highly strung

meet us this coming sunday, 3 sept 2006 for our finale gig. picture courtesy of www.myindo.com - fairy took this picture last year during our merdeka show.

kuala lumpur, 1.30am and we had just walked out of our quaint 31 tengkat tong shin - home to troubaganger shows since june 2005. we stood and sang negaraku. we recited rukun negara. outside, blocks down near sg wang was a major sponsor-driven concert. outside, streets down near merdeka square was a major govt-enabled concert. here we were. about 80 of us peeps and performers. in the small upstairs room overlooking the malaysian drug dealers' association, foot massage clinic, mamak...our voices were loud tonight. but perhaps not loud enough. voices which yearn attention. voices which must never cease. these voices from next door are the voices of tomorrow. man it really felt so empowering yelling out MERDEKA which my fists boxing the air. Really, it did!
