Just came back from KL...Big Update...

I CARE ABOUT HARDCORE, BUT I HATE THE SCENE!!!

We just came back from Kuala Lumpur the other day and it was a fckn awesome experience. Watching IGNITE live was one of the best shows I've ever experienced (and I've been to a lot of shows (scene cred points here.hehe). They started their set with 'Bleeding!!!' and ripped through almost an hour's set of classic Ignite songs. From the classic 'Ash Return' (with a 'Hands On Stance intro!), to 'Who Sold Out Now?' and the anthem 'Embrace', the crowd went nuts. Zoli Teglas and company didn't let up. Of course they did 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and the moment of the night, 'Live for Better Days' with Zoli singing only to a clean tone guitar. Goosebumps all over. My throat is still hurting from the non-stop singing-along to every song they played including a Misfits cover (guess what song..hehe). The Ignite guys were nice guys all around. I got a load of photos but my fuckn PC at work still won't allow me to upload the,. Definitely gonna upload them this weekend. A lot of good bands played that night including our good friends from Second Combat. Too bad they played a short set as it was getting late. Kids on the Move ripped through a good set ending it with a Have Heart cover. nice. We also met up once again with the awesome dudes from Driven Fear (Australia) and it was always nice hanging out with those guys.

It was awesome to hang out again with old friends and met some new ones along the way. The morning after, we went around KL doing tourist stuff and ate some pizza (nice break from eating all that nasi goreng, maggi goreng, veggie soup and roti canai..hehe), went to the Petronas Tower and did some shopping.

I have five copies of the Second Combat CD and a couple of extra Second Combat shirts if you want. Just meet me at the shows or send me a message. I still have Bystorm/Pulling Teeth split CDs. Check it out if you haven't already.

Thanks to Pali of Second Combat for letting us crash once agian in his house and driving us all around KL. Thanks bro, we owe you big time! Ein, Karen Ceasefire, Erin, Dee, Bart, Arwith and all of the guys we hung out with. We can't wait to be back! Bystorm will be doing an Indonesian tour next summer (March) and we'll definitely head to KL and maybe Singapore to play a couple of shows...
