\nAre you all ready for a night of magic and music with Auburn<\/a>?<\/p>\n


\nPlush<\/b> starts the show that magical 29th April of 2007 at KL Jamasia.<\/p>\n


\nMelina. Check out her voodoo magic shit she got double neck guitar whoa.<\/p>\n


\nGreen with envy? She got a flying V.<\/p>\n


\nHot bassist.<\/p>\n

They played Tool – Schism<\/i> again, much to my delight, and Smashing Pumpkins – Ava Adore<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I swayed my shoulders side to side drunkenly like Billy Corgan does. No wonder he does that; he doesn’t have any hair to headbang with!<\/p>\n


\nSavy?<\/p>\n


\nSteph sees the light.<\/p>\n


\nAshley Ang! Cute rocker daughter of Alex Ang, mad mad drummer.<\/p>\n


\nShe has magical powers, too! She can banish evil emcees with The Force!<\/p>\n


\nOjie of Stonebay<\/b>, for a few ditties.<\/p>\n


\nThen came the magicians!<\/p>\n


\nThey strolled table to table. The funky lighting is because the flash was pointed at the white wall on my left since the ceiling is painted black. Wireless Pre-flash TTL flash is magic, I tell you.<\/p>\n


\nThis, kids, is what happens when you consume too much junk food.<\/p>\n


\nWHOAAA random ASCII characters! (Sorry, as a programmer I’ll be anal and tell you that this is not binary code.)<\/p>\n


\nIt was an ASCII representation of this very cool Auburn logo. Rotated 180 degrees, it would look the same!<\/p>\n


\nAshley’s mom is particularly proud of her young Jedi daughter.<\/p>\n


\nEddy looks like a schoolboy enthralled by the card tricks.<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for the headliners.<\/p>\n

Pardon me while I catch a giggle, this picture reminds me of a scene in This Is Spinal Tap<\/b> when they play Rock And Roll Creation<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nProgressive alternative rock. Heavy riffs and mellow melodies.<\/p>\n


\nThen there’s the tender ballad. Damn, these guys grow on you. Go get their album Karya. It has inklings of epicness, most reminiscent of The Smashing Pumpkins<\/b>. (Think A Killer In Me<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Izuan Shah with his tender voice keeps the music anchored, despite changing tempo and intensity often. A similiar concept can be seen with Reza Salleh, whose voice keeps driving forward amongst all the rock dynamics behind him.<\/p>\n


\nGuitar effects part one with Hanafi, who seems to be running out of magic green ooze.<\/p>\n


\nHashir, newest member, and effects part two. Necessary for more layers of atmosphere.<\/p>\n


\nIzzat, skinny dude on bass.<\/p>\n


\nAlvin on drums. I think I’ve finally figured out how to capture drummers creatively; with a wide-angle converter reversed in front of my lens!<\/p>\n


\nCrowd, with wireless flash popped. See I wasn’t kidding about them damn black ceilings. And yes, that’s what Jamasia looks like.<\/p>\n


\nClosing time.<\/p>\n
