\nThis here is a compilation of three gigs, all at Phat Barrels, Publika.<\/p>\n


\nThis is from the 26th of April 2014.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa, lead vocals and guitar.<\/p>\n


\nLinet Goh, band leader on keyboard and backup vocals. I loved their version of Radiohead – Creep<\/i>, going all synthesizer-sounding like Pink Floyd.<\/p>\n


\nRebecca, drummer.<\/p>\n


\nJie Er, bassist.<\/p>\n


\nAudrey Then, saxophonist.<\/p>\n


\nI don’t usually bring out a wide-angle to gigs these days. This, with the Sony Distagon Carl Zeiss T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM, was for variety.<\/p>\n


\nGrace Hong, ardent bootlegger.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa then hopped off the stage…<\/p>\n


\n…to show us this nifty wireless mike!<\/p>\n


\n(Argh, out of focus.)<\/p>\n


\nEverybody was to sing along to Kool & The Gang – Celebration<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nMing’s voice was particularly funny!<\/p>\n


\nI think he thought it was a breathalyser.<\/p>\n


\nAnother wide-angle shot.<\/p>\n


\nI made Grace do this. This was the week that Barack Obama was in town!<\/p>\n


\nThe week after, 3rd May 2014.<\/p>\n


\nBesides playing bass, Jie Er is also a full-time fly collector.<\/p>\n


\nWhat does her cap say? Ka-pow!<\/p>\n


\nMelissa’s eyes are surprisingly big when she takes her glasses off.<\/p>\n


\nAudrey dun sad<\/i>!<\/p>\n


\nThe crowd is really getting into the groove.<\/p>\n


\nThey gotta be, when the band plays a wide-spanning mix of covers from as early as The Beatles to today…<\/p>\n


\n…all evenly traversing pop music’s catalog.<\/p>\n


\nThis, however, is of course Celebration.<\/p>\n


\nTired?<\/p>\n


\nSurprise mike!<\/p>\n


\nThe setlist was switched up a bit…<\/p>\n


\n…with some 90s hits I’d never heard them cover before…<\/p>\n


\n…like Cranberries – Zombie<\/i> and The Rembrandts – I’ll Be There For You<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nOf course, these pictures are all of the same singalong. I’m just spacing out my narration between pictures.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa turns around and taps the intro riff to Guns & Roses – Sweet Child Of Mine<\/i>. As always, Dotters’ Division has a different take on these songs, with the solo played on saxophone and a country-style bassline! It worked awesomely.<\/p>\n


\nFast-forward to 2 weeks later: 17th May 2014.<\/p>\n


\nThis time I brought the widest rectilinear lens I had, the Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG, for a different view. Anything on the side gets stretched ridiculously, like Kevin Ong on the right (filling in for Audrey) – both his head and guitar are stretched outwards.<\/p>\n


\nLinet’s shirt is super cool, in that the guitars are anatomically correct – the fret inlays and number of frets were all correct for each guitar type, a rare case when looking at illustrated guitars! None of them had 24 frets though (indicated by the 2 dots per fret, like on the 12th fret – Jie Er’s bass has 24 frets) so my favorite Humbucker\/Single-coil\/Humbucker 24-fret Superstrat shape is not represented.<\/p>\n


\nLooks like somebody now has the budget to dye more of her hair red. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
