In League LIVE in KL @ Noisy Studio

Headed to PWTC apartments to pick In League up from their room straight to Noisy for a soundcheck around 6pm. And I must say, I was already blown away by their music even before the gig started. Watttafeckkk.

Chilled at the next door mamak with the dudes for a while and listened to their stories about their tour and Perth before they decided to head back to change into shorts... Noisy's hellbound temperature was a bit too unbearable. So they chow-ed and Moe and I waited for the crowd to arrive.

Ein arrived and chilled with us as our friends came over too, and the gig started around 9pm. First up was This Sunday, who won the attention of In League for playing a cover of Underoath during soundcheck.

Their set was obviously as good as it gets, TS will never fail a performance. Didn't play my ultimate favourite song but glad they played In Different Shells!























































Next up, Thy Regiment. Strong, hyped, crazy, manic; the 5 boys really know who to tear up the stage regardless of how small or big the crowds are. They live for the music they play and they aren't afraid to show it.






















































Us and T-shirt!

















Collages played through a frivolous and speedy set, toying with the adrenaline of the crowd and their intricate use of guitar works making their set more than just a normal hardcore set. Never disappointing, Collages is definitely a band I would say is the best newcomer so far.




















































Massacre Conspiracy didn't leave any space for the crowd to breath, and picked up right where Collages left off and blew the steam off every head in the audience. Always up for an MC16 set, I was well pumped for their set and didn't even care about annoying boys two=stepping to the wrong rhythm. :D










































Asthalin was the last to open for the night before In League took hold of the stage, and they were not the least. Soaring through another successful set of amazing timely breakdowns and intricate build ups filled with strong drum and guitar works, Asthalin and Massacre Conspiracy reached out to even the Australians boys, who mentioned later on that the last two acts before them were definitely killers. Yeayy :)















































In League. For guys who looked so young, I will only say one thing: Talented. The screams sounded more mature than the vocalist looked, and the sound of what they called "post-hardcore" really went out of ordinary for the local crowd. Not typically filled with breakdowns and jengjengjengs, In League's music is underlaid with a melodious string of vocals and keyboards. I enjoyed the set, for it was something different (for once) in our scene, and I went straight to buying their shirt/CD HAHA. bodoh.
































































After a set of 35 minutes, In League ended their set and went back to the backroom to pack up and prepare for photo harassment (hehe). Overall, despite a turn-out that didn't pack the whole of Noisy Studio, the gig was enjoyable anyway, because the ones who did attend went all out for all the bands who performed. A real sense of unity going on that night.






















































After everything was packed, we said our goodbyes and drove In League back to the apartment. Chilled for a bit, they contemplated on going clubbing but it was already 2 hours before the club closed so we thought there was really no point. So we headed out to Alor and ate and drank til 5 in the morning. Fun.


























Celine hopes In League had fun in KL.
