Project Bazooka<\/a> Band Night, 15th June 2006.<\/p>\n


\nBroken Scar<\/s> Broken Ska<\/a> is on the list tonight, with blues-playing Curtis Blues Review<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nBroken Scar<\/s> Broken Ska. The colored spotlights were scorchingly bright that night, allowing me to get an exposure of 1\/25 seconds, F2.6, at ISO200.<\/p>\n


\nThe same manual settings, with flash. However, flash must be set to maximum power so it will reach the back, and it has to be ISO200 (or else the flash won’t reach the background.) This effect is only possible when the spotlights overpower the flash. For digital cameras without manual settings, just set to Auto, flash on, point into the dark crowd, half-press the shutter, then point at the scene and snap.<\/p>\n


\nCurtis of Curtis Blues Review is jamming up his funky blues and soul. Sadly they were a three-piece band that night, as the other guitarist couldn’t make it, so they relegated to covers instead.<\/p>\n


\nAnd this is how you tap the bottom end!<\/p>\n

I now break my own rules and skip big gigs (don’t worry, I will post pictures from Fete De La Musique 2006 when I feel that I’m up to the arduous task) in favor of this small Flipsyde<\/a> showcase at Zouk, 8th July 2006.<\/p>\n


\nThe tuning song. Flipsyde is rock-infused hip hop, with Santana-esque rock solos thrown in, and an acoustic guitar making the funkiest riffs since Baby Bash – Suga Suga<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nAll tuned in? Let’s go! <\/p>\n

Dave Lopez<\/b> is technically solid on electric guitar, despite his quote:<\/p>\n

“I’ve been in rock bands my whole life, and no one ever cared about my playing. But some of these hip-hop kids have never heard a guitar solo. We did a tour with Snoop Dogg, and I’d go out and solo, and the kids would go wild. They thought I was Jimi Hendrix!”<\/a><\/p>\n


\nNothing is cooler than a guitarist strumming and rapping at the same time. He can’t help but sound like Eminem though. It’s the white boy rap I tell ya. (Though sounding like Eminem or Anthony Kiedis is a compliment. Really.) And does anybody notice the guitar solos in some Eminem songs? I do!<\/p>\n


\nSlayer T-shirt and a G&L ASAT! There was no drummer because the DJ has all his beats laid down on the house, yo.<\/p>\n


\nYes that’s right, an eBow! Just like the one I have<\/a>! At least he has an electric guitar to max out its effects…<\/p>\n


\nCheck out the pedals… and the set list. I saw that extra song down there, so we knew they were coming back for an encore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
