Monsoon Vol. 9 @ Laundry Bar

This Thursday night went by very quickly; went to KL Central around 7 to pick up Azam and Jonas to take them to Laundry after dropping Moe first to grab his dinner with the rest of BeforeAfters (Nin, Ezzart and Afiq).

Arrived at around 8.30pm after a stupidly massive jam and headed to a still empty table. The dinner hadn't arrived yet since I left Moe there. HAHAHA. Aduh. Typical. Chilled til about 9.30pm and BeforeAfters headed on stage to play.

I was both photographer and videographer (my camera and Nindy's mom's camera) so I didn't really have the full ability to properly bob around and sing along like I would've hoped, not to mention I was still in a pretty snappy mood.

Played a half an hour set, BeforeAfters did an extremely good job for a first show in Laundry Bar. The sound sucked a few times, the bass was giving too much of feedback for certain intros, but overall it was an extremely good show.










































































Chilled and talked whilst the next bands went up, and managed to catch Farai Hughrie and Free Deserters. This was probably the most epic moment I had experienced in a long time, when Farai walked on stage and Jonas says "I think I've seen this band before..."
I met him a few days back in Reggae Bar with The Pints and Ezzart, but thought that was the first day I met him. After Farai walks on stage, we realized we'd actually already met a month before at a show in No Black Tie when I was the ticket holder and he was signing his name on the guest book. HAHAHA. Geez.































Farai Hughrie again put on a very entertaining show with happy chords and melodic rhythms for the audience to chat and drink over. Cute harmonies, cute lyrics, the mood was uplifted by him and his band by the end of the set, in time for Free Deserters to conquer and rock up the place. A good set, still wish they played tunes like Confusion and No Bravery (was that the title)... stuff from their old releases. *sigh*














Was extremely hungry halfway through Free Deserters' set, so decided to pack it up and leave with Azam and Jonas to Q Bistro for a bite and head back for Lab The Rat. BUT, q Bistro was closed, so we decided to ditch altogether and head to Hartamas for some good mamak food. Headed back into KL later on to chill for the night..




















Chilled sessions for a chilled Celine.
