Your glow sticks could redeem you a free drink. If your outfit was rad, you were the star of the night. It was all about good music and chique style, and no one better than PitaHati to open up a night as such.
PitaHati was a band that played a blend of indie rock/experimental, with dips to really dark and ambient tunes to hip and uber funky basslines. They consisted of a great bassist, a great guitarist and a great drummer. 3-pieced bands are known for being strangely great, and this again proved the point :) A really good choice in putting them first, it really got the crowd going, even if the electric did go off midway through their set. :P
It was a night of laughter, dancing, drinking, and just enjoying a night sans worry. Next up was Dance Punk Party's baby, Kaos Beat, who have been with us since the earliest shows. Always sounding different each time I catch them, their first song "Heaven" was enough to get the crowd bobbing around on their toes. Known for their absolutely lovestruck and heartbroken lyrics, Kaos Beat's music however spins an air of uplifting beats for the crowds to smile about.
The atmosphere was filled with glee and complete euphoria and each band that came up to the stage were happily received by the crowd. Those with their own posies and fans such as Partimelovers and The Fridays played amazing sets, showing just how much they have learnt of their great potentials and strived for it. This DPP was a good step up for not only the organizer, my best friend, Jarrod, but also for the bands, who have all intensively improved since the last show.
Next up: Enrai/Zeue/M.O.I.S.T! With the lack of practise and jamming sessions, I felt I screwed up Enrai's set big time, with all the rolling mistakes and all. The rest of the band were great, and Ija didn't forget his lyrics, but I pulled the band down, sorry duuudes!
Zeue was a new band I have never seen before but with familiar faces inside. :P Zul Partime Lovers changed and went from Joy Division to tennis player-style. HAHA. :P Super cute. A good small set by the good small band, would love to catch more of them.
M.O.I.S.T. I played better this time, but the tambourine decided to go all funny and attack me as I hit the high-hat. HAHA. A good short set, really enjoyed myself a lot better but still wished I didn't screw up as much. "Tuna" was once again the song to end our set with a few singalongs and lots of people moving to the music. :)
And finally Ben's Bitches was the last band and ended the night with a complete manic sense of liberty. The set where almost everybody in the crowd let go and went crazy. My tambourine ended up in the vocalist's hand as he screamed and yelled, almost CrimeScene-like. If I was drunk I would've mistakened him as Nobeat. HAHA. Ben's Bitches had an insertion of a female vocalist as well, and boy she was pretty good, screaming and screeching into the microphones. Really awesome tunes from the band again, but I usually prefer their set when Ben himself is singing..Haha.
Spent the last half an hour dancing to Xes Xes Loveseat's DJ tunes, sad to see the place to empty, for he spun some pretty awesome shiz. Headed to a mamak stall after chats about tattoos and Ariel Peterpan's porn-ness and all that. Ate, talked, laughed, went home, watched movies. Slepptttt.
Where did Celine put her dancing shoes?
