The first Moonshine<\/a> of 2007 on the 11th of January had many greeting me “Happy New Year!<\/i>” although my happiness subsided 10 days ago.<\/p>\n


\nWho the heck is Paolo Delfino<\/b>, and why are girls speaking lushly of this acoustic singer-songwriter?<\/p>\n


\nOddstars<\/b>, oo la la.<\/p>\n


\nHehe the drummer smiles too!<\/p>\n


\nGuest vocalist.<\/p>\n


\nKaren Nunis Blackstone<\/b>. Folk rocker.<\/p>\n


\nWho has rather otai<\/i>-looking members…<\/p>\n


\n…like the great bluesman Julian Mokhtar.<\/p>\n


\nFunk\/jazz rockers Seven<\/b> will always be recognizeable by afroed Bobo…<\/p>\n


\n…who is also a member of Cosmic Space Munkys<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nAnd not forgetting the saxophone.<\/p>\n


\nRandom shots; top-left and top-right: Rachel; bottom-left: Athira who looks cool; bottom-right: the Laundry Bar blogger<\/a> (what, you thought she really wanted to take your picture because you were sitting around looking cute?) and Eddy<\/a> the hard rocker.<\/p>\n


\nThe next day I headed to Jamasia for its relaunching.<\/p>\n


\nThe Epiphone SG guitar that once hung from the ceiling now had a grander spot.<\/p>\n


\nThe bar relocated to the back. Debbie<\/a> makes AWESOME<\/b> cocktails, with interesting names like Naughty Chocs, Twist And Dip, Electric Berries and Do The Haka. There’s also something that blows the McDonalds McFlurry – the Snickers Pimp. Like melted Snickers!<\/p>\n

If you tire of mamak drinks in Desa Sri Hartamas, come over to Jamasia for funky fruity\/sweet alcoholic delights.<\/p>\n

Where is Jamasia anyway?<\/b><\/p>\n

Behind the Maybank in Desa Sri Hartamas.<\/p>\n


\nGuitar!<\/p>\n

Jamasia is now open 6 days a week, closing only on Monday. Tuesdays are jam nights, where anybody can bring an instrument and play. There’s a gig every other night, including Reza Salleh<\/a>‘s new Feedback series.<\/p>\n


\nSpeaking of which, his band played for the relaunch.<\/p>\n


\nMelina!<\/p>\n


\nReza and gang. Finally got to flash Jamasia with my digital SLR!<\/p>\n


\nOne Buck Short<\/b> also did a short punk rock set.<\/p>\n


\nSomething I rarely blog about in Jamasia gigs (but is tradition) is the drinking game, where the winner gets a jug of beer. Adam, the usually malevolent-looking screamer of Dragon Red<\/a>, looks so cute with emo glasses!<\/p>\n

Oh, and the best thing about Jamasia is that it is now non-smoking, like The New Paul’s Place. Smokers will have to sit at the stairway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
