No no no... not that guy who plays for Manchester United (even though my father is a fan, I'm sorry to say I don't quite share the passion).
What I had actually meant, my dear readers, is gigs as in live musical performances. Think concerts. Yes, you get the drift.
I was just at one earlier tonight - it was the album launch for a local Malaysian band called Paperplane Pursuit and it was at the extremely loud Laundry Bar in a livelier part of town called Kota Damansara.
Best part was I got a copy of the new CD free, just by being bold enough to go up on stage and to say into the microphone the name of the next guest band that was coming up.
Goes to show, my lovelies, that courage pays. But believe me, I still am rather shy along the fringes of my character. I hesitate sometimes. Ah, but I ramble. That will be a story for another post... R perhaps?
I still feel partially deaf, to be honest. Plus perhaps the jolt of adrenaline from all the noise and pumped up crowd earlier has yet to subside. Bah. It's rather late over here.
But well, since I'm here, time to do a little home ground promo... Please take time to check out Paperplane Pursuit - I'm possibly a new fan. :P
The video's pretty interesting... although it's nothing too fancy, it carries a vital message for Malaysians. In fact, it sort of addresses some of the issues I had mentioned here. Well, I'm a really nice person so here ya go, I'll make it easier for you by embedding the video here:
Supporting guest acts, Under Headlights and Bus Company were fantastic too. If you can spare a moment, check them out? :) Yay for Malaysian made and better days for the arts in days to come, which I hope will be sooner rather than later.
My boyfriend's whining about wanting to gig again. I want to whine, but then I shan't, since I'm guilty of slacking in my music ability since eons ago. Well, if he does anything interesting, I'll sneakily post it up later hoho. He loves he attention anyway.
Tomorrow's Friday (why thank you, Rebecca Black) and still a working day so I must leave you for now.
Goodnight, world.

Ruthie: Thanks :) I wish I could say I designed it myself (the blog design) but unfortunately I didn't :P
M Pax: Haha okay. But if it's a favourite band of mine, I'd go for it whether it's big or small concert ;)
i also know Bus Co. They're from the blessed town of Klang, yo! Represent! =D
teemortai: Wah, another sign of a small world, eh? :) I just met him and heard the band for the first time at this gig. I went because Deric knows a band member from Under Headlights, which is Wee Liem (Sharon Lim's fiance).
Heidi Windmiller: Haha yes it was! :) And I'm glad to see you here. Thanks for visiting! :)
