My New Rock Band
Well..just finished jamming with my new-found rock band members..courtesy of my good friend Ah-Huat that I got to know Andrew (the drummer) and Amos (the keyboardist cum vocalist), making my "band" complete. You see, I initially had only a lead guitarist(Mr Cabbage),a bassist (Mark Shannon) and myself as the rhythm guitarist cum vocalist. Then suppose to jam with either one of my drummer frnds Emmanual or Justin but due to work commitments on both sides, was unable to jam together yet. One day, my frnd Ah-huat informed that he has a frnd(Amos) who needs some band members for an upcoming performance and we were lucky enuff to be able to find some time suitable to jam together so that's where I got my band completed today..
Not bad a jamming session for a start but I realise something that might be the doom of me(like wad happened to my ex-band Emanon)- all of them listens to ang-mor songs more than Chee-na songs and there are two vocalists in the band(same scenario with my previous band).. not that I do not like English songs but I excel better in Chee-na songs ye see? And not that my band members ain't accomodating enough to allow me to sing chee-na songs but well, i think the click aint that strong if the situation is at that. Whenever I wanna sing a Chee-na song, most probably they dunno the song and would need time to digest it before we can start practicing on it and vice versa. Get wad i mean? if all band members listen to the same type of music, they would know roughly how to play that song since most probably they would have heard it before..
But good thing is, the only difference is that Amos can play at least an instrument (and well at that)other than being a vocalist(for my previous band, Mark Shannon and me were fighting to be lead vocalist for every performing song but back then, Mark can't play any instruments and can only sing). So perhaps, it might not flop like previously eh? haha.. but alas, the upcoming performance will be all in English..no chance for me to sing what i wanted to..sigh..when will my Hokkien metal rock band dream be realised.. =/
