higher
i meant to blog about this on saturday when my excitement was still very much on a high, but seeing that this is soraya you're talking about, its already monday. That being said , the feeling is still there, tho it might have waned a little theres still alot of it left for me to at least want to sit myself in front of the screen and dedicate a longish post to the one ..... the only
maliq & D'essentials!!
okay, im back at a HIGH..
as some of you may already know (esp those who r frequently in my car), i am a HUGE fan of this neo soul jazz outfit from jakarta. ok, credits to andi and buds for asking me to get maliq & d'essentials album (1st) for them when i went to bandung.Too bad u guys weren't around to watch them. needless to say, after listening to them i got hooked! i super like their songs!
ok, next up.. credits to fachry for informing me bout their show at planet hollywood, and for getting me the tickets waay early!. well, it was actually a charity event organized by the indonesian students over in Malaysia in aid of the jogja victims. there were a number of cultural performances and bands playing during the earlier part of the show but lets not talk about that ( the performances were really good tho)
oh, small mention just to get it out of the way.. i won some stuff from mtv indonesia for answering a question about maliq & d'essentials... the vj's response.. "whoahhhh fann banget dehh". haha.
back to maliq & d'essentials
they were simply AMAZING!. im serious. they did so much more than just perform their songs. they should seriously consider recording a live album. well, theyre fairly new so im quite sure they will soon enough. their 2nd albums comin out soon!! i think this was the first concert/show/gig/whatever i went to where i knew every single word to every single song and enjoyed every single minute of the god damned performance. oh, tak.. i didnt know one song (its a new one thats gonna be in their 2nd album, so.. forgiven), but hell, halfway thru the song i was already singing along! i am telling you, even a non-fan would've been super impressed by their SUPERB stage presence! every single one of them had something going on up there. no one was shoved out of the spotlight, not one of them was 'just a member' .they all had their time.
while im at it i might as well introduce them as i have pictures... i only have individual pictures tho as i was right at the stage and too close to take the bands picture as a whole. oh well, not complaining!
here's to ANGGA who introduced neo-soul jazz to indonesia. he's EQ humania's nephew ( local indo jazz singer)
INDAH.. the female vocalist. superb superb!
SATRIO... recent baldy. his guitar effects: karenn abisss!
IFA.. the keyboard and backup vocals are verryy necessary to a full sound
AMAR.. ahh.. this guy is totally entertaining! one second he's playing impressive scales and the next he's singing into the small mic attached to the end of his trumpet
JAWA.. yes, his hair is pink. i think he's the most 'semangat-ed' bassist ive ever seen. haha.
k, i saved the best for last!!.. my favourite. haha yes, this one even deserves a different colour scheme
WIDI!!!!!!... you will never understand why i like this guy so much unless you've seen him onstage... he's at the very back of the stage yet he's the one who stands out the most. i kid you not. i know its not very often that drummers stand out more than the vocalist/guitarist, but widi rocks my socks BIG TIME!
i dont think its his skills that makes him appealing (though i must say, his skills are more than plentiful), i dont think its his looks either. But this guy just catches your eye. totally semangat, practically dancing behind his drumset.... *swoooooon*
and guess what made my day??
TOTALLY made my day!

widi came out to sing!!! you see how versatile these ppl are? hehe.. siiigghhhh...
couldve sworn i turned into liquid when he started singing.. okay, but i didnt. blehhh.
to those who have never heard of maliq & d'essentials, i pray you come out of your shell and start listening to some real music. hehe
