Groovejunction, a new jazz bar opened on the 15th of March 2007. I came on the 16th, featuring the same launching lineup:<\/p>\n


\nLewis Prasagam<\/b>, Yamaha endorsee and virtuoso drummer. 210mm F4 on the beercan. (Exposure data shall tread the fine line of informativeness without being geek just yet, because I say so.)<\/p>\n


\nI forgot the bassist’s name.<\/p>\n


\nJose Thomas<\/b>! Yeah he owns the bar, yo.<\/p>\n


\nShutter Priority, 1\/6th of a second, ISO1600 with flash, to get trails of color!<\/p>\n


\nDrum solo!<\/p>\n

Jose also did a teeth solo as is customary, and I didn’t catch it on camera. \ud83d\ude41 It’s otherwise hard to catch these veterans anywhere else than the Mont Kiara Sunrise Jazz Fest and say Alexis Bar, Ampang.<\/p>\n


\nI then hopped over to JamAsia, to find a ruckus going on.<\/p>\n


\nReza Salleh<\/a>‘s other gig series – Feedback!<\/p>\n


\nZiel<\/b>, mathematical metal or math-tal, I’d say.<\/p>\n


\nHappy headbangers.<\/p>\n


\nFor once, a healthy ratio between female and male headbangers. Heh.<\/p>\n


\n21st March 2007 – College Night in JamAsia, with Hotscotch<\/b>, a funky soulful rock band. I think.<\/p>\n

This particular gig shoot would be a bit different, because I was showing Xian Jin some shots at KLPAC, which got me thinking about shooting from such a position to get a balance of different colored stage light. The right angles would decrease dramatic shadows.<\/p>\n


\nAndrea can sing. She also always has a smile on her face. Good showmusicianship!<\/p>\n


\nCollin Nunis, blues shredder. Intentionally shot at an angle so that he would be lit evenly by both colors. I also waited for him to step under the light so his hair would be lit!<\/p>\n


\nHe has a most kickass funk vibe, despite having a tiny wah pedal. If you can call that a pedal.<\/p>\n


\nThe drummer looks a bit like Asyraf Sinclair.<\/p>\n


\nI went to watch Kingsley<\/a> rock out.<\/p>\n


\nAgain, I forgot the bassist’s name.<\/p>\n


\nShoes, for you girls.<\/p>\n


\nGuest vocalist.<\/p>\n


\nIrotori<\/b>, this other thrash\/power metal band was supposed to play, but they pulled out, so Hotscotch was made to become a pub band and entertain everybody for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n

I screamed, “FREEBIRD!<\/b>”<\/p>\n

The bassist then went, “Freebird? Did somebody say Freebird?<\/i>” annoyedly.<\/p>\n

I later found out that the rest of the band loved Lynyrd Skynyrd, but the bassist hated the song. I won’t stop shouting “FREEBIRD!<\/b>” until somebody plays it!<\/p>\n

The tradition is that at every rock concert (in America, at least), whenever there is a silence in the performance between songs, a bunch of drunken guys would call for Freebird. Even if it’s a punk rock band on stage.<\/p>\n

The more sporting ones would attempt to cover the 9-minute classic rock triple-guitar-solo fest.<\/p>\n


\nKingsley, master of mini percussive units.<\/p>\n


\nI don’t know who these people are or how to send them the picture so here goes. Someone out there might know them and direct them here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
