Seksun Array AD & D - Running With Skimpy Dresses To The Factory Bus!



Hi Low.

That was exactly what happened. We came to Puteri Pan Pacific, Johor Bahru at about 2 pm, set up our rig, and did a rough soundcheck. Things sounded OK, however, we needed to wait until 4 pm for the main guy with the speakers to arrive. The wait was a bit of a downer.

So we did a full soundcheck at 5 pm, and retired to the hotel room for shower and rest. Had an acoustic set at 8 pm, apart from a small power glitch, the show went fine, with good rounds of applause from the audience. Did a stoned rendition of Irwanshah's "Pencinta Wanita" in-between the songs- you should have heard how the audience laugh their bums out!

Next, we had the full electric show at 10.30 pm, it was the last event of the night. Experienced full house for the first time in our lives during 2 songs, flailing arms and legs everywhere! Came the third song, the floor suddenly became empty- what the heck? Turned out that the operators were running to the doors, lifting their skimpy dresses and high heels in order to catch the factory buses home! Darn.

Company should have asked the buses to pick the kids later to allow them to enjoy the full show. Well, what to do, and in order to take advantage of the free electricity, we played a doomed and fuzzed out version of Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water" to the hotel boys and girls who were cleaning up the mess.

Packed up the goods, and sent the whole bunch back to Rockin' Studio, and had a good night trying to sleep, watching Astro. Photos of the show are available in the usual Service Imagery section - take a look, aite? A very big thank you to Mr Bob Rockin' for all the rig and affordable price, Mr Bad for the van, Mr Amri for the photo shots, Mr Zamri for the opportunity, and to Haris' little bro who stayed with us the whole evening :)

Oh, by the way, heard that we may be playing in Carrefour Johor Bahru's AD & D on 30-Jan-07. Looks like we are fast becoming an annual dinner favorite live attraction towards the end of this year. Lantak la. Wowee!
