\n18th May 2012: Art Rock’s Night – A Pink Floyd Trip<\/b>. Note the logos on the white wall.<\/p>\n


\nThis was my first time at DoPPel Kafe, at Central Market Annexe! This place used to be many things, including the famous Liquid Bar.<\/p>\n


\nI came late, but managed to catch Offroads<\/b> doing Time<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nTemjin<\/b> did Learning To Fly<\/i>, but they also did their own rock and roll stuff. To which the venerable Rafique Rashid rose and said, “HEY! this was to be a Pink Floyd tribute gig!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

He was not pleased. Neither was I. Yes, we like rock and roll, but when you do a tribute, you ideally stick to covering the band, or playing songs that sound<\/b> like the band or have a similiar mood<\/b>. (The least they could do to quantify this was to sound more like Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd.)<\/p>\n


\nYes, rock and roll.<\/p>\n


\nPhlox<\/b> did Echoes<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nAll shots with the Sony Alpha NEX-5, with the E-mount 16mm F2.8 pancake for the wide shots, and the Opteka 85mm F1.4 in A-mount (with the Sony LA-EA1 adapter) for the telephoto shots. Still, it was pretty dark, and I had to use ISO3200 and flash sometimes!<\/p>\n


\nRafil Elyas of Panda Head Curry, who did not play.<\/p>\n


\nPitahati<\/b> soundchecked with Money<\/i>, then starting with Arnold Layne<\/i>, Another Brick In The Wall<\/i>, and two of their own Pink Floyd-ish Malay songs. I remember noting their Big Muff and Korg sound. Also note the stage color, but this could be shuffled around!<\/p>\n


\nBonus blast from the past: 10th February 2010, when this place was Oh Malaya Cafe<\/a>, a retro-themed place.<\/p>\n


\nThe outdoor lounge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
