None Barred a Sessioning Lovely Monday

The gig last Monday night was great, we had loads of fun on stage definitely. We didn't really expect a great turnout despite the rain. We would like to thank Willy from Aging Youth for inviting us to this infamous Monday Session.

Our third outing in 2 years, it has been great, pretty awesome sound system and a great dressing room with purple dumb Bells. As Jeremy was on his way back to Singapore from Venice, Syed Ahmad had to re-learn the complicated riffs that Jeremy had created in the songs, while Zahir Sanosi from I Am David Sparkle was roped in for primal back beats.

This is the weird formation ever: so we were TiraSparkleRevival

The set-list:
1. Alistik
2. Swinging Arms
3. Spoon
4. Dancing Queen (ABBA cover)
5. Song For A Retard
6. Mr Fantesticles

We have not played Alistik for a long time and Song for A Retard has actually morphed into multiplied versions actually. Dancing Queenc came our pretty alright with Adik giving it a bastardised rhumba/boomshakalak beats, and Ahmad with his trademark pornwah twinkle. As for now, this would be our last gig for the year, till we get the album done, and I am pretty sure it will be next year. Let's pray hard together...

I will upload the photos soon...you know how you have to be patient uploading photos.

love and evol

The Fluidity of a Space

I know..I know...I have been very lazy. I have to kick my own butt to write all these down.

Well, I should have written this so many weeks ago, for my Ibook went into a coma, yes I know its a lame excuse. Nevertheless, I have to rely on my girlfriend's laptop to write this review or such of the Fluid gig organised by Stick and Run collective.

The decision to play in this gig was partly because of the fees, though its not that big, its enough to cover 3 hours of recording. It has always been that way, if only our parents own Tiger Balm Gardens, it would have been easier.

We were greeted with a rehearsal of 'street-clothing' fashion show by a local brand 'Revoltage'. with not so 'model-like' models who sauntered through the mini-catwalk with cold swagger. Fluid, the pub or Bistro, whatever they call it, as like many other pubs in Singapore do; they have the usual Television set screening some Rugby game with a pool of 'beef-steakers' caucasians/expats/foreign talents/tourists outside the pub gawking away with their $5 frankfurters and beer.

The soundcheck was pretty alright, the fact that the stage was compressed , and the quasi theatrical lightings were off-beat at some point I thought... but all was good.

The gig started at about 10-ish, the singer came out with an 80s new wave-esque-butterfly sleeved blouse with a long hippy wig and yellow framed shades. The Stevie Wonder turned rocker meets Spinal Tap look.

Song List:
1. Spoon
2. Swinging Arms
3. Take Over The World
4. Afloat
5. Paper Crane
6. Mr Fantesticles

However, price of admission could have been a turn-off point I would say, for $16, I guess it is a little too steep for some people. Singapore being Singapore, people find their best way to have some fun and entertainment for free. So that is pretty normal, unless we are Primal Scream that is another story.

I believe we had some new audience (apparent from the squeeching teeny bopping screaming heard on the right side of the stage), that is a kind of a motivation or sort for us to play at unknown venues. Special thanks to Jonathan aka The Tick and Peishan who came to catch us, as the photos of the gig is in my Ibook who has died on me. I don't have any at this moment, anyone of you who witnessed the event, please do email me the photos at manicjango@gmail.com

regards
Mr Fantesticles

The last gig of the Year

This is a little bit late, but do come if you wanna forget your Monday blues. We will be playing last, as Jeremy Sharma is still in Venice for his Art Project, Syed Ahmad will be taking over his role, while we have a special guest drummer for you.

See ya all...
