A Good Distraction
Last Sunday was the 2nd round auditions for Anugerah Band. Ramainya orang....it made for a great atmosphere though. From a total of 68 bands, it was cut down to a final 20 bands for the tv show which will be televised in May.
Our band, 40 CM did not make the cut though. Performing our own original song, it felt good doing our own thing on stage....though I must concede it wasn't one of my best days on vocals. Must admit, my vocals was pitchy on the day.
Really tired....tak dapat amik leave...keje malam the day before.....so dapat tido2 ayam jer......and as most of you would noe, a good rest is key to a good vocal performance.
Tapi tu suma tolak tepi...yang penting we've given our best shot. So now I guess I'll be back to practising and recording my full album lah. Anugerah Band was a good distraction.
Must say that a few bands in Top 20 caught my eye.
'X-Tech', if I'm not mistaken was the Ria Remix 1st ever champs, showed their experience and was great to watch.
There was also a band called 'Virus Cinta' with a female on the vox. I think they have excellent image and musicianship.
Ultimately, this competition was an eye-opener, in good and bad ways.......and a wonderful experience overall. Made new friends and reminisce wif old ones.
Cheers!

Anugerah Band
Gerek seh! Good news is my band, comprising of the guys from 40CM ( check them out at www.myspace.com/40cm) and myself, had managed to get ourselves to the 2nd round of Anugerah auditions which will be held on 6th of April 08 at Junction 8. My joining this competition was a spur of the moment thingy so we weren't very much prepared. Alhamdulillah ada rezeki so kita akan berentap dengan 60 plus bands yang lain this Sunday. Wateva the outcome then won't matter much...we'll be enjoying ourselves as much as we can. Anyway I went to Junction 8 on Saturday close to 3pm, which was the closing time of registration. It was drizzling at that time but the atmosphere was brilliant. Some bands were great, some were not...nevertheless it was an exciting contest! And so we finally performed our piece...a song I penned entitled 'Dunia Yang Fana', on Sunday at close to 9pm. I felt good on stage and thought we did well. Then came the comments...I was ready for negative or constructive ones and that was basically what I got. "Muka dan suara anda tak kena" "Anda harus pergi makeover" Hahaha.....blow jugak muka...haha...tapi tak kesahlah...kata competition....always at the mercy of the judges. But for once I really would love to take heed of the judges comments. So wat do you think I should do? ;)ZAIBAKTIAN ]|[ Wednesday, April 02, 2008
