So, the conclusion is, the song list that we will perform will be

1) Bad Apples-The Bad Apples own band arrangement hahah
2) Uragiri No Yuuyake-Theater Brooke
3) FF theme - Noir solo performance

Hmm can I suggest during practice session this Thursday, we just play all the usual songs but it just that we concentrate on the above songs. So at least we wouldn't be bored for 2 hour just playing 3 songs only.

FYI, usual songs:

Tomorrow night meeting at http://www.secretoflouisiana.com/ to discuss with the organizer. 8 pm.

A little bit of explanation regarding the performance night thing. I was being asked by a dear friend who apparently an organizer of some event that he is finding someone or something to do some performance on a stage. A stage that being used for award ceremony of something I am not clearly understand although fortunately we can find that out soon. As of last week, I did not know the whereabout of the said stage (not gonna use event as you guys might confuse it with another thing). Because of that, I was using The Curve as the stage of performance area as that's what I thought where the performance would be gonna happen in relation with the event on the next day. Apparently, I just got to know a moment ago about the said stage would be at Secret of Louisiana for the award ceremony. I knew some guys might have different understanding about this performance thing. So let me put down some inputs here.

So what kind of performance do they want? Anything. Singing, dancing, play, as long as it's nice. It's a performance to fill up the gap between award giving ceremony slots. For the whole ceremony. There might be a single 10 minutes gap where some performance can be filled in, and there might be another 10 minutes or so with another skit.

When and where? The place is Secret of Louisiana which I mentioned just now and the performance will gonna be on Saturday night. Tentatively, I do not know the details (which we will find it out soon).

What do we get in return? Dinner, of course. Nothing more than that though.

To find out more about the stage performance, some guys needed to go there on Wednesday night (relatively tonight) at 8 pm to get more knowledge about the ceremony.

I have to go since I am the middle person for matter. Now who wants to go with me?

P/S: I don't really mind if you guys want to do a full performance with drums and everything but please consider if we only have 10 minutes to perform.

Count me in if u wanna go observe there. I'll wait u there since the place is near to my house.

Details about the performance :

4 slots, 5 minutes each. Consider stage is as large as ultiman's room only. Only provide vocal amplification. Organizer need to know how much is joining by tonight.

'much' is for price

3 people could fit in ultiman's room. No drums I guess, but can still use beat machine.

Suggest we use Double M-Audio setup. Equipment:
a) Keyboard
b) M-Audio ADC
c) each of the above has a line in for guitar & bass or guitar & guitar
d) Bring our own mics just in case
e) Steno's amp
f) My PC speaker set as backup

We have some drumbeats from Chiaki's recording - Meguriai, Yokan, Pure Pure Heart, Shine days (but I won't recommend After Dark's - it's too off tempo).

Open to song list, but needs most to be acoustic. Also I don't think we need to go jamming studio to practice for this. My room is empty now without the drum.

hmm, our performance might gonna be 2 slots or so. but still 20-30 minutes performance. i think after we got our schedule, we need to revise back our plans.

Hopefully the organizer can give us the detailed schedule so we can oredi know how to plan our performances. From what I know so far is, we have given 4 slot which has 5 minutes per slot. Thats all.

Planning on equipments

(From what I know....)

Steno =amp+notebook(if possible, bring along your guitar+effect, takut tetiba tali gitar aku putus or setting effect aku x sesuai)
Noir Ange = Midi controller + music note's stand
Brian = guitar + effect
Myclamyra = Bass guitar + mic
Eccen = amp (and electric drum prior approval from his father, hence choose setting 1)
Chiaki = Bawak diri (if choose setting 2, include actual drumset)

I assume that the organizer provide us with mixer and speaker

Settings 1 (If got electric drum)


Setting 2 (if use actual drum set)


Setting 3 (no drum at all, jimat barang nak bawak)


Now choose your pokemon setting

I asked my teacher about a leave already, so i'm free tomorrow morning. If wanna do planning/practice and stuff about 9 am is okay. Still need to know if you guys really need my drumset.

For the opening performance, since the speech by main sponsors would likely be not there as nobody from the main sponsors doing it, we have additional time of performance. Let say, 15 minutes? And for the second part of performance we might still have 10 minutes.

Good luck guys!
would go watch but seeing kinect at friends place.

Thanks for inviting me to perform with you guys. Seems to improved from the last time but sadly still not good enough i think... sorry but i'll comment indiscriminately here.

brian - since myc is not gonna stick any longer, dunno if you change to bassist. But as a rhythm, learn more about body language to express yourself. i recommend you to provide a vocal support(harmony) also for the band, your singing was good. And teach steno to be a singing guitarist if you have the time.

Myc - should i comment?

Steno - still lacking in vibrato and pitch, hopefully your enthusiasm to play music intrument will let you learn more about those especially vibrato. also dont close your eyes while singing and notice any sign from bandmates for anything.

Chiaki - has conquered your anxiety when facing a crowd, good. I suggest you follow singer's lead when playing, do take notice if it's a bit too fast or slow. and pay attention to any sign from your bandmates telling you to slow/fast a bit during playing(check them out regularly, i believe you dont need to see where you are hitting). electronic drumkit is highly recommended.

Noir - Hold your keyboard properly, it can kill a person if misused.

Alice - Sing close to mic.

Overall bad apples member, choosing hard songs to play could take up a lot of jamming session for perfection. especially like shine days. you guys could learn 3-5 easy songs to play if you didn't even learn that.

In the end a band main power is the vocalist, so steno/alice/ms wei need to train harder to improve the band. singer isnt just about singing, it's interaction and body language. so smile and learn to impose the songs' impression. i really recommend steno to sing while playing rhythm since brian might convert to bassist when myc is busy making offsprings. singing+playing guitar require less of body language to the COOL effect of it.

Again, thanks for inviting me. Been a while since I pickup the guitar seriously.

QFT from someone who well experience in stage performance.

Edit:
btw I dun recall my voice singing was good though coz most of my bandmates from other band said that my voice is worst(and I only play bass guitar if the bassist is not available)
