Finally! pictures of the recent MCR gig. it wasn't spectecular but it was great music nonetheless. Pictures aren't that great cos we went late and were pretty much behind. didn't or couldn't mosh cos hayley was there and so was my camera. cannot risk damaging any of those 2. MCR amazed me by playing a few of their songs from the old album, loved helena to bits. the new album's pretty much popish, which at some point of them is a great turn off. but oh well. had fun anyways.
A few random pictures of Cradle who were playing at the esplanade. Born and bred locally, the band consists of Man Toyak as lead singer, Addy Rasidi as lead guitarist, Fazli as drummer & Faizal as bassist. These guys have tons of experience and they do play good music. Cradle's a malay rock band that's been playing for a long time. i'm not a fan, but i do applaude their talents. Local guitar hero Addy Rasidi never fails to dish out impressive solos and according to reviews, he's quite a looker as well. not that im interested. so anyways visit http://www.myspace.com/cradle7, go local baby.
