Just wondering which was the first gig you have attended (not necessary played as a band). What was your feeling at that time? I am quite sure the first time was the most memorable one.
Mine was Blast Off gig held at Fu Chow/Fu Chew (I don't know the spelling) association I think right above the shopping complex next to Kota Raya (what's the name of the shopping complex??? damn...I am getting old). This Blast Off gig has no relationship with Astro.
The gig was crowded. There were lots of punks hanging around. I went with a friend who is now married and a retired gig-goer. We were two of the rare non-Malays. I guess the shoppers must be wondering where all these weirdos with white and black t-shirts came from. Some people were staring at the mohawks in amazement. Some turned back or changed direction upon seeing a punk especially women. In my mind, I was thinking "Cool!!! Hooray!!! I am a weirdo!!!" just because I wore a black t-shirt with the word "X'tro" around those people. X'tro was a horror movie - it looked like some kind of metal/industrial band's t-shirt. Subculture, Opposition Party, ...damn, I cannot remember what other bands now....maybe Carburetor Dung, Infectious Maggots, Pilgrims???? Oh..there was an all-girl Singaporean riot-grrrl punk band there (my favourite girl band during those days)...what's the name??? They sounded like Huggy Bear/The Go-Gos
I went home with buzzing sound and headache the following day. I stood too close to the loudspeakers. Now, I keep my distance away from the stage due to this bad experience... |

The first gig was when i was only 16 years old, i went to a gig at paul's place, where i saw bands performing, and these bunch of old uncles using his slider on the guitars, it was new to me.
i even had my first beer there!
and back then the gigs were organised by Paul himself.
I sat back and watched, and observed how it was done, it looked pretty easy. and then started attending more gigs like IU nites and Prom nights and watched the bands performed, it was an awesome experience for me.
then i organised my very first gig one year later in year 2000, at the Bali Commerce square to promote Jason Lo's album launch and finally got to watch Butterfingers play in real life.
Butterfingers is the second band who made me love the Malaysian music scene more, and from that day forth, i am now a gig organiser on my own helping bands to be like Buttefingers one day. It may seem like a dream, but at least i tried my best.

Joe Kidd and the gang. 1st kena kutuk dgn geng2 jb pasal pegi gig pakai T-Shirt death metal band nama Autopsy. 1st jatuh cinta dgn Naked Butterfly. they did covers from Faith No More.. mmg aku suka pulak tu! hish best ah. 1st gig... and semua kenangan manis2 hehe.
but the best experience for me and few of my JB buddies was definitely touring with this band called Stomping Ground from Singapore.

On the way to the lift when the gig was over. I didn't know what happened, one of the riot-grrrl shouted "f**k you" to a guy. Rebel betul!!! |

| Search!! wooo!!! "JERITAAAAAAnnnnnn...ACORDIAN TUUUAaaa!!" . They're the true malaysian rock legends. I was in school then, i have no idea how long ago that was, mid 80s i think...and i learnt a valuable lesson, dont go to the front of the crowd unless you want your ribs crushed. Then there was HEadwind (whos perfromance was pretty dry), but Wings...oooh, wings sent the doors crashing down from the budak2 rock kat luar yang tak leh bayar. The huge gate was thrown of its hinges and they all rushed in. Almost felt like a revolution..haha...those were the days... |

hahahaha..i rememeber that movie. Alien raped this chick and she gave birth to this other alien..and it went on a killing spree. I remeber most movies during that era consisted msotly of a ludicrous storyline, a fair dose of gratificious violence, and sprinkled with bouts of borderline harcore porn scenes. Man they were great. |

Haha...I haven't even watched this movie. I didn't even know it was a movie when I bought the t-shirt until I saw an article about the movie in a magazine |

My 1st gig was held at Taping when I was 18 year old. It was a hardcore punk skinhead's gig. I saw swastikas everywhere lor!! The gig ended with them fighting each other. I decided to get the hell outta there early to avoid the fight. It was a big fight that it got on the front page news on Harian Metro!  |
