\n16th January 2014: Moonshine: Spotlight \/ Jan 2014 Edition<\/a> at Laundry Bar, The Curve. Yes, my first blog post from 2014 (though, I haven’t posted pictures from Rock The World 13, so it’s not chronological order and I’ve not actually cleared all of 2013’s gigs, strictly speaking.) This is Reza Salleh, emcee and organizer!<\/p>\n


\nAz Samad<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nFinger-tapping, guitar-popping maestro.<\/p>\n


\nQuirky Qwerty sings impromptu backup vocals! (If you can consider Az’s guitar the main vocalist, that is.)<\/p>\n


\nChest bump.<\/p>\n


\nA very cool thing about this purple guitar (besides it being purple) is its upper soundhole, so the guitarist can hear what he\/she is playing even better.<\/p>\n


\nQuirky Qwerty<\/b>! I think the picture explains their name.<\/p>\n


\nMelina and her new Dean 5-string acoustic bass. She was very happy with it on stage, especially when doing a Jungle Book cover, and singing the Baloo part on bass.<\/p>\n


\nFaz on guitar.<\/p>\n


\nDavid Ling, who finds himself being the only dude in this band, as well as Tabloid.<\/p>\n


\nSharon Chong on melodica!<\/p>\n


\n3 iPads on stage, for sheet music. These are legit sheet-reading musicians!<\/p>\n


\nSharon however is old-school.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if people who read lyrics off phones on stage ever get phone calls while on stage.<\/p>\n


\nNish takes a break from her primary instrument, the steel pan\/steel drum.<\/p>\n


\nThe Metaphor<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nPost-rock!<\/p>\n


\nTomas and his pedalboard.<\/p>\n


\nNo wait, make that two, for more post-rock goodness.<\/p>\n


\nIf I was ever to get another guitar without a floating bridge, it might be a string-through, because they just look so sleek.<\/p>\n


\nA new angle.<\/p>\n


\nBarber chair at Laundry Bar.<\/p>\n


\nMan Under Zero Effort<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nInstrumental rock, mostly.<\/p>\n


\nRandom audience member who makes an interesting photographic subject.<\/p>\n


\nLefty bass!<\/p>\n


\nNow that is a Pedaltrain.<\/p>\n


\nRather interesting pickups on that guitar!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
