Mayshine 2010
Posted by Albert, 3:53:24 AM 31st August 2010 in Pictures, Music


13th March 2010: Moonshine: A Homemade Music Show at Laundry Bar.


This earnest lass is Lauren Hobler.


All the way from New York!


Local boy lah macha. Sound man and the fan.


And there's the bluesy folkster Isaac Entry!


He does look like he's lost a bit of weight.


Bring on the lounge beats...


...and some jazzy syncopated funk...


...and you get the incredible Granadilla Band.


Add a fair share of licks too!


Sweet MIDI guitar.


No one can resist the jazz-funk junk!


Faz looks at you knowingly - she knows she got tone.


Too much for Nisha!


Fook; bass.


The band was Thing One...


...featuring powerful songbird Najwa!


They too play an assortment of styles in the funky jazzy soul rock kind of way. This is a very cool metal drum which has different-sized indentations, which create different notes!


"Eh sing along lah!"

8-4 Rock On The Floor
Posted by Albert, 3:31:42 AM 29th August 2010 in Pictures, Music


8th April 2010: A relatively band-heavy instalment of Moonshine: A Homemade Music Show down at Laundry Bar.


This was Tenderfist...


...which I could describe as slower synthpop in the vein of New Order.


Great stuff!


Next up was Sphere.



I'd call it shoegazing...


...but happy.


Wide open my Vivitar 24mm F2.0 makes me wish for the speedy arrival of the Zeiss 24mm F2.0. Fortunately it isn't priced anywhere near my Zeiss 135mm F1.8!


Then came a band I hadn't seen in ages - KLPHQ!


This was definitely a harder night.


Last I counted, they should be the Kuala Lumpur Post-Harmonic Quintet.


Hooray for on-stage lighting.


Reza introduces the next band...


The Otherside Orchestra!


Gotta love his shirt. I don't even have one myself!


Disco rock and roll.


"Eh bro why doesn't this part of the song have any keyboard parts?"


Gotta love their disco light! Sadly the two lights they also brought to project from the front could not work.


Here's Eddy looking all samurai...


...and Badak with a cool shirt, and Diyana! (Hey Happy Birthday!)

(Edited - it's Badak, not Rudy, heh.)

March Rock Anthems
Posted by Albert, 12:18:47 PM 24th August 2010 in Pictures, Music


"Hey so I hear we're in for a good show tonight!"


Joshua Foong brings a mellower set.


MC Reza and his gig - Moonshine: A Homemade Music Show, at Laundry Bar, a certain 11th of March 2010!


As always, the full bands come after the acoustic performers.


Ash (who I haven't gotten to see in his other band!)


No this is not Car Crash Hearts - this is the rocking Rashdan Harith!


Yes he solos on an acoustic guitar.


This guitar lick is hot! No, literally, it is hot ouch!


Then came Benchmarx, rock and roll!


He looks like a member of The Scorpions. They're a bunch of teachers from an international school somewhere in KL.


This guy also looks like a member of The Scorpions.


Jimmy North, also a standup comic, brings an energetic frontman persona!


Ah, how lovely them videotapin' ladies are.


I don't even remember what this effect was but I think it was a siren. Pretty darn cool!


This guy has killer chops and sings a bang on rendition of Bon Scott. Or was it more like Brian Johnson? I don't remember. Heck I didn't even realize there were two (major) vocalists in AC/DC until I looked it up today!

This video can help you can identify the difference (Brian is the grouchier sounding guy with cap; Bon has a slightly more classic rock voice.)




Jimmy raps too, in one of those old school Aerosmith crossover ways!


To keep up the high voltage rock, Pitbull Inc. was next!


Man you gotta hear Steven. One powerhouse vocalist he is!


Gotta love that weathered sunburst top look.


"I don't know why I looked, but I did." Thank you!


Steven dude you gotta do that Queen cover you're fantastic at! Next round yo.

Stereopath And Alda's 27th
Posted by Albert, 1:00:53 AM 23rd August 2010 in Pictures, Music


It was Stereopath down at Laundry Bar a certain 25th of February 2010. Here are Deserters!


Next up was Car Crash Hearts.


This is what happens when you stack too many effects. :D


Alda, whose birthday was that day!


Color was weird on this one so I made it monochrome.


Naked Breed, hard-rocking.


Since I shot this in landscape orientation I had difficulty piecing it in the montage.


Cool portrait-shirted band...


...Flop Poppy!


Charlotte, Broken Scar and Rashdan Harith!


Birthday boy and uncut cake.


Birthday boy cutting cake.


A long-haired me, a long-haired Clara and a short-haired grrrlrocker Rina Omar.


I'm-not-your-videotapin'-mama Mahani, me and Rina!


I could never remember her name but I recognize her by her tattoo. (Obviously, the upsized wings need some coloring to hide the tiny wings.) Oh and Avril Chan!


Rudy with a cool shirt, Bo with a cool Spongebob, and Nick with a cool shirt.


Ozzy Osbourne and dD!


Here goes, pictures, almost exactly half a year after.


Kevin, David and Cindy!


Alda: Wah you want me to drink that? It's on fire!
Clara: Aiyo what is this lah you're 27 already!


Clara: Come lah I help you.


The guys sang Happy Birthday again, and it was like 10 years ago since we got to Bonggol!

Here's over a year's worth of Twitter posts, which I have not repeated on my blog. The reason why I don't like Twitter or any external content-storing site other than my blog is because there is always that risk that the content you have on whichever site will become inaccessible someday.

Okay, so I've ranted about this before!

In other updates, I've had a Sony Alpha NEX-5 and Sony E 16mm F2.8 since 1st July 2010 and a Sony LA-EA1 A-mount to E-mount lens adapter since 3rd July 2010 and no time to blog about it, or even to blog about the Sony Alpha 290, Sony Alpha 390, Sony Handycam NEX-VG10 HD interchangeable lens camcorder (the model name almost sounds like a NEX vertical grip heh!) Oh and the fantastic X-Rite ColorChecker Passport.

Anyway, here goes:
