A Tribute to Nirvana Gigs at Warp !
I spent whole morning till afternoon setting up internet server and network
stuff for some school somewhere at Brickfields, they ask for my help retune and
reconfigure the silly things but sadly, it won't perform so well because of
we're running out of time and the management was in hurry for the no reason.
Lame eh ? because i don't like doing things in hurry and i was like, here the
things, go fix it for your own sake.
Yesterday was a great gigs at Warp disco, Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL. Riat, Dino
and I went to the gig at 5 p.m. after we bought ROTTW and we just got the
tickets from Mr. Rom of ROTTW
(above signature is from him exlusively to me!). The tickets was not sold
anywhere because it's exclusively for the ROTTW readers and also to whom bought
the latest Nirvana Tribute compilation album (?). FYI, the gigs was held
regarding to tribute to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. We arrive at Warp disco at 7
p.m. and it's lotsa people (mostly grungemeister) gather at the Warp entrance.
Too much people with their own custom gear and some of 'em perform so dreadful
(t-shirts, sneakers, fade jeans, chain thingy, banners, posters, etc.) And you
know what.... this is my come-back to gigs scene after abandon the underground
music gigs for about 5 years ! there's too much obstacle to keep me following
the scene for the past 5 years and i was like, hey let 'em go, i got my own
priority besides doing pogo-ing. As always, the gigs time wasn't punctual since
i'm in the high school, they told us stary at 6 but at 7.30 p.m. still nothing
besides the crowd on the dance floor start growing and full with smoke, beer and
yelling.
I've seen some girls wore head scarf plus properly covered dresss was in that
disco too while his boyfriend (?) or whoever (?) hands was in her shirt doing
some horny things. Mad cow doing vice even in the front yard. I don't remember
at what time the gigs start and people start standing and dance around like a
mad dog kicking and hitting each and everyone and i'm so tired of the pogo
dance. I don't like that way even i'm underground music fans so i just climb on
the table (it's pretty high) so no one could hit me eh. First band perform for
the gig is Element and all the band (Damn Dirty Apes, Flop Poppy, Jason Lo, Love
Me Butch, Naked Breed, Pop Shuvit, Seven Collar T-shirt and Spider ) sang
Nirvana songs from their 1st debut album till the last one before Kurt Cobain
put a slug in his head---- poor those Seattle dude ! I love the way Emmet of
Butterfingers perform with Pop Shuvit (this freak hip hopper trying to impress
with their poor turn table technic). Love Me Butch with their dreadlook hair,
Seven Collar T-shirt with the fade shirt and the poor tuned audio system. Sadly,
all of the local band never perform their own songs which i think far better
from Nirvana old-school songs. There's lotsa people doing stage diving,
slamming, pogo and whatever could ruin your flesh. So many times the gigs stop
for a while because some of this newbies and school kids where they claim as a
reallyyyyy die hard Nirvana fans start fighting and hit the Warp bouncer. It's
so funny looking at those tough tally guy control the crowd and others don't
care about him whereas they kick him in the ass and pull his shirt. He start
angry towards 'em and warn the crowd so many times and chase away a quite number
of the crowd. He's brave enough dude. The gigs which is organized by; universal
music, warp, guitar&bass, rottw, rom and hitz.fm finished at 9 p.m. with
most crowd drunk and lie weakly on the floor. We then going back home at 10 p.m.
and i was soooo tired and blatantly paralyze and ultimately exhausted ! Below is
the gigs ticket for your view:
