Too Phat Medley by Joe Flizzow at Acoustic Nights

Here's the opening song at my session for Joe Flizzow during the Acoustic Nights show at KL Pac a few weeks ago.

It's a compilation of songs from the Too Phat era, which in my opinion, still the best hip-hop group even till today!

Anticipate the release of the full show on Astro and DVD!

Did some studio time with Bell last week for a couple of songs. Though it may sound a bit amateur-ish, this is a star in the making ;) 

Enjoy!

Moments With David Choi In Singapore

During our band's gig over the weekend in the Lion City for Baybeats, we caught up with the most chased after man by tons of females in the Republic!

With the man himself - David Choi

"girls, don't jealous, k?" =p

 

Having the privilege of staying in the same place, we met at the hotel lobby just before dinner time and being the very humble and down to earth man that he is, David spent some time with us for our picture sessions.

Our starstruck moments

If you haven't already checked out his music, here's one of my favorites:

Rentak Juara 2010 Finals - Concert & Band Pictures

Came to support my friends - Car Crash Hearts who made it to the FINALS of this band competition held last nite at the RTM Broadcasting Complex Seremban.

Little *BIG fan* of CCH

It came as a suprise that I was immediately offered a seat reserved for media when usherers spotted me with a dSLR in hand.

So there I was, seated right in front of the stage which made my FIRST full-concert shoot all possible!

Suprised to meet Gerald; our long time rocker-friend since the early days of Youth Alive Msia

EVo; the photography guru who got us all covered. Appreciate all the 'tasty-looking' pix dude!

The whole place was packed as talented solo performers & bands were doing a great job entertaining the crowd while trying to rake in the votes.

The crowd waiting impatiently for the results to be annouced after the performance of the 4 bands.

Featuring The Canticle Singers - a chorale of 19 singers and also guest soloist Tan Wei Han.

VVIP seatings; thanks to Phoebe

Singing songs from award winning compositions to film & stage productions, it's a journey of lush choral music from the 1950's to the present day.

They'll only be performing on 2 sessions (Sat & Sun). Don't miss out the chance to watch these vocal powerhouses in action. Get your tickets here

Here's a pix wit the star; Phoebe's vocal was simply amazing when she did her solo performance!

An Evening Of Jazz & Funk At Alexis

Got invited by Victor to join him for 'some jazz band' session at Alexis.

Alexis @ Great Eastern Mall, Jalan Ampang

Was just anticipating some regular jazz band but little did I know that drums guru - Lewis Pragasam is playing!

Though much is said about his drumming being excessive, I personally prefer Lewis' drumming, partly due to the fact he played for David Tao's Soul Power Concert of which it's still one of my favourites till today; and also while being all pop/mainstream, he's flexible enough to be groovin' with the jazz, funk and R&B stuff without a slight hint that his signature styles are overlapping on either genre's.

Expect nothing less from the founder of Asiabeat project whose recordings and performances are now legendary in the merging of Asian and Western musical styles

Shanghai dude- Eric Lee [pianist], Zailan Razak on bass & Lewis on drums




Joye Carter got the venue all jazzed up

My drum-idol - Lewis Pragasam

Sunburst Music Festival 2009

The annual SUNBURST Music Festival is back!

Got there in time for the moon to start showing up due to the jam in the city.....

Speed Zone's Red Dome - Joey G on the deck with some F1 simulators inside

Was chillin' out when a friend told Leo and I to swap our spectacles and the hat....
Now this is exclusive as u'll only get to see it ONCE.... I call it 'the swap'

so here we are.

Any similarities?

Anyway, after bummin' around the polo field, we made our way to the Silent Disco Arena and found everything to be 'muted'.

It was so quiet at this corner, u can almost hear the crickets.

Here we are at the Silent Disco where everyone's on headphones

Looks really weird if one were to walk past this place as people are head-banging in a silent atmosphere.

Over at the sun & sky stage, here's what's happenin' :

Crowd cheers on with N.E.R.D on stage

Pharrell Williams; the frontman of N.E.R.D got the crowd happily 'bouncing' for an hour before the band everybody was waiting for took over on the other stage.

Crowd went wild when KORN came on stage

Jonathan Davis and the band opened with Right Here, Right Now.

The hyped up crowd started head-banging and body-slamming almost immediately which then turned into a mosh pit.

Though it's so-NOT my type of music, nevertheless, I enjoyed myself looking at the crazy rock fans get F***ed around by KORN....*lol

Here's some bits for all you KORN fans out there:

By the way, a member of KORN left the band sometime last year for the real ROCK in our lives.

Yups, he got saved & turned away from his KORNy acts. *lol
