Time: 8pm
Date: 2nd July 2005
Venue: MS Mini Auditorium
OK let’s kick start the show, Metal start off “Robot” to a finally approx 50+ crowd…
Who were there? Signature Band, Ah Tiong, Elvis, Ah Yeow, Last Minute Band, Ah Chuan, my sister, kaevin……..
Second song was “Bubble Tea”, hey look at Metal’s face, what’s he tariking?
no sox… fine
Last song before we start our dialogue with the audience: DO MI DO, not bad at all, those kids are really fast learners as they sang along well. cool..
Introducing the members: on guitar ah suan, on bass, (hooi grab the mike and said quickly, my name is ah hooi, guess he thought i was going to say “his name is BASSIST”)
And the very-happy-ah Kai Jiunn raised his arms to set his presence.
Basically, we talked on our band history, how we got to know each other, how the band was formed, and parts of the many difficulties which we have been going through all these years and made us what we are today.
We shared some humble experience with the appreciative crowd, touching on topics such as Set up of a band, Role of a band leader, Objectives, Do’s and Dont’s of Jemming, Importance of Metronem, Tuners, Commitment, Ear Training, and importance of knowing more than one instrument.
We hope we did our little part in helping those kids out there to move forward, inspiring them to play more music and in the correct attitude of music education approach.
As usual, we crabbed ourselves off for almost 50minutes before we noticed we were running out of time…
So the show continues…
KJ, the calmest guy in the auditorium, starts off “Sor Lou”.
Second last song was Ciak Ka Ki
And Uglymen finally signed off with the final song at approx 9.20pm
