\n15th January 2012: The Bathroom Girl<\/b>, at The Bee, Publika. It was also a singer-songwriter night, with Reza Salleh<\/b> (left) and Rendra Zawawi<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nReza is the perennial organizer of gigs, a hardworking man with hardworking chords and melodies.<\/p>\n


\nCherry Lee is her real name, and she sings in the bathroom on her Youtube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nRendra brings a gritty melancholia to the singer-songwriter scene. <\/p>\n


\nIn true singer-songwriter round fashion, they take turns to play.<\/p>\n


\nAs they are all on stage at the same time, they may sometimes be accompanied by the other, usually idle performers, in vocal or instrumental harmony.<\/p>\n


\nRendra brings quite a refreshing sound, I’d say!<\/p>\n

The first set ended, and it so happened that Peter and Markiza Brown would play during the intermission!<\/p>\n


\nMarkiza Brown hops on stage to play songs of peace and to save the environment.<\/p>\n


\nPeter Hassan Brown, one of the key figures in the singer-songwriter scene, often credited for having open mike and singer-songwriter sessions back in the day. Many a gig organizer would have gone for that, inspired, and went on to do their own.<\/p>\n


\nHe and his wife bring classic folk and authentic hippie power.<\/p>\n


\nAll shots except the first, with the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 on the Sony A77. The first was with the Opteka 85mm F1.4, hence the less compressed perspective.<\/p>\n


\nStrange, as just yesterday I was telling somebody how the 135mm on APS-C was too tight, but I seemed to have found comfortable framing with this. Of course, it helps that there was much room to maneuver at The Bee!<\/p>\n


\nRendra and his brother Hameer have a penchant for performing with beanies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
