\n21st June 2014: Fete De La Musique Malaysia 2014<\/a> at Jalan Mesui, off Bukit Bintang! Here’s the day half of it; I’ll upload the evening ones and some other shots later. Here’s Santosh Logandran<\/b> with a cool ukulele strap. I like how it grabs on to the soundhole!<\/p>\n


\nHis guitarist. This was the Acoustic Stage in front of Feeka, a new hipster coffee shop.<\/p>\n


\nChristian Theseira<\/b>, at Lima Blas that had the Traditional Stage (they serve my favorite Malaysian coffee, tasting a bit like Kopiko…)<\/p>\n


\nHe had a different lineup – Melissa of Crinkle Cut on guitar…<\/p>\n


\n…and Ashley of Crinkle Cut on cajon!<\/p>\n


\nMelissa and her megawatt smile.<\/p>\n


\nEmcee for another location, Table 23, for the Pop stage.<\/p>\n


\nIn Lobby, the Rock Stage, was hard-rocking Black Lightbulb featuring Hameer Zawawi<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nI… don’t know her name. She looks like Simmy, but I can’t be sure.<\/p>\n


\nZaim Zaidee is zen.<\/p>\n


\nAsh and the crash (cymbal).<\/p>\n


\nRaja Farouque (right) with his bandmate from when he performs as Raja Farouque.<\/p>\n


\nMore of his bandmates, all in separate bands! Left to right: Grace Cho (in Fazz) and Kelly Siew (as Kelly Siew).<\/p>\n


\nHameer singing rock vocals, a rare sight – the last I’d seen him like this was for Ask Me Again, back at Rock The World 9<\/a>, 26th December 2009.<\/p>\n


\nI then switched to my Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye, that makes a circular image. This, however, is a defished image in DxO Optics Pro Elite – de-fisheye slider set to 100.<\/p>\n


\nFarouque’s metal guitar slide for some sweet soloing.<\/p>\n


\nHeadbanging Hameer.<\/p>\n


\nOutside, back at Feeka, was a quieter gig.<\/p>\n


\nJoey Tong<\/b>. Her guitar duty was transferred to the cajon player from this point onwards.<\/p>\n

A friend compared the lineups between Fete De La Musique happening at The Curve and Jalan Mesui (on this same day) and said, “oh Jalan Mesui has the husky-voiced YouTube singer.” I don’t know if she was referring to Joey.<\/p>\n


\nBut yes, somewhat husky. Cool maneki-neko top!<\/p>\n


\nCassandra Mary<\/b> at Table 23.<\/p>\n


\nAnother emcee!<\/p>\n


\nJust So You Know<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nTalitha Tan<\/b> at Feeka.<\/p>\n


\nAlways the cheery summer child.<\/p>\n


\nFamiliar audience!<\/p>\n


\nSICK<\/b>, back at Lobby.<\/p>\n


\nThese guys bring me back…<\/p>\n


\n…to the early 2000s with Limp Bizkit-like stuff. He had an angry song about his ex. I miss songs like these.<\/p>\n


\nOutside, at Table 23, was Panda Head Curry<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nEver quirky, as much performance art as it is music and clever lyrics.<\/p>\n


\nJumero<\/b> at Lima Blas. This picture is merged and blended from two pictures.<\/p>\n


\nBack at Lobby…<\/p>\n


\n…was HIX<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nNice! Epiphone Signature Zakk Wylde LP Custom Plus.<\/p>\n


\nRock, as the stage is.<\/p>\n


\nSulyn Ooi<\/b> at Feeka.<\/p>\n


\nEugene’s sweet neck-through bass.<\/p>\n


\nAccording to the schedule, this would have been Jocelyn Wong<\/b>, but I didn’t see her when I dropped by to take these pictures. (Fete De La Musique schedules everyone on at the same time, so you have to do a bit of walking and you might miss some people, unless they have been scheduled to perform more than once at a few venues.)<\/p>\n
