It Was Quite Fun Really...

Soft Pillow Kisses played quite an enjoyably long set last night... we did something like 8 songs i think...

Buzz Night last night was quite not what i expected it to be... Quite a number of people showed up although i was expecting only band members to watch the whole thing...

Dale's Some Gorgeous Accident played first... with him was Sherwin and Ria, both from Sunday Picnic Love Affair... they were tight this time around and the songs were much more "defined" and clearer, not unlike when i first saw them at Route196 where they were obviously trying to feel each other out... I just hope that Dale would allow his voice to be heard more... Their songs does have some killer melodies but he choses to drown them instead...

Candyaudioline followed... i can't really tell if we did well but all i can say is that we did enjoyed playing inspite of countless booboos on our part... and worse i9s that i can't really tell if it was my gadget or my guitar that was fucking up most of the time...

Lazy Lorelei was the 3rd band... They've develop a much more brighter sound... Really clean... Not good really for me... i kinda like the way they were a long time ago... The intruments sounded really raw way back then which was truly a great compliment to their singer's lovely voice... i can't really explain as to why i see the improvement in their sound as more of a let down... it's like comparing bands like The Autocollants and Charming for instance... I'd go for The Autocollants raw sound anytime compared to Charming's polished sound... Don't be alarmed yet, Lazy Lorelei still owns some really neat "indiepop tune" in this part of the globe...

we came in last... as expected, Dennis dished out a decent amount of belly achers to me and Rene's pleasure... the most memorable of which were during "It Will Never Last (Forever)" and "I Don't Know What To Say"... but this does not mean that we sucked last night... in fact i guess we did well... it's just that we find these stage fuck-ups quite enjoyable, specially guitar related fuck-ups... maybe we've gone mad already dew to the numerous line up changes that this band over the years... But seriouly, kudos to Dennis for being such a good sport, allowing Ralph to play for Candyaudioline while he on the otherhand played valiantly each of the 8 Pillow songs heaving a big sigh of relief at the end of each one while bracing himself for the next... Apple to did well too inspite of a really annoying runny nose...

Me, Dennis, Rene and Dale went to Mr. Kabab afterward for some chow and a healthy exchange of thoughts pertaining to the recent Buzz and some really annoying people who are supposedly part of the whole local indie thing... By the way, i'm kinda considering Rene's idea... i'm keeping my fingers crossed, i just hope this works...

That's that for now... hopefully there'll be more Buzz Nights to come...
