GIG GIg Gig gig

-Current temperature 39°C and yea it feels like am being baked in the oven, can't even folds my hands and legs, the joint would sweat alot. -

I went for my first ever hard rock gig in Australia that sunday and yes this is really mad am totally enjoyed it!

Gyroscope is one of the good band that come from Perth, yep they just got back touring from the States. So they are growing larger .... and yet i get to see them, though i got to know them when i am here. Thanks to Tommy who introduce them to me.

As i said, this is my last uni year, so i am going to enjoy as much as i can, experience anything that i have never been. Though, i just realise that i dun have much money to pay for all these experience.

Tommy n me had planned this gig for weeks, before i came back from KL, so we were both excited about it! YAY!

He brought 2 of his friends to the gig too ... but surprisingly they never heard to Gyroscope and this kind of music is not their cup of tea ... hmm money wasted hey!

The gig venue was at High Road Hotel pub, so the place is not very big, but it is good enuf for small crowd. We were there almost 7pm, and it is supposed to start at 6pm (din know they are same as us).

There were 2 opening act warming up for the whole show, the first act Calerway was not bad, but the crowd wasn't giving a very good respond to them, yup ppl were just standing and moving their body a lil.

FREAK ME OFF ....
when a white girl smile at me "ham saply" and look at me for quite some time, what kind of responses i am supposed to give??!!

Yea so i continue watching the band playing and just smile a lil back to her when she smile at me "ham saply" again!!

That's not the end for her yet. After a while, she uses her butt and hit my butt too!! Bloody hell ... was i supposed to scared or hit her back?? What to do, i have to smile at her as though i am enjoying the show and having fun!! She then use her butt and bump into me again!! (-_-''') I was forced to smile back to her to show my politeness. This act was witnessed by one of T's friend, he found it weird too.

Luckily after a LITTLE while, the band finish playing and it's time to get out from the mosh and head to somewhere safer .... '''

Give our ear a rest hey ... the speaker was so damn loud, couldn't even hear our conversation properly.

And then we head back for the 2nd opening act. Eleventh He Reaches London ... what a "cool" band name. And they are so hardcore .... moody... most of the time dun even know what he is singing. The crowd too responded coldly.

*Drank smirn off*

It is time for the big act to perform ... yea the crowd started to be so passionate, crazy, mad .... standing infront is a must to experience the differences of being an audience in Australia.

Most of the time i have been squashed by the big guy next to me and also the big girl next to me .... they tot i am a pingpong ball. Going crazy is a must to enjoy throughoutly. This is just like wat we saw from those western country rock gig. Crowd surfing, people going crazy, jumping up and down, screaming, ..... i was amazed to see crowd surfing just next to me, though i din get to be a part of the crowd surfers.

But yea, i enjoyed so much, cuz the crowd was good and the band is just infront of me ... i can even touch him eh !! Normally we din get to get so near to the stage in Malaysia gig, and the boucer would control the safety and all .... no crowd surfing, no bare naked .... bah all those rules!!

After the show .... yea it is really a good work out eh! it's been a while sweating with excitement. This kind of feeling was so good, it would be better if i know those lyrics better.

After resting a while on the sofas ... oh a drunkard non stop harrasing those boys, call em losers cuz they are not drinking any. T then drag me to the backstage and say hi to the band, yup we even get to talk to the singer ... which is so cool. If one day they are getting more famous, this would be one of the memory that i had of em.

Going to this gig, is not expensive at all .... after coming back from the gig ... their music can't seems to get off from my mind.

Oh ... and i think alcohol does gone up to my brain, i am feeling abit uneasy after coming back from the gig. Maybe becuz after drinking doing such good work out ..... good blood circulation eh!
If i have the money, i would go to RockIt festival eh .... Silverchair, Grinspoon .... hmm that fest is abit costly. I am so broke now.
