Kia Symphonic Blast: Extreme Blasting Weekend – The Damage Report!

ricenote: taken out from the comments pages and put here for a proper read by you people. Kia! Thanks boss, and yes give us some pixs to put here also lah.

It was held on Sunday evening and the reason behind the jamm session is to gather all the bands involved to share ideas and knowledge among us, the bands, the crowds and everyone! The combination of all extreme music community from grindcore to death metal at its best! The crowd also can discover a new talent from the scene and uncompromising band from the land of nowhere! Extreme Blasting Weekend surely achieves its objective plus unexpected crowd attended.

Sharing the same stage (there is no stage at all); the same smokey atmosphere and enjoys the music delivered by every band. 90 pax (including band members) turned up to the show which is very-very surprising for us; crowds whom come from different musical genres and backgrounds and origins…Klang Valley (Subang, Port Klang, Shah Alam, Ampang of course, Cheras, Rawang, Putrajaya); Northern region (Ipoh, Perak) and Southern region (Pasir Gudang, Seremban, Nilai, Rembau, Tampin).

We would like to express our gratitude to all of our friends who’d attended the show and supports all the bands who were playing all night long. Without you we’re nobody! We were really glad for your undying support; the supports from the crowd, the discipline of the bands involved are really appreciated as well!!! We will be doing it again in the future, so hopefully it will be better than this time! Whoever wrote your details in our mailing list, be sure to check your inbox soon and wait for a good news from us about what is happening soon!!! Till then, take care and cheers!

Report: World Press Freedom Day Gig Day #1

I missed out on most of the bands. When we got there Lurks was onstage and the sun was beating down rather fierce, forcing the crowd to hide under the shades, mostly away from the stage front. Then we went up to CM’s foodcourt for lunch.

When we were done and went downstairs again, I think Mushbuttons was playing. It’s one of those Indonesian indie-rock thing. Not my cuppa. After them there was Project Ei8ht, some kinda radio-friendly rock band, pretty polished musically and could have been one of those cover bands plying the club circuits (but I’m sure they were playing originals). They played a longer set which saved my band from going up early without our drummer who were trapped in a traffic jam somewhere near Leboh Ampang.
