\nRAWR!!! The Gig Goes To Paradox Part 4<\/a>, 22nd December, 2012! This is Paradox Art Cafe, a cafe with an interesting concept – they sell art, and I quite like the food there. The stage faces a balcony and is open-air.<\/p>\n


\nFirst up, Emilia Z<\/b>! Little did I know I would later be acquainted with this super cool geek girl.<\/p>\n


\nNabeel, similiarly an ex-stranger I photographed, playing guitar for her.<\/p>\n


\nShe did a cover of Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nNext up, The Morkuthis<\/b>. I’d meet the band later at a mamak thanks to connector of all things, Ann Na.<\/p>\n


\nChristina faces the fan and makes for photogenic hair.<\/p>\n


\nHeart-A-Tack<\/b>, for when you have to pin down love.<\/p>\n


\nAll shots with the Sony Alpha 99, Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM and Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA.<\/p>\n


\nAshley Wong<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nI have this habit of borrowing people’s shades and camwhoring with them.<\/p>\n

No, wait, I need to use the new term for it – selfie<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nWhile at it, here’s the balcony!<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, this was the first time I had been there (I haven’t posted anything from Paradox before this, and yet it feels like I’d been there for one more gig, perhaps without my camera?)<\/p>\n


\nFor This Cycle<\/b>…<\/p>\n


\n…from Singapore.<\/p>\n


\nDarren Ashley brings a cutout to show his support…<\/p>\n


\n…for the Mordo Blasters<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nIsaac on rare acoustic guitar. He’s normally ripping out some hot licks.<\/p>\n


\nDrum and bass also make a mini horn section.<\/p>\n


\nNext up, An Honest Mistake<\/b>, in its most minimalist form. I’m sure I’ve seen a caricaturized version of Sheryl Goh doing exactly this somewhere before.<\/p>\n


\nDarren Teh, frontman and chug-a-chug guitarist. There’s a particular way he transitions between riffs that is quite distinct. I remember me noting this with a musician of caliber in the audience. It is best described as chug-a-chug.<\/p>\n


\nSheryl Goh, again.<\/p>\n


\nDarren Teh, again.<\/p>\n


\nOriginally, Darren’s expression in this picture was, pardon my Malaysian basolect, “cannot make it<\/i>“. I like how his hair flies in this, so I’ve remade this in the style of a popular 2013 meme<\/a>. By the way, while you’re there, right-click and click View Page Source.<\/p>\n


\nTo Kill A Mockingbird<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThis is Amanda Love.<\/p>\n


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


\nThis band is quite simply called…<\/p>\n
