Title : SuperKool
Time : 10:03 pm
Earworm: Sweet Child O' Mine~~Guns N' Roses4 more days to A levels and we're going out to Esplanade on a Friday night to catch Rafe? super...kool! hahahaha... it's a gig put together by SuperMario of Power98 fm together with his fellow countrymen Bad for Boys from Phillipines. since the mother-daughter missed dinner, we went to Makansutra to grab a bite... and missed the opening song of Rafe! it was the song we were there for.. Perfect Day.. ah well, enjoyed Everything, their first single. they handed the stage over to Mario who kicked things off with Nickelback's Photograph. Other songs they performed included Des'ree's You Gotta Be, and i quite enjoyed the duet between lead singer Madonna and Mario, just found out the song is called The Hurt by A Side. Jol perked up considerably when they played an oldie-- When I see you smile by Bad English, was amused by keyboardist Joe's emotive performance and how he taps his foot to the music. Another singer Red totally has this cool, chill out vibe and he could really change his voice to suit the songs like he could do an Adam Levine while belting out This Love and then a gruff version of Paul McCoy in Bring Me To Life. The climax was definitely Sweet Child O' Mine where Andy the lead guitarist really shone. his fingers, man! I was completely blown away and stand impressed. They finished with a medley of My Sacrifice and some other songs i cant remember. YH was so pumped up she wanted to stay for the 2nd slot which starts at 8.45pm. we all agreed to stay and jol and mar went around searching for Rafe's lead singer which Jol gushed about him being oh-so-cute. YH commended Madonna for her performance, and she encouraged her to go for Club Momo where they'll be playing for a year and wednesday's Ladies' Night! haha.. now she can say she shoke hands with Madonna! Pretty soon, Rafe came on again with Perfect Day. loved the wa-wa pedal Robin used to make the um, wa-wa effect. the Bad for Boys slot was shorter, they sang Everything I do for the oldie section and Mario sang one of his songs from the album. after jol pointed out not so discreetly that his ahem, member was huge, me and yh got distracted whenever he came on stage. haiyo.. was anticipating the grand finale of sweet child o' mine and Andy didnt let us down. im in awe.... loved the solo sections of the members. must mention marc on bass too... brings back memories of me playing bass. haha... after that, mar and jol went on search for awi rafael again but ended up with jol taking picture with Red (not Brown) and i went to buy Rafe's EP. the band was just right behind me and i waved for mar and jol to come over. they asked Robin for a picture and Jordan the drummer came up too and asked for their names, nice friendly people, Yh offered to take the picture and i squeezed in last second. later jol was mouthing off bout her earlier "crush's" attitude tho but appeased by Red handsomeness... (?) while Mar couldnt stop squealing about Robin's cuteness.
