Bedroom Musicians Series

I need a car.

Why?

Cause I need to be a gig frequenter.

(Deng, how goes the campaign? :P)

If any of you are enthusiasts of the local music industry, you would know Mia Palencia. Our very own, homegrown minstrel. *thumbs up*

I have to admit, I've been touched the wrong way by the Mawi's and Siti Nurhaliza's of the world (and of course, when I say "touch", I do NOT mean literally). They sort of turned me off to any music, Malaysian made (Hmm... how snotty that sounds. But you will see how graciously I admit that I'm wrong).

So, on Saturday night, my friends and I trotted over to Equatorial Hotel for the Bedroom Musician Series gig. There were 5 acts, our dear Mia included. I am telling you. They were all mind blowing.

The line up was made up of cool as cucumber Reza Salleh, the almost-Grey's-Anatomy-like-music from the Justin-Dom-Christine trio (this isn't their actual group name.... in fact.. I don't think they had one..), the teen-angst-revolution band Slunk, I-could-give-Alicia-Keys-a-run-for-her-money Najwa Mahiaddin, and I'm-Sting-tonight Mia.

Unfortunately, as I Googled these ever-so-talented human beings, I couldn't find the trio's site. (I should be absolved of all fault, because I DO NOT KNOW THEIR TRIO NAME). (Note to self: ASK MIA).

Get to know more about the people and their music :

Mia Palencia
Reza Salleh (I recommend that you listen to his live performance of For Her. *siiiigh* *swooon*)
Slunk
Najwa Mahiaddin

I know. Now you're asking. "Where the heck are the pictures???". Well see.... I have a problem with my laptop. Let's just leave it at that. I promise promise that as soon as I get it fixed (Note to self : FIX LAPTOP ASAP), you'll have visual aids. :D

There's gonna be another one of the BSM gigs this Saturday, also in the Equatorial Hotel. the tickets are going for RM20 a piece. (Dare I sound corny? --->) Be there, or be Square! :P

And there it is, people. My new found faith in the Malaysian Music Industry.

*sigh* It sort of reminds me of high school when we used to perform with Mia all the time.

MIA! KARAOKE! :P
