rockin out a little.

It’s been awhile!

a long while, actually.

Didn’t mean to leave the blog idle for that long but it just happened. The blogging drive just wouldn’t come. You’ve gotta be in the mood to blog, you know. You can’t do it just because. You can’t be obliged to do it. (although i’m partially obliged to do this now. Just partially. So that doesn’t really count.)

So 2 weeks ago, we had this charity rock concert, which turned out pretty damn amazing, i have to say. Kudos to the peeps who made it happen. A rock concert in Davangere? That’s hell of a great achievement.

My band, consisting of Sarah, Nazrin, Peka and me, put up a pretty good show i think, as a new introductory group no one had ever known or heard of. The band’s name is The Jacks, by the way. And just for clarification, which is very much needed, we are not calling ourselves jackasses SO DO NOT MAKE FUN OF THAT NAME cause there is a good solid reason why we came up with that name.

Being so different from one another, we were having a really really hard time coming up with a band name. As a matter of fact, we weren’t even keen on the idea of having a band name. I personally find it corny, like why can’t we just jam and play music without being labelled? But no, a band name was required cause it was a public event and we were supposed to be known as something.

We weren’t getting anywhere with the names cause everyone suggested totally different name styles until finally, i decided to search for something common in all of their suggestions. Peka mentioned “Dr.Jacks”, Nazrin casually said “Off to Jack’s” and “Jack Off”, and Sarah wanted “Jack and Friends”. So VOILA! THE JACKS.

Genius, right? Lmao.

Okay i shall stop talking about the band name cause it’s not even important, people don’t even care. I don’t think we’re even gonna stick to that name anyway.

Lets talk about how the concert went.

Moksh and Hammerhymns were just goooooooood. Well, they are, after all, senior bands. The stuffs that they play may be a little too heavy for me but heck, at least i could tell that they are really skillful and experienced. So yes, appreciation’s there. And gotta be glad they invited us to perform.

So The Jacks (okay now it’s starting to sound stupid) did some 5 songs. We were supposed to do 4 more acoustic songs but too bad acoustic session was cancelled cause there wasn’t enough time apparently. I was pretty upset about that cause the only song i was gonna sing was one acoustic song. Oh well, it’s just my luck. But anyhow, the 5 songs went well. There was a blackout halfway through one song though, but no worries, not much harm done. Enjoyed the whole thing alot. =)

I wish i could do more, though. Cause frankly i’m quite bored with the keyboard already. Maybe i need to acquire new playing styles to spice things up a little. Step out of my comfort zone.

Satisfaction kicks in only when you achieve something by stepping out of your comfort zones.

That’s my line. You can quote me. Anytime. I wouldn’t mind. :P
