My band faugust planned to meet at 8.30am for a session. And slept at 3am the night before. I usually sleep from 6am to 11am after subuh. But instead i stayed up and practice my guitars till I left home at 8.
We should had a good rest before the auditions...
Half an hour before auditions at fourtones, the faugusts had lunch at some Indian restaurant somewhere around Clark Quay.
The roti prata was 80 cent. I ordered two pieces. That was 30 cents more than my neighbourhood Indian stall. But don't get me wrong, their prata was massive. The width is the length of my forearm. In the end, I could only finish up one and a-quarter prata. (Hadi ate the other left over three-quarters. )
Auditions
Firstly, I was nervous, more nervous than the previous tapestry audition. This is because the judges looked like thugs. Didn't look like students. And the fattest one looked like the Tapio Wilska, ex-vocalist of Finntroll! No kidding!
Judges say,
Our first song saturday night (misfits): Bass is out of tune.
Second song, helena (misfits, not by mcr): Sounds tighter, but drummer Azi lacked timing on the blast beats.
Overall comments: Guitar sounded too fuzzy, couldn't 'feel' the power chord. (Trust me, it's not my gadget's fault.)
Bassist should use own bass larh.
Vocalists has to stand out more, in terms of sound and performance.
Drummer has x-factor and style, but needs to improve on blast beats.
Lessons learnt for the day:
Have enough sleep before the day of an audition.
Prata at Clark Quay is humongous.
Adjust the amp not the gadget.
Anyone who look like a Finntroll is fearsome!!!
