\n27th June 2014: Crinkle Cut at The Bee, Publika<\/a>!<\/p>\n


\nFrances Tsen, lead vocals, and that red box that makes her voice all spacey.<\/p>\n


\nGrace Foo, keyboard, basslines, and bloops and bleeps.<\/p>\n


\nBleeps used to be Ashley Choong’s job, until she dumped the bleeping iPad to concentrate on beating the cajon.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa Wong, on guitar, vocal harmony, and looking serious.<\/p>\n


\nInterestingly, three of them met through the choir.<\/p>\n


\nSome songs would be introduced as written by respective members, and yet gelling together cohesively in their acoustic loungey sound.<\/p>\n


\nMelissa’s vocal timbre is quite different from Frances’ – the difference I’d say like the difference between a single-coil and a humbucker pickup.<\/p>\n


\nAshley, or Ashleg, as she is commonly misspelled.<\/p>\n


\nP.S. I’m still waiting for them to cover Sly & The Family Stone – If You Want Me To Stay (Live)<\/a> right after covering Musiq Soulchild – Just Friends (Sunny)<\/i>, because of the similarity of the songs!<\/p>\n


\nIt’s always somebody’s birthday at The Bee. This time though, they gave us the leftover cake. Yes, eat your chocolate cake with M&Ms, with chili and ketchup.<\/p>\n


\nThe only picture I have of this sexy back!<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for an interlude, or outerlude if you will….<\/p>\n


\nMelissa takes my camera for a spin as the rest of us play POLITIKO. All pictures from this point onwards were taken by her, for a change in pace. Interestingly, this picture shows you just how big The Bee, Publika, is, and how music venues in the Klang Valley have evolved.<\/p>\n


\nToken Sabahan plays with the Sabah party.<\/p>\n


\nAshley will have none of that, and steals voters!<\/p>\n


\nMelissa plays with the camera and not the cards.<\/p>\n


\nRandom bar shot.<\/p>\n


\nThe Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA versus somebody’s finger.<\/p>\n


\nOut of focus, but hilarious! Some voter stealing must’ve been going on!<\/p>\n


\nNevertheless, the head of the island of Borneo still won.<\/p>\n


\nCrinkle Cut +1. (I’d resumed camera operator operating here.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
