bury me in this dress

Another eventful day for me. I actually went out again, this time to a gig in Gweilos, Libis. It’s a tribute to the label 4AD since it’s their anniversary. Jenny went with me and we met at around 9. We went inside the place an hour later but the fucking thing started really late. Like 11 pm so that was annoying. We just wasted time taking pictures of one another. Dammit I’m running out of things to wear.

The first band was…forgot the name. Some indiepop band which I didn’t like at all. I felt like I was being tortured while listening to them. I didn’t like the singer’s voice at all although the rest of the band was okay.

The next band was Soft Pillow Kisses which is much better. I’m friends with Allan, one of the members, but I’m not being biased. I think they played 6 songs.

The third band was Skies of Ember. I’m a fan and they are my friends. I think they’re really great. Again, I don’t think I’m being biased. If you don’t believe me, check out their myspace profile.

Hmm. The last band was Slavedrum. I didn’t care much for the band before but now I’m kind of a fan. They played a really good set tonight. I think the band has a myspace profile as well but…just search for them if you want.

I don’t know why only 4 bands played. There were a lot of bands in the line-up. I suppose they didn’t show up. Too bad. Anyway, some copies of 1980 Forward (a 4AD compilation) were given away to people who were able to answer some 4AD-related question. I was too shy to participate but I knew the answers. Nevertheless, Jerome gave me a copy of the CD. I don’t know why. I guess he felt sorry for me since I was alone by that time. Or maybe he knew that I know the answers to the questions. Whatever. I’m happy to get the CD.

The gig ended before 2am. My head still hurts but I felt like posting about it. There’s supposed to be another gig this Saturday but I doubt if I will go. I’ll see if I can drag a friend with me cos I don’t want to go alone.
