akhir pekan bersama vampir

yes, I just got back from Bengkel Night Park, where you could see Vampire Weekend, real with your own eyeballs. woot woot!

for those who aren't really familiar with VW, it's an indie rock band from U.S. check out their profile here in Wikipedia or their official website.

and my recommended-to-download list consists of these :

Oxford Comma

Horchata

Cousins

Holiday

Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

California English

Bryn

anyways, talking about the concert ...

I actually didn't expect it to be über crowded, since many of my friends were clueless about what Vampire Weekend is. when I said : "I'm going to VW's concert." mostly they replied : "Huh? What the heck's that?" geez...

turned out that I was wrong. it was damn full of enthusiast youngsters I couldn't even move freely. I entered the gate around 6.30 PM while the show was started at 8, if I'm not wrong. so I took my time and looked around. they also sold VW T-Shirts. didn't buy any due to the fact that I'm recently broke :s

Horchata, the word on the 2nd line, is one of their song and also a drink's name. I don't know how it tastes. didn't bring too much cash, so I only bought a sandwich to fill up my empty tummy. sorry Horchata, maybe someday...

opening performance by Monkey to Millionaire, then voilá! EZRA KÖNIG!!!

screaming for him made me join the mainstream team. the venue was so full with many Ezra Ezra and Eeeeezzrraaaa echoing inside.

and by the way, I took all these picts with cell phone camera. had decided to left my camera at home and just enjoyed the gig to the fullest. so people, please pardon the blurs.

10.30 PM, concert was done

left to right : Samit, Pasti, Alex, Tasha, Dessy, Me.

plus Caca, she was somewhere else when we took this photo

I also recorded 2 songs, and below is Horchata.

story behind :

Ezra had already said "Thank you bla bla bla" and all the 4 of them had left the stage. after some series of typical "WE WANT MORE!" finally they came back and played other 3 or 4 songs. Horchata was the first track from their encore.

to summarize my writing, the whole gig was actually awesome. the lightning effect was spectacular, and the sound was super clean. Ezra sang so perfect, he could keep his voice stable from the beginning until the very end. besides, he was funny and communicative.

the minus point, it took about 45 mins only to do the soundcheck.

in the name of every living things in hell, that was like, DUH. pegel kali woy!

well, overall, I LOVE TONIGHT. it was a sweet escape to forget tomorrow's mid-test for a while.

shoot, got to study like, now. bye folks! :*
