Hectic...

Chiller Plant Gig

It's been a pretty hectic month for me. Ever since coming back from Sabah, i have been pretty busy with the band, PG 165. A couple of weeks after Sabah, we played for a wedding. Then a couple of weeks later on a weekend. We had a gig in KL. I had anticipated this gig for 3 months prior to it. It had always been on my mind to perform our self written material for a small crowd...it's easier to connect and build friendships when the crowds isn't too big.

Hmm, previously i would write extensively on our gigs, but now all those writing should appear in the PG 165 blog which i have been updating more frequently then my personal blog. Anyway thanks to Joshua Chiam, Wee Liem and Mel for the hospitality. And thanks to the Melakans for coming to support us...Here are some pics.






We did not do any covers that night...but played our own material...of 7 songs.

You're Everything to Me
My World
I Will
My Friend
You
Work of Art
Falling Over.

2nd Malaysian Revival Songwriting Competition - Award Presentation - 3rd December 2006.

Just a week prior to Chiller Plant we got an invitation to attent this ceremony. We actually had no idea how grand or glitzy it was suppose to be. In fact initially we thought we were overdressed when we drove past City Harvest, KL and saw ppl in jeans n T-shirts. But one peek inside sent us back to fetch our coats.

It's actually a competition organized by Star Maker for the advancement of Chirstian music. This is their second installment. Thanks to Raj our manager, we managed to get a chance to be exposed to the industry. We were a bit late, so we couldn't go in immeadiately but had to chill outside. Then the ushers ushered us in and I saw ourselves walking down the red carpet walkway with the camera giving live feed on the giant screen in front...oooh....and we sat behind Altered Frequency whom i had made friends with Agnel their drummer at the Chiller Plant gig.

There was about 19 songs. You can vote for each song after it is presented like how they vote in those reality tv shows. The person performing may be the composer or may be a chosen singer to sing the composer's song. It was entertainng. They had this band called Army of Three playing as the house band.

After the song presentation, it was followed by a musical play that implemented all the 19 nominated songs in their play. Pretty impressive. But they played the minus one versions instead of accompanied by a live band.


PG 165 with Diana Wee, 1st runner up for the competition. Somehow she reminds me of my Alor Setar friend who's persuing her music in Australia...Charis Chua.

PG 165 all dressed up...hahaha..

Oh yea, it's been a busy month. It's less than a week to our next gig in Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka for the combined Bless the City in conjuction with Christmas. All this hecticness sometimes puts me in a foul mood when i'm running behind schedule. So sorry if in the running i had snapped at anyone.
