And Whitesnake..

Last Tuesday at Fort Canning Park

Thanks to Soleh Solihun and Rolling Stone Indonesia, I got to see Slank and Whitesnake live in Singapore last Tuesday on November 1st. I have spent the whole day catching up to my work, and going to this concert was a refreshing quick break from work. Oh I have missed going to gigs so much. There are not a lot of musical thing going on in Singapore, unlike Jakarta, hahaha. Slank is AWESOME.

Ha! Highlight of my night. I wouldn't do this if I were in Jakarta, buuut since nobody knows me here, so what the heck! Thank you Samuel who sent me this photo. :)

Not a stage photographer: Public Enemy.

I'm not a big fan of hip hop, not a listener of this genre of music. I've never listened to any Public Enemy songs, but after watching their show in Soulnation 2011, I was left very impressed! Not just because of their music, but the whole attitude of the band. Mr. Chuck D is an exceptional human being. Watching him talk at the press conference, explaining about why he's doing what he does, is very inspiring. You can see how much he loves his music, and the things he does to give back the love to the community, to the people around him. Such a great, humble man, what a legend! 

I missed most of the show because I went to see Depapepe after getting out of the media pit. But I was lucky enough to catch the end of the show. This was the first show where I saw the crews handed out water for the audience at the end of the show. And having these two staffs going on stage to thank them personally for their helpfulness and kindness to the band!

Peace and togetherness!

Day 3 of Java Soulnation Festival 2011. So happy I got to use my Canon (which is lens-less!). Thank you Peter who let me borrow a lens from the studio. :D 

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is gorgeous!

Tika & The Dissidents,

always a joy to watch Tika singing.

And Depapepe!

The reason I wanted to go to this festival is to see this duo. They're so good!

And the lighting during their performance was just perfect.

There are more than 400 photos of them on my camera. Yep I got a little bit shutter-happy.

Public Enemy's photos will be featured in a different post, because oh, they deserve it!

Some photos from day 2 of Java Soulnation 2011, taken with my Canon and the tamron. Oh, f2.8, I heart you. :')

Mike Posner..... I don't know any of his songs. Ahem.

LMFAO turned out to be quite exciting to watch!

The night ended with a little bit of Shaggydog.
