And now, for pictures from the Rock Chic’s Night Out, ‘A Celebration of Rock Ladies’, a rock gig featuring female performers<\/a>, on the 12th of May 2006 (see I updated within this month!)<\/p>\n


\nRhapsody<\/a> was first, with their non-rock inclinations leading to samba and jazz stuff. Nicole’s powerful voice and stage presence is indeed captivating.<\/p>\n


\nDipha on guitars isn’t part of their usual lineup. Sadly, I think the guitar amplifier was too loud, and his classical guitar plucking was honking in my ears.<\/p>\n


\n(Irrelevant pictures might get downsized, like Lainie<\/a>‘s chicken chop. Yeah, she’s the man, she orders chicken chop during a rock gig.)<\/p>\n


\nPlush<\/b> was next. Credits to Jasiminne<\/a> for this shot of Melina<\/b> and a Flying V.<\/p>\n


\nThe bassist looks awfully like one of my friends. (I shall start abusing Hue\/Saturation\/Lightness effects from this point on.)<\/p>\n


\nSo does the drummer Stephanie<\/b>. Well, maybe.<\/p>\n


\nIzwin<\/b> sings alternative rock songs.<\/p>\n


\n(Beer and women. Happiness.)<\/p>\n


\nJack<\/b> the shredder is given a few bars per song to solo! This was the first time I’d seen Tempered Mental<\/a> do that.<\/p>\n


\nMelina plays bass and sings over complex time changes in what else but progressive rock. Funky thin neck effect was accomplished with slow shutter speed and flash.<\/p>\n


\nApplecreed<\/b> was next. Check out the lyrics!<\/p>\n


\nIf you run out of space, write them on the other hand.<\/p>\n


\nNah, she wasn’t referring to her arms at all. I see a place where she could write a whole song on. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n


\nBlunt<\/b> does No Doubt<\/b> covers and ska anthems.<\/p>\n


\nYes, you can be fashionable in black and white.<\/p>\n


\nCandy<\/b> is a band that has been around and has had a hit single Akan Ku Tunggu<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nThey’re serious, with serious, non-girly guitars like this Paul Gilbert Model Ibanez.<\/p>\n


\nSpot the POD! No, not an iPod.<\/p>\n

They did some hard rock, and sadly relegated to covers, e.g. Marion Raven – End Of Me<\/i>, Cranberries – Zombie<\/i> and Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit<\/i>. However, they rocked harder than any other male-membered band who ever tried to cover those songs!<\/p>\n

I wonder if this is what becomes of bands that don’t retire – they probably play in pubs and hotel lounges. Paul<\/a> thinks they’re MILFs. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n


\nThe sweet (Candy) bits were when they did Guns & Roses – Sweet Child Of Mine<\/i>, wailing solos and all, and riffed together to heavy metal instrumental, Iron Maiden – Transylvania<\/i>! Jangan tak rock.<\/p>\n

The emcee was Juliana of Fly FM, and she was telling lame jokes. Yeah, your jokes don’t fly!<\/p>\n

More reading material is at Lainie’s, like lyrics<\/a> and pictures and videos<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
