Young= Dunno jazz…????
Soulless gig at Top Room…1st night crowd=groupies (waiters & waitress and bandmates girlfriends)
2nd night crowd= ………..
a peculiar conversation with a half an hour table of customer before we started playing that night.
(Group of mat sallehs, 2 asian women and 1 local man)
Asian woman 1 : so there is a band tonight?
Me : Yes… (smiling …. can’t u see the pno gtr and bass all set up..for exhibition is it??!!)
Asian woman 1 : Who’s playing are u guys playing?
Me: Yes we are.
Asian woman 2: ( flirting with mat salleh 1)
Asian woman 1 : U all look so young….wat’s ur band called?
Me : (young?…ok so are u into pedophilia?) hehe…yea. We’re currently known as the Giant Timeline and have been playing around in functions and events.
Asian woman 2 : ( continues flirting with mat salleh 1)
Mat Salleh 2 : (Stares and smiles with dignified body posture)
Asian woman 1 : It’s so interesting to see young ppl playing jazz.
Me: hehe…thank you.
(See? playing? we’re about to start in 30mins so make ur comments then).
Mat Salleh 2 : She didn’t say good…she said interesting.
Me: Ok enjoy the night. (you numbskulls…)
That table 7 pax left 5 mins prior to our drummer done setting up the cymbals after approx. 4 pints of beer.
Moral of the story: young ppl should stick to Click 5, Kelly Clarkson and ….hell i don’t even know who’s hot in the pop market lately.
This either means we’re old or too old for our looks or too young for our brains or too confused about musical genre classification. Did i mention that they asked if we’re below 20 yrs old….oh such compliment……
