Foreword: Living in a multi racial society guarantees a lot of festive seasons and holidays! This year we had the New Year on the Jan 1, followed by Awal Muharam on Jan 20, then Thaipusam on Feb 1, and on this coming Feb 18 & 19 would be the Chinese New Year. Then the holiday replacement will be on the 20th because 18th is a Sunday, this will be a long week of holidays and very little choices for eat-out or takeaway since most stalls and some restaurants will not be operating at all. The common practice for chinese requires the employees to start working on the 5th day from the CNY, and most chinese still follows this old sayings/ customs. Hence if you're working within a chinese corporate, the officials off-days are 17 - 23 Feb!
In conjuction with this long festive holidays and the return of our saxman, Shazzy after his stay in the Big Apple, we'll be playing in Alexis on this Feb 23 & 24. (*Shazzy was staying in New York and somewhere around Canada in January doing his album recordings and MTV shootings!). Our new lineup also includes Cher Siang and Martin. Cher Siang is my old pal from college. He just returned to KL after years of studying (missing from KL scene!) in States. He brought back a music degree and a fiance. Though i'm not so sure of how these two issues are related, but statistics have proven that a lot of tertiary music students meet their partner in life while in college or uni. On behalf of the band, we would like to congratulate Cher Siang on his engagement which falls on the week after our show. Martin is the heart throb within the group. This guy is ultra friendly and a master of sweet-talk (to females only!). He has a gentle personality and plays a tight drum. So i really look forward to the show and hopefully able to catch up with some friends if they're in town.
Also we'll be playing a couples of new tunes. Hence i better get back to the 'writing' and get more manuscripts!
See you there!
