Pesta Raya-Malay Festival of Arts 2004: Muda-mudi @ Esplanade

Loud, outrageous and on the fringe of society, Malay rockers -or Mat rockers- are bad to the bone. Or are they? Charging with high octave music last night at the Outdoor Theatre-The Edge-Esplanade,were Kaleidoscopicuriousity, Mambang and Aegyptie.Integrating youth cultures , these bands are predominant enough to kick ass!
Yes! They really did! Wahah!
These 3 bands are different. Music by Kaleidos'(ahh!! so long ah the spellin..) is like hip hop..Linkin Park kinda influence ah..DJ'ing n stuffs..shiok ah..very 'I wanna dance to e music'..Up to beat ...
Mambang- At 1st I thought they changed their concept or wat ah..donned all black..leather pants, studded belts, metal chains..like Metalheads. Skali..the songs they played were all so mellow man..quite weak ah their songs. But they've got good players in the band. The Guitarist...like..wah..ur solos not bad man... Drummer-quite proficient. Bassist-Wow Wow!Great bass licks.. And the vocalist..a female..sounded like some nightclub singer ah.. Heh. All in all..not bad ah the band..
And lastly of course..the main highlight..Aegyptie! I am so.. so glad tt i got to watch dem. Weee..!! Songs they played :- Fikirkanlah, Pengeksploitasian, Pride...n more of their new songs. I'm juz fallin in love with them man..oops! I mean their new songs. Not that "Oh..My bro is in that band..n he contributed a lot in the makin..N his vocalist is so cute..n therefore i have to say this.." NO! But really ah..If i were to be some typical ignoramus dunderhead..i will really fall in love with their music.. It was really my cup of Milo.. N to Haziq.."U said Malay band's not ur cup of tea rite? If they're not good u'll go home rite? Malay bands r weak rite?Sorry wrong number..Pegi blah ah! At last he still watched the whole show..n said that Aegyptie sounds like Lost Prophet n was the best among all..Heh.. N Huzaimi..i tink he's falling for the drummer..heh..Maryam..kept sayin tt the vocalist's cute..N me...I was so pissed! Huzaimi was recording the show when this security lady officer came up to us n said that photography n videoing is not allowed. Waddeheck..Wah not bad ah.. afraid of piracy.. Even the police officers were there..Never came across a gig with security control man..Anyhow..the whole show was extremely gratifying.
