The Gigging Takahina

Long time no blog fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.........

Yeah, as u see, Takahina lately has been unusually addicted to something, and that is Hard Gay san... okaaayy.... Just to let you all have a witness...





Well, the subtitled ones are by Stupid Fish, and it's not too bad a translated piece of work also. Yeah.... Okaayyy...

But let's get away from that yeah?

On Vesak Day, which is 2 days before I'm blogging right now, Takahina performed in a Cafe Bar?? That place sells coffee and stuff, and also sells alcohol. Okaaayyy. Then song song is that it has a jamming studio on the second floor, a toilet whereby it's a room with urinal and a cubicle for shitting, and you can lock that room.

So to mean, Just one guy wanna urine, he can lock away the door to prevent other people from coming in just because he wants to use 1 urinal. Sui man!!!!!!!

Then hor, if you are considerate, like Junrong is, u can go and open door big big while u urine, then everyone can see. That is if they wanna see lah. SONG BO!!!

Anyway, that day was kinda weird.

On that day, I only invited Rurouni over cause I know they have possible interest in the type of music being played. Then since people entering have to pay, I didn't wanna trouble others too much lah hor.

My band reached there first, even though we're the last band. Fucked up. Make us look like sibei kiasu and very xiao pai like that. Next time must act Dai Pai, arrive late and bui song face all over. They won't dare kao pei with you one.

Anyways, soon after 2 other bands arrived and both the bands have a M initial. They seem very friendly with each other, or am I just mistaken. But then lah, they were sitting in another position while our band just sit in a corner. Hyde tried to greet them, but tio DAO. Sad. From then on, Takahina didn't really like them as human.

They may be good, but it doesn't mean we have to respect them humanly. I can respect them musically. Yes.

Den, we waited for a fairly long time. Waited for Rurouni to appear without Ben. Kinda expected, if Ben come oso pai seh. Cause need to pay $$ ar. Desmond Chan said his friends dun wanna come. Ok lah, if they come Takahina oso dunno how to handle. Don't ever expect me to like go there and say..

"Eh, friends of Desmond Chan! Thanks for coming to pay us money ar!"

Cause u see ar, this Gig is almost like, earning the money of your friends. Whatever entrance fee earned will be given back to us in terms of transfer payment. Pai Seh mah like that, Takahina may be thick faced, but not to the extent of begging friends to give u money.

Eventually, alot of people started to turn up. Including a lot of Cosplayers. Belted dress, high stockings, metal chain... YIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
But then hor, Takahina is too shy to talk to them ar... even though they are Nika's friend lah, but then... haiz......... I found a few quite attractive also... haiz...... Never talk to them.... wasted.... haiz.....

Then anyway, the performance soon started. I shall give a low down on how I feel.

1st band: M something something.


Overall, this band was good, I don't sense anything bad, and it's good music overall. Visual performance wise was good as well, not disorganised, not messy. And drummer isn't too bad as well. Timing well kept. I like them. Vocals gave tired I guessed around half time, he went a little zao sia.

However, Rong and someone else didn't like them too much. And throughout talking about them. In valid though I feel.

Rate: 4/5 for a local band standard.


2nd Band: Also M something something.

I missed their first music cause my vox told me to go get a drink. WTF. NVM, I earn tax from you, earn another bottle of water. Yeah.... But when I came back, they were playing music which I LIKED!

Firstly, Driver's High. Yeah, all anime fans. This is the opening theme of GTO. GREAT TAKAHINA ORGASM!!!!!!!! However, after hearing it a while. I kinda changed mood. Most of the members are ok and on time. But something went terribly wrong.

The drummer.

Hohohoho, Drummer san... even though u around same size as me... big big fat fat, Don't think I give u chance ar. Cause i heard the music alot of times before, I can easily remember the drum beats of the song. Mistakes done frequently and possibly the drummer is unconfident? He looks tense man. Then also the main drum set keeps on shifting in front. Hohohohoh, pedal too hard ar uncle. Then also timing is off. If the drums are good, I tell u this will be one of the band I like alot, mainly cause they play music I like man.

Then after that, they play Rurouni Kenshin's 1/3 Junjou na Kanjou. Hohohohoho... U're in trouble drummer san... CAUSE TAKAHINA BELONGS TO THE RUROUNI GROUP, DO YOU THINK I WON'T KNOW THE SONG??? HOHOOOHOHOHOHOHO.... Once again, the problem lies with the drummer with timing and mistakes apparent. He also bastardised the fills and rhythmes a little, but that's ok cause Takahina does that too.

After that, they went on to play 2 other songs which Takahina had little knowledge of. Didn't sound too bad, but drums still has problems.

Rate: 3/5 thanks to the last 2 songs which pulled up your points. If not the drummer could cause a fail.


Next band: REI

Well, the most VK band. Everyone has face powdered and the drummer looks like some black african getting sold to US. Cool.

Overall, they did a total of 8 songs, 6 original, 2 covers. Le foret was happy. Why?
Cause we can slack more and waste more time. And their last song was awfully long. Wow.

Anyway, nothing much to say. Compared, I still prefer the first band. Also, drummer san of Rei. I don't feel a double bass is needed. Instead it messes up the whole timing at times. Consider that k.

Rate: 3.5/5 for the participation in originals.


Last Band: Le Foret


One instead comment from the start by Vox san, 1 hit KO the image of the band.

"Hi, We're Le foret, We're new, so don't expect too much from us."

WAH..... GG!!! WHAT DID TAKAHINA PRACTICE SO LONG FOR SIA!!! Anyway, we began.

First song... sucks imo. VOX timing went off. I Can't hear the bass and guitars

Second song... sucks imo. VOX didn't sing around half time cause off time. Bass complained drummer is too slow. I agree... maybe.

Third song... sucks imo. Don't know why it sucks. But my self opinion is very low liao by this time. And also I hate this song more and more.

Fourth song... sucks imo. Because there was no splash cymbal there and overall Takahina did a bad job of producing the wanted effect during jamming.

Hai. Ok, I'll produce the report lah.

Throughout the whole gig, I can't hear anybody at all. ESP the bass, can't hear. Why? No feedback. Even if there is, I can only hear echo due to sound waves bouncing off the walls at the back. U can't hear them, naturally timing confirm off.

Secondly, the arrangement of the band is messed up. Vocalist have lots of space, guitars and bass are stuck together. Like Acapalla like CH said. Why is that so? Wires are too damn short to move around at all man! All looks like entangled shit.

This scene reminds me of 2 things.

1, during Takako concert whereby the 3 on the right are accompany singers, Takako at center, acoustic guitar at left.

2, Opera. Paparotti at left, ballet dancer at center, accompanying high pitchers at right.

Great stuff man, this shall be the style of Le Foret.

At the end of the whole thing, Takahina heard 2 sides of reviews. But because it's too long, Takahina will summer the whole shit.

First, from his friends.

Throughout the whole thing, guitar are messy, Vox never sing and too visual. Bass maybe too soft. Drum has slight mistakes, but overall ok.

Second, from someone in Lucify from Defense of the Ancient.

Rhythm section has problem. Bass and drums never coordinate well. No comments on guitar, vox has great potential and rooms for improvement.

WTF, why is there such a big contrast in the terms of comments?

My confidence which was supposedly quite ok, fallen to a great depth after the whole thing. In the end, Takahina could be the one with the mistake after all.

Flattery fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then also, Takahina doesn't know or hear any comments in drums at all. Frankly and admittedly, Rong and Benji are not assumed experts in drums. I don't know bout that ga.... no, guy from lucify, but then in the end, Takahina is freaking confused man.

Hyde said it's ok for a virgin band. But then, it's cheebye. In Takahina's opinion...

"Never act like a virgin. Even if you're really a virgin, the performance must be experienced."

In the end, I don't like our end performance. I see CH, Benji and Rong's face after the whole thing. Their face not really happy. I instantly mentally say,

"SIAO LIAO CBBBBB FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!"

But then in the end, each band receives $105, so Takahina got $21.

However, ytd when Takahina went to drum lesson, his drumstick finally broke.

Trip to find a good drumstick = $1
Average price for a desired pair of drumstick = $15
Treating Rurouni to drinks = $5
Broken heart due to good friend Promark 7A drumstick spoilt = Priceless

So, in the end. $21 all gone. CAN'T EVEN BUY A CD!!!

"WAH PIANG, DUN FUCK WITH ME LAH CHEEBYE!!"

Anyway, before the gig began, Takahina was requested a produce a photo for Lime due to DJ party.

Wah, LIME LEH!! STANDARD MAGAZINE WHEREBY NOBODY READS!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Then, Takahina looked for a few pieces of photo.

TAKAHINA LOOKS SO FUCKING WRONG!!! WTF IS THIS CB!!! ALL COOL COOL ONE, TAKAHINA LOOK LIKE SPASTIC KID WHO CAN'T STOP LAUGHING, LIKE WEN JUN, THIS IS BAD!!

Instanly, Takahina got worried... this is not good. Thus so I went to look for a better pic.

Wah... delicious gossiping bad scene of me. Erotic man. This will do.

No lah, kidding. Takahina may like Hard Gay, but he's not Hard Gay. Time to look for another picture!!!

But then, after searching for so long... Takahina can't find a suitable one...how sia....

Then... Takahina go search in the sianner's most favourite website, Friendsters. And... voila...
