Troubagangers, La Bodega KL, 5th February 2006; the pictures follow.<\/p>\n


\nJustin Wong<\/a>, on Suzuki-branded acoustic guitar, gets flashed by fans.<\/p>\n


\nBroken Scar<\/a> sings songs in the key of major.<\/p>\n


\nLisa<\/b>‘s guitar sounded jangly and piercing, perhaps due to bad sound EQ?<\/p>\n


\nErrol de Cruz<\/b> does some good ‘ol country.<\/p>\n


\nZack Tay<\/a> features band slut Alda<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nSu Ann<\/b> reads poetry.<\/p>\n


\nIan Chow<\/b>‘s voice doesn’t need a mike.<\/p>\n


\nThe Sofa Sessions<\/a> feature Fikri<\/b> the crooning waiter.<\/p>\n


\nFinally, Rafil<\/b> projects his masterpiece manifesto with Panda Head Curry<\/b>. They had what they called an interactive performance<\/i>; when they sang the Gator Farm<\/b> song, they passed out KFC Chicken Popcorn, so we could experience<\/b> the chorus:<\/p>\n

“And it tastes like chicken, smells just like chicken, finger lickin’ chicken, fine!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

With Ben<\/b> of Ben’s B***hes as backing vocals and guitar, they then went on to hilarious songs about Kim Jong-il<\/i> and homophobia. I wish I kept the lyrics sheet.<\/p>\n


\nAnd yes, Rafil does<\/b> look like a Panda Head. Yes, I know, my Photoshop skills aren’t as good as yours.<\/p>\n
