Nitrus at Dataran Merdeka

Related to my earlier post on our gig at Dataran Merdeka…

Nitrus 1

Here’s Nitrus playing their set. I think these guys have really good songs, and I heard that their lead vocalist, Zul quit after they made their album. Man that is tragic… used to play with Zul in a band, and that guy can really sing. I was there with Justin (MusicCanteen) and Suren and I was impressed by their sound and stage presence.

Also, they got the better pictures :) Look at this one below… too bad we were playing in daylight?

Superbar at Dataran Merdeka

In conjunction with the vintage car show co-organized by Naza Motors, Music Canteen did a gig and invited us to play. What a venue! Smack in front of Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, a historical building at the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

This is perhaps the biggest stage we’ve had, and not to mention only the second time performing in broad daylight… shish… and the first time in front of a bloody court :)

Thought of playing Rage’s “*u^k The Police” but on second thought..

The Aftermath of the Kong-ed PC

Ok, I’m not exactly in the best mood to write but I’m also not about to drag the story from the previous post on and on. So suffice to say that after some creative gadget swapping (let’s not confuse the less IT literate among us, which includes me), it turns out that the hard disk wasn’t affected by the lightning strike. Yeay!!

Anyway, the incident also brought out a hidden side in one band mate. We had no idea Sen Kiat was a graffiti expert!! Check out his work of art (done while waiting for the PC to be revived).


Okay, so we’re exaggerating about the artistic tendencies of the band, but hey……considering the circumstances, it was something. Haha…

Speaking of graffiti, we also received some stuff from our younger fans (wah, got hard core fans already!). Check it out!


So if you guys have any spur of creativity and happen to think of superbar while you’re at it, do send it to us. Receive recognition you shall. Reap off millions of bucks in mobile phone wallpaper downloads through your creativity we will! Any doubts? Let us know.

(P.S - So much for not having the mood to write)

now that was close

as some of you guys would probably have known, we’ve moved up a gear in coming up with the much longed for debut EP. so moving ahead with the plan, we headed over to Senzr Studio last nite to lay down some bass lines for “out of body” & “new years day”. spirits being high as we kinda move closer and closer to completing the whole recording ritual, needless to say everybody’s pumped up.

and then, bamm! circumstances take a weird turn for the worse. the story is sen kiat’s computer got toasted from a lightning incident last nite. now, for the uninitiated, you’d probably think that that’s no biggie! trivial stuff, just replace it. well….inside that computer we had about a year and a half’s worth of material for recording, countless of new partially completed tracks and stuff. now that’s some pretty heavy shit going on.

sighhh……

you can probably picture the kancheong-ness that caused. and as a testament to it, this is how we reacted. sen kiat called for back up and got it. bala sang renditions of “helter skelter” and found new musical uses of for personal care items. and i took photos.

agony written all over

no slide? no problem!

more about what happened in the next posting. mean time, more pictures for everyone to ignore.

all the guitars in the world couldn’t save the day….bala’s el diablo missing from this pic
