The day was hot. Which was good cos we were hopin' it wouldn't rain given the crazy, tropical weather Singapore has been having. Anyways, Perfect 10 did a mighty fine job in hyping up the crowd. There was an Air Castle which I would've jumped on had it not been how hot it became in there. There was a booth in which you could purchase $10 worth of Kotex Tampons, I kid you not, and you stand to win Blackberry and Samsung handphones. I wouldn't know what to do with that many tampons.We came on as the 3rd band of the day after Wicked Aura Batucada and West Grand Boulevard. Massive acts to follow I must say, but I hope we pulled it off. We were told to cut down the set to 4 songs instead as the organisers were overrunning on time so we took our cover of Puya's Fundamental off from the list. Started off the set with Mero Mero Mambo, a 2 minute instrumental which unfortunately did not work out that well due to some technical problems on Yazid's guitar amp. Used the time taken to rectify the situation with a bit of bribery, hence the first distribution of Fatskunks buttons. Apart from that, the show went on quite well. We played 3 tracks from the EP and handed out 5 free copies. Ok not exactly handed them out, I just played some CD frisbee.
We ended the set with an industrial-laced cover of Umabaraumba by Jorge Ben Jor. Got the crowd to sing along. Even though, they didn't know the lyrics, or just sang Coca Cola Coca Dor. Good sports they were and we love em for that. :)
Next stop, we've got a show coming up on the 25th of July as part of Republic Polytechnic's annual initiative for a good cause. 2 days and 2 nights of activities for the public. It's free admission and open to the general public. We're planning a few surprises as always. So just stay tuned people!
