Latte@8
Hey guys, how is it going?
Last night we had a great time performing at Latte@8. When they approached us few weeks ago, we thought of playing something that we ve always wanted to play.
Lately, we Malaysians have witnessed a lot of tremendous events happening in our own homeland.
Where its already started to bug not only us, but most Malaysians. The politic crisis has caused so much damage in Malaysian citizens life, making most Malaysians feel insecure in our own home land.
We really dont wanna be part of any of it, but in the end, we realized that as much as we love our country and the people around us, it is necessary as youngters to voice out our views regarding issues such as ISA, CORRUPTIONS, DEMOCRACY, and most importantly the issue of RACISM that has been exploited for politics purpose.
It is important for us to do our part rather than have Malaysians suffer racial separation due to corrupt politicians that seek to feed their agendas. Wouldn't it be nice to see Malaysians unite and stand strong against this regardless of RACE, RELIGION, and CULTURE.
What's important is we're MALAYSIANS.
Finally, the band decided to play one of the new english songs which is called 'The Slave In Us". This song is based on our personal observations and thoughts regarding the situation.
We have designed few Tshirts to voice out our concern at the moment which is ISA.
We know this approach may be a great risk, but what the hell. Rather than sit and write love songs, we would rather be apart of of the fight against this injustice.
Din and Rich during soundcheck.
Andy with his drum tech (Arif) and some help from 8tv crew to fix his drumset.
We had soundcheck from 8ish till 10pm. We had Dj Nasty (The Latte@8 Dj Boy) to help us play some voice tracks for the set.
Mr Hanafi a.k.a enha killing time with Krol and grace while waiting for others.
This time we had our former bassist which is Mr Ken to help us for the set.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Ken. He dropped his bass on the floor during soundcheck. The floor cracked, but his bass was fine. How cool was that? =)
And the show begins...
We had our Tshirts on. With NOISA on it with few different designs.
Right infront of us, we see few representative from MALAYSIAKINI who came down. We didnt expect to them to come after sending them invitation. We're thankful and glad to have them with us.
Interview session with MALAYSIAKINI after show. I was too excited about the whole thing i guess. Rich and Hanafi was looking around to see if there s any snipers. Lol!
After that we hangout with everyone who came for the band. Thank you so much for the support and love. More shows coming do check out our website to see the schedule.
Hope to see you guys in the future.
God bless.
