angela surf city - the walkmen

So, it's the last night of myself being all laid back and think about nothing but what to eat for lunch on the next day.

Yes, my last day on being a bum is today and i still have a laptop to be cleaned up as I am blogging now. Since what was said to be picked up on a saturday didn't turned out and either any messages came to me about when it's going to be picked up.

And, sorry mother i'm gonng bust your electric bill for today. just a little. 3 laptops being on at the same time. mmm life.

how did the last of my so called bumming life ending?

high. i guess.
yup. went for switchfoot came and we went. we were pretty shocked that the venue was rather un-rock-gig-lookalike. setting was modest and all but by the end of everything it was awesome.
most of us were in chucks.
new friend.
macbeth doing their bit. check out the sales promoter. epic.
someone had bumped into another one with the same shoes.
gracing around with her one and only light stick in the whole gig where she recycled it from maroon 5's concert from the night before.

to be frank, that might just be the most kiasu gig i've ever been to not because of the crowd because the fact i was there 5 hours inclusive of 3 hours before the gig starts and 2 hours during the gig. i never stood this long for so long my back started aching. signs of aging indeed.

but we were there early with a purpose, our tickets were free standing on the front section and of course since we paid for it we need to get the best of what we paid for,

FRONT ROW!

i'm happy to say it all paid off since we were at least the 5th row back to the max. (almost could touch jon foreman, just because everyone was pushing like mad from behind.)

since we were there early..
check out the crowd behind us. yup. happy that we're at the front but not that happy some kids just do not know how to bloody line up.

there were some delay in timing (since this is malaysia everything gets delayed other than debts) between the meet-and-greet session and soundcheck for both bands.

while they were sound checking everyone could hear or tell what song it was, pretty damn good too and the crowd started to sing along to it. nevermind about not getting to see them soundcheck, the fact we could hear how good was greater to none.

at 8pm or so the gates were opened. hurried up to the front. some last and final checkings were done. trust me even the sound check people from switchfoot were cooler than normal people or maybe it's just me. heh.

they had an opening act by the name of Bus Company or in short Busco click like on their facebook profile. i had doubts before them coming out i actually saw one of their cover songs in video i thought i didn't really like them but after their performance yesterday. changed my mind. in future i hope they keep rocking out like that night. without further a due,
busco.

they've aced 5 songs on-stage maybe a downside, i couldn't hear what he was singing but again probably is because we were just too up front in the crowd.

the sound was great.
busco in a whole (minus the bassist, he wasn't in the frame).
drummer beatboxes.


there the bassist. all by himself.


rocking to their every bit of glory to share the same stage as switchfoot.

busco also announced they will be releasing an album soon enough. so stay tuned to their news on facebook, twitter or maybe junk.

again head on to their facebook page have a listen some of their songs.

after a 5 song head start on how epic the night would be it was their turn to take on the stage and all of us was waiting for (some) 3 hours or (some) 30 minutes. it was them,


yes, them.

well apparently one of us had research thoroughly and gotten the setlist accurate. we could almost cry in and screamed even more since the set list was right and some of their better songs were played so well live.

i don't think i need to type anything anymore, for those who is reading this and was there let the pictures speak for themselves.























despite the pushing and an afro dude stood right in front of me, we sweat ourselves to the best things in the year.
here they are again. still i cannot get a decent picture of the keyboardist. damn it.

excuse the grainy photos. i'm only handling a G9 for the moment and maybe forever until i have the tendency to change a new one.

till the next great rock gig/concert. probably it would be incubus in july the 23rd.

they've greatly rocked us out till the last drip of our sweat.

\m/ YEAHHH!!

and god, tomorrow i've gotta start working again and be whiney also sad about life once more.
