Live at Stanford Hotel Brisbane

Last Sunday is Asian uni games gala dinner in Brisbane. It's kinda looks like an event to honor the friendships between Asian student in Brisbane such as Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and of course Indonesia (no not china, I don't think they are Asian. In fact I don't even think they are humans lol). The event is held in Stanford hotel Brisbane, near Botanical Garden (check google map for detail you nerd-internet-freak)

Anyway, I've got a chance to play there as performer. I feel so excited cause it's been awhile since the last time I played on stage in front of people. Besides, it is in expensive hotel and for gala dinner also. So the pressure and excitement kinda mixed up here (fortunately I've got my lucky joint to help me relax but that's for another story :P )

The funny thing is, I'm the only Indonesian in my band. Yep, my band is like a merged between Asian people (my other bandmates are from Brunei and Singapore). This is what makes it interesting. I never play with people from different country before. It's kinda weird because I have to speak english for every interaction and I know my english is kinda suck hahaha. But hey you know what they say, "music speaks all the language" so even though we kinda hard to express what we want to each other but in the end our music speaks for itself (another justification from the bad-english-speaker).

Well yeah it is been a good memory for me playing in that stage. Everything work so well and I couldn't be happier. I mean it was perfect. The amp, the sound, the stage and especially the crowds that keeps cheering us before, while and after playing hehehe, it was flawless.

What a night to remember. My deepest thanks to my friend, Isyarah Fikri Osman, for asking me play together with him on stage. It was such an honored bro. Let's rock another stage next time.

here are the song lists and some snapshots. Cheers!
