Super chinese month

Hey yooo,
Hope someone actually checked out Frightened rabbit from the last post. I'm planning to get a hard copy of the record when I get some money to spend! But before that I have to get myself something to wear on CNY which is only a week away. This is when the chinese in me rise up and celebrate with my tiny-eyed relatives and friends. If I have to pick the happiest time of the year, it would be this month. Nothing is better than being with family members, eating good (really good) food, playing cards and just laugh all day&night.
I still get excited whenever I hear the lion dance troupe that goes from house to house . I'll be one of the kids smiling and staring at the dancing lion.

I'm also hoping Old Tactics will get some action this year. It's been a while since we did anything and I'm hoping to get everyone together and play an acoustic session at one of the awesome cafes here. We have to write some original materials to present too. I can't wait :)

Last Monday I went to a bar & lounge called Artista and on mondays they have Indie night where all sorts of indie-influenced bands would perform but for some reason there was a terrifying heavy metal band (vibe killer but they were good). I met the guy who organized the event and he told me to add him on facebook if I am ever interested in performing in the future. So I did that and found his youtube account. That dude can sing and play the guitar so well *stalker-mode*. lol but seriously he's good and he's local and this is very rare. Especially his rendition of Jeff Buckley's Lover you should've come over and Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child.
