UGLYM3N = GAYM3N

i had a short jamming session with michael yesterday just before his class. michael teaches guitar, piano and keyboard. so, before his student arrived, we jam a little bit on our new songs for the singapore gig. ah hooi did not manage to come back as he was busy with work. the company which he works now has just implemented a new system and they are at the first week of supporting. according to him, he’s busy as hell. i want to know how busy is hell actually.

michael is playing in another band in alor setar. this band used to be professionals and they were like legends. their band is called “Lao Lang Band“. michael is playing the guitar as well as singing a bunch of beyond cover songs. i believed that the band is going to perform at jalan putra in alor setar on the evening of 11-february. the whole jalan putra (new street) will be closed for some festival. too bad that uglymen is not involved in this activity.

i am currently digging some old records which were extremely popular during the early years for us to play. i have discussed with michael and he gave me the nod to play these songs but it must be after the singapore gig as he has too many songs to cover currently. it will be a BIG surprise for us to play these songs cause i do not see these songs being played live anymore. i heard karaoke version and they are crap.

my cousin, ah lai the bass-man has migrated to penang to work with a high profile dumb-ass company who cuts his salary by 10%, broken promise to provide him accomodation + getting him to work half day on saturday. on the bright side, he got to play in a country band with some good musicians. i believe his band is called “Lao Lang Cowboy Band“.

ah hooi is in talk with a friend to get us to play in taiwan, but chances are slim as we do not have any good contacts in taiwan to help bring us in. being busy as he is, ah hooi still manage to hook us up with a rocker from singapore to get us play in a music festival in … in … in singapore again.
