Went to a gig and a national competition last month. The first one was the Groove In Motion III which held at Connection Lounge, PJ on 6/6/10. It just a charity gig but it really means a lot to us. This is the first time my band performed in the public with the others cool underground bands. Kinda nervous but it was excited when we received this gig. SEE!!! my band name, '1 Inch Closer' was in the poster above!! And we are the opening band!! 1000x Thanks to Sim who intro us the organizer.
On that day, we reached 1 hour earlier before the gig started. Since my band is the opening band. So our sound check session was shifted to the last slot. A bit nervous when I went up the stage to do my sound checking because all the musicians from other bands were looking at you. When we ran part of the songs on stage, I realized the my vocal not loud enough from the monitor...and I was too nervous til my vocal got a bit off pitch. Saw some of them were laughing a bit..aiyo~~ I asked the sound man to adjust the volume a bit and everything seems fine now.
YES!! The final moment has came!! When the audience has reached, the host announced our band, really excited but a bit nervous too. So, we performed 4 songs and a short instrumental. The songs are Glamorous Sky, Hello, Without You (own composed) and My Time (own composed). Argh!! still cant put my feeling on singing the songs but overall still ok..some parts didn't sing well. Guess I really nervous..performing in front of so many musicians. After that, we stayed there to watch other bands performance. Some of them are really great, especially Lang. I'm really impressed with them.
The whole gig ended around 7.30pm. Some of the performer and audience came to me and gave me some good comments. All of them hope to see us all in the future. Yea.....am excited cuz' did left a good impression for them. It would be a good starting point for us =)
During our performance....gonna eat the mic already.
