10th August 2006, Laundry Bar, The Curve: Moonshine KL<\/b><\/p>\n


\nZalila Lee<\/b>, with Melina of Tempered Mental<\/a> playing bass.<\/p>\n


\nJerral Khor plays the same instrument Zalila is playing and sports the same cool chicken hairdo that Zalila is having.<\/p>\n


\nBrainhead<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nSlow shutter\/night mode flash; flash, then move the camera about.<\/p>\n


\nDeserters<\/b> were a lot more alive and a lot more indie rock.<\/p>\n


\n…I remember them being atmospheric before; perhaps the other members changed their vibe?<\/p>\n


\nFathulistiwa Soundscapes<\/b>. Fathul lost his badass long hair from before<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nShelley Leong<\/a> and band.<\/p>\n


\nBehind, the never stationary Az Samad<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nI didn’t get to stay to catch the open mike acts. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for some time-space-continuum confusion – a slight jumble! Bottom-left: Az does a tribute to Zack Kim<\/a>; bottom-right: Az duels with Alda<\/a>. Top-left: Cheryl<\/a> and I rock out; top-right: I steal stim-girl<\/i>‘s funky hat. \ud83d\ude00 Yeah, the upper pictures are from the gig below.<\/p>\n


\nWhat gig? Project Bazooka<\/a> presents Rhapsody<\/a> versus Tempered Mental, 17th August 2006, Laundry Bar as well.<\/p>\n


\nThe lighting makes it seem like I desaturated all the other colors, leaving only red.<\/p>\n


\nRhapsody borrowed Tempered Mental’s drummer, Jimmy<\/b>…<\/p>\n


\n…and Tempered Mental’s bassist and vocalist, Melina<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nNicole<\/b> the R&B\/jazz\/soul diva has an amazing voice.<\/p>\n


\nAre you seeing triple?<\/p>\n


\nKhai-Lee<\/a>: Alright, Nicole, it’s now time for Tempered Mental to play.
\nNicole: But… but… I haven’t finished thanking everybody yet!<\/p>\n


\nDear God…<\/p>\n


\n…may everybody who watches buy our CD, coz we’re cool, and if you buy our CD, you’re cool.<\/p>\n


\nHeck, buy as many as the number of people you see in the glass!<\/p>\n


\nAlright, so Jack shreds along to Melina’s progressive rock basslines; he interestingly gets a few bars to throw in a solo where there wasn’t one before.<\/p>\n

So what about the versus bit? I felt conned. Damn you Khai-Lee and Yu-Ri<\/a>! Dashing<\/i> my hopes. Rhapsody and Tempered Mental all got on stage, and Nicole harmonized the backing vocals (while Ywenna played keyboards) to Tempered Mental’s Pure<\/i>. But that was it! And we all wandered around aimlessly after that, since it ended so quickly and early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
