The Starlight & Live8...mere coincidence or timely fate?

SuperBar

Right after our last gig at Starlight, I got home just in time to see Dido, Green Day and Black Eyed Peas on Live8, the sequel to Africa Aid and a call to world leaders of the G8 summit to end poverty and cancel African debt.

It did feel kinda cool to hit the stage just hours before the biggest names in music did.

Although we had nothing to do with Live8 (Bono didn't return our calls), just watching it extended the good vibes I got playing for everyone at Starlight.

Thanks again for making it our biggest and best gig so far.

Superbar is changing their name

After making a commitment to our fans, and listening to their advice, we have decided as a band to change our name. We got this idea for a name from a fan currently identified as Incube, who posted this on his website.

" aku rasa band suren ni patut tukar nama jadi supersuren .." - http://taknak.blogspot.com

After careful consideration, we realised that he was right. SuperSuren does sound infinitely more catchy.

Besides... who wears the pants (and cool hat) in the band anyway?

How were we?

I have to admit. we were pretty nervous before the gig. i think we all admitted it at some point or other (me in front of the camera). after all, this is the biggest audience we've ever played to. we thought... what if they don't react? what if our sound sucks? what if we just fuck up?

well, the sound did kinda suck, and we did fuck up quite a bit here and there, but you guys sure didn't seem to mind! AWESOME...

thanks to you all for making us feel like a band appreciated, and not just a time filler before two movies we wouldn't watch (except with hot chicks like you, of course).

i think we all agreed that this was probably one of the best gigs we've played, and we have you to thank for that. special mention goes to a small group of women right up in front. when we saw them cheering so enthusiastically, we asked each other,

"wah azuan... your friendster groupies ar?"

"eh... i ingat bala punya fan club"

"no man, not mine... mine over there..."

"sen? suren?"

"nope, his one just his girlfriend. mine didn't even come... cibai"

"chak?"

"FUCKING HELL! We got real GROUPIES!!! WOOO!"

anyhows... not only to those lovely ladies, but to each and every guy or gal who woo-hooed or clapped... thank you, and we're glad we could spend a short time entertaining you. do leave us a comment about our performance if you like. we had an awesome time, and we sure hope you did too.

if i seem a little subdued, it's only because my shift key is fucked.

PS: trina - thanks for the nachos... they were good.
