Gig Diary: Noisy-Pop Vol. 2, Home Club, 30 January 2010
Salutations, fancy web dwellers!
I love reading sanctimonious exposé of life on the road. Some of my personal favorites are Ben Blackwell’s Tremble Under Boom Lights, Screaming Females’ official blog that’s updated mainly by their drummer Jarrett D and The View From The Bus!!, a blog by Steven who’s the touring lighting designer for The Killers. (PS: If you haven’t read Steven’s latest entry on the Killers’ Asian tour cancellation, you should.)
While there’s hardly any “life on the road” for us just yet, we still play the odd one-off shows, all seasons around the year. Naturally, because shows don’t really happen frequently or back-to-back, they become somewhat of an highlight of our band career. It also doubles up as a social outing because we also get to reconnect with old friends who would drop by, as well as make some new friends along the way. Just last Saturday, we played our first show of 2010 at Home Club and had a blast. Here’s what went down!

Greetings!
A new year is upon us. To kick things off grandly, we managed to catch one of our biggest inspirations live on January 12, 2010 at the Esplanade Concert Hall. It was a fruitful and rewarding journey, as we also got to meet the band, as well as spend some time with our friend Brian the next day. “In Chase, We Trust” indeed!
We are still reeling, of course. If you really want us to summarize the whole experience, we can only say: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are untouchable!
YEAH x3!
