like the old Actors Studio Bangsar, just a heck shorter.<\/p>\n


\nBootleggers (who would later put it up on Youtube<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

One of my favorites was their cover of TLC – Waterfalls<\/b>. Mia even did the rap!<\/p>\n


\nZalila Lee! She was on vocals, guitar, organ, shaker and djembe.<\/p>\n


\nOh, and hand percussion. Snappy!<\/p>\n


\nReza Salleh<\/a> has a djembe.<\/p>\n


\nHe also sang and played guitar. I wonder myself what programs they use instead of sheet music on a Mac.<\/p>\n


\nDusty guitar.<\/p>\n


\nReza, during the anthemic march of the Pinky And The Brain<\/b> theme song! This, among other cartoon theme songs, was played as a encore medley.<\/p>\n


\nOutside, there was an advisory on a low-hanging beam.<\/p>\n


\nLing and Steph.<\/p>\n

And this was the setlist:<\/p>\n

1. Boyz II Men – Water Runs Dry
\n2. Seal – Kiss From A Rose
\n3. Eagle Eye Cherry – Save Tonight
\n4. Weezer – Buddy Holly
\n5. TLC – Waterfalls
\n6. John Mayer – Stop This Train
\n7. Bjork – Isobel
\n8. Saber Rider Theme Song
\n9. Marvin Gaye – What’s Goin’ On into
\n10. Madonna – Secret<\/p>\n

(Break)<\/p>\n

1. Boyz II Men – Thank You
\n2. Sheryl Crow – Strong Enough
\n3. The Cranberries – Salvation
\n4. Aerosmith – Jaded
\n5. Alanis Morisette – You Oughta Know
\n6. Radiohead – Creep
\n7. The Clovers – Love Potion Number 9 into Ghost Busters into Apollo Chocolate Wafer Theme
\n8. Oasis – Champagne Supernova
\n9. Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight<\/p>\n

(Encore)
\nCartoon Theme medley: Captain Planet into Denver The Last Dinosaur into the Flintstones into Smurfs into Pinky And The Brain into Transformers into Thundercats<\/p>\n

The Transformers theme was particularly cute – everybody was chiming in to make the transforming sound effects!<\/p>\n

The gig was too awesome – I wish it ran for at least 2 nights so I could pimp it out to people to come for the second show!<\/p>\n

And here’s a video (you can then click on the related videos, once finished, to see the other bootlegs):<\/p>\n
