讨闹派 RazzlePlay Album Launch



So it's finally over! Over a year of hardwork finally paid off. Thanks to all that came and supported as well as all that helped/sponsored us for this to come true! It's impossible without any one of the group.

So the whole thing for the day actually started 9.30am! I had to fetch dear Simin with all her equipments and then Vics. Next we went to collect microphones we rented for the stage usage before heading all the way down to SP. Then, we arrived at SP Guitarist club house and managed to pack the stuff fast enough to spare us for a nice lunch at foodcourt 2.

The busy part started around 1.45pm when we starts to move the equipments into the auditorium and setting it up. Follow up next is the sound check and finally the big show.

The concert started with a big bang where SP Guitarist's very own pop band came and did a nice opening for us. They are so good that the crowd actually cheered and were right set on the party mood. So we're up next.

We did our notorius 隐形翅膀 and followed by a new song 再一次. Problems surfaced right away. The drumset kept moving to the front as Vics was playing 隐形翅膀! Then next up, the power for Sean's bass amp seems to have intermitence and causing us unable to start 再一次 right away as per planned. Soon after, my cable starts to get intermitence too! It became really bad that i can't really move myself on stage. So thankfully after this 2 song, DJ 江坚文 from radio 1003 came up and save us by doing some real unplanned MC! It gave me the time to ran to back stage for a new cable and Sean the time to fix his bass amp and as well as Vics's drum issue to be solved. Suddenly i realized this will get even disasterous if 坚文 didn't came and help us! Thanks alot 坚文~!

So we carry on with our song list and it was ok. Next up is the video documentary of the making of our album 讨闹派. Somehow the soundman missed the right level of the video and it was played back really loud. So loud that the speaking part could not be heard properly. To make things worse, the instrument amplifiers were all blocking the subtitles. I feel very bad that i can't allow the audience to actually see the video properly and yet have to bare that loud video for a good 10mins.

While playing the video, we are supposed to be changing our clothes for set2(acoustic set) but we are totally engrossed with how horrible we played etc. It's only until the last 5mins of the video did we realized we have to change and get ready for our acoustic set! So panickly we changed and went back to the stage once again.

Acoustic set was performed better then our live band set 1. Why? We're all sitting down and relaxing. (the songs are easier too :D ). But when you though all hiccups are gone, no.. Sean's bass amp remains unsettled and he totally missed out playing for the first song! Well at least you won't know until i tell you! :)

So right after the acoustic set, we're supposed to change our clothes again for set 3 and this is where the biggest hiccup arrives. Our timing is 15mins earlier then what we've planned. The next program is supposed to be our guest singer, Yet but he isn't at the back stage! Technically, he is not late but it totally made us really panicky! 坚文 rescued us once again. He started to do this QnA session and gave us some time for the ladies to change before we do a hasty cover while waiting for our guest singer. If you ask me, it's crazy! Running a concert is like a moving train, you can't just stop it.

Finally Yet arrived and did his songs. We then get back on stage to do our final set, set 3. By this time, our vocal Siling can no longer sing. Why? She was down with flu the day before and doctor have to give her steroids to speed up her recovery rate. And in case you didn't know, i was down with slight fever the day before and i guess it made me sweat crazily for set1.

We managed to pull through the whole concert. It's a good show especially with so many hiccups but i personally feel it can be a lot better. At least i hope the audience that came that night enjoyed. 讨闹派 is definitely promising all to grow stronger and to make everyone proud!

Currently our website is under revamp for the better and album purchasing page will be up soon! Albums will be mailed to your house so there is no hassle of going down to a CD store.
