\nSeptember 3rd, 2012: Open Mic @ The Venue, Pavilion KL #1<\/a>. This was the very first, hosted by Az Samad<\/b> himself! Here he is with a ukulele.<\/p>\n


\nAriff<\/b> also on ukulele.<\/p>\n


\nAlloy<\/b> is a beatboxer.<\/p>\n


\nHe then collaborates with Tasha, to form Alloy & Tasha<\/b>. Alloy with an alloy!<\/p>\n


\nTharish<\/b> and her striking white guitar.<\/p>\n


\nIrena Taib of The Impatient Sisters<\/b>, the first featured act.<\/p>\n


\nThree sisters.<\/p>\n


\nThe odd one out, a violinist.<\/p>\n


\nJared Lim Trio\/Jumero<\/b>. This is Jared, and they play more classic rock\/funk\/disco stuff, really well!<\/p>\n


\nAlloy & Keana<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThe amazing Shaneil Devaser<\/b>. His DIY CD is well-produced!<\/p>\n


\nJia Ming<\/b> does some fingerstyle.<\/p>\n


\nPaolo Delfino<\/b>, second featured act, has an older sound this time, after not seeing him around for some time. Also, that is one heck of a shiny Floyd Rose floating bridge!<\/p>\n


\nI-don’t-remember-this-Eu-Jinn.<\/p>\n


\nFaan<\/b>, with legit Malay folk music. Solid stuff.<\/p>\n


\nMarkiza & Peter Hassan Brown<\/b> are veterans – here’s Peter.<\/p>\n


\nMaster of the harp.<\/p>\n


\nMarkiza usually plays on her organ but is dwarfed here.<\/p>\n


\nSulyn Ooi<\/b> then gets on the keys.<\/p>\n


\nHer band.<\/p>\n


\nAzfar Allias<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nJoe Loy<\/b>. Here you can get an idea of what the stage looks like.<\/p>\n


\nA very smiley Melissa<\/b>. (Who I’d later discover to be part of the awesome girl band Crinkle Cut.)<\/p>\n


\nThe melancholic Hameer Zawawi<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Pictures mostly by the Sony Alpha SLT-A77V and Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA, with some shots from the Sony Alpha 900 and Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM, and the Opteka 85mm F1.4 (judging on perspective – since its DIY chip fell out, perspective is the only way I can differentiate between that and my Samyang 35mm F1.4, as the EXIF data reports a focal length of 0mm.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
