Sambungan: Nak menang Battle of The Bands?

Part 1

1. Praktis!
Pastikan yang kita tahu lagu yang kita mainkan inside out. Matlamatnya bukan maukan lagu tu perfect ikut metronome tetapi kita faham setiap segmen. Apabila kita telah faham segmen-segmen yang ada, performance sebagai satu band menjadi lebih cantik. Ini juga akan menghilangkan raut-muka dan body-signal "blur" di atas pentas.

2. Seleksi lagu
Anda di atas pentas pertandingan. Mungkin band anda memang terer. Boleh main odd-time signature, boleh buat calculus dan differential equation dalam lagu-lagu yang anda mainkan tetapi WAKE UP! Anda bukan bermain di hadapan peminat anda tetapi dihadapan hadirin yang mahu enjoy dan judge yang mahu lihat overall performance, interaksi penonton etc. Jadi, pilihlah lagu-lagu yang lebih accessible.

3. Performance
Directly related to #1. Kalau tak praktis lagu, bagaimana nak compliment dengan performance. Kalau dah lagu berterabur, ye tak? Performance tak perlu semua melompat-lompat macam monyet, mahupun buat aksi komedi di atas pentas tetapi penonton tahu yang anda sedang mementaskan sesuatu. At least, you yourself aware that you are PERFORMING. Kalau nak syok khayal sendiri, better main sorang-sorang dalam bilik je.

4. Rock Star, NO!
Your band is nothing, yet. So jangan berlagak macam rock star. Nanti dah femes baru la boleh jadi rock star. Be humble. Sebelum perform, jangan gaduh-gaduh dengan band yang lain. Don't take them down with unnecessary remarks. Itu menunjukkan how insecure you are dan juga HOW DESPERATE YOU WANT TO WIN! Aiseyman, main muzik pasal nak menang competition ke? Mana element "music" itu. Mana element "enjoy" dan "escapism"? Mana elemen "rebel"?

5. Build your fan/friend circles
Kalau anda di dalam sebuah institusi pengajian contohnya, then build your band's reputation. Take note: The crowd reaction to your band onstage juga akan impress the judges! Antara sebab kami menang ialah apabila kami muncul je atas stage, the crowd went havoc! Itu belum start lagi performance!

Lain-lain tu boleh pakai common-sense je. Paling penting, how much do you enjoy playing in a band, MUST BE reflected on stage.

Masa final SALEM Recharge tu, the MC was Radhio (OAG). Funny guy. Eventually, based on our rapport on SALEM Recharge tu, dia telah berbesar hati menyumbangkan suara latar beliau for free in one of our song.

One of the comment from the judge was he was impressed with the crowd reactions to our performance. The venue was literally shaken! Add that to the tight performance, confidence and a nice selection of songs... then what will you get?

A winner of course!

Nak menang Battle of The Bands?

Sukacita dimaklumkan, aku pernah menang pertandingan bakat kugiran. 5 tahun lepas. Anjuran syarikat rokok tersohor - SALEM. Nama pertandingan tu SALEM Recharge.

Masa tu SALEM kempen hisap rokok dengan mendekati mamat jamming seluruh negara. Al-maklum, nak promote dalam TV dan akhbar dah restricted. So diorang buat program hujung minggu, diorang book the whole day dan bagi bands jamming free. At the same time, ada representative yang promote rokok SALEM. Siap ambik gambar lagi.

Aku dengan LANGSUYR masa tu takde niat pun nak masuk. Kami jamming untuk preparation album recording.

Tapi just before the dateline untuk submission lagu untuk SALEM Recharge tu, kami buat mesyuarat tergempar dan keputusannya, why not? Kami submit dua lagu yang kami jam malam tu untuk penilaian.

Tak salah, antara panel yang menilai untuk seleksi ialah Man Kidal?

Dan memang kami terpilih dengan 12 (kalau tak salah) bands lain seluruh Perak yang akan masuk final.

To tell you the truth, kami bukan band pertandingan. Takde niat pun. Cuma terdetik ketika itu, why not? Ini penting dinyatakan kerana some of the bands yang masuk final tu, memang target untuk pertandingan sebegini. One of the band (tak ingat nama) memang notorious sebab selalu menang.

We went there without any hope ;)

Bands yang bertanding, cover semua jenis muzik. Rock kangkang, pop Indon, alternative, indie, band kenduri kawin etc Dan kami? DEATH METAL!

Nonetheless, we are probably the cream of Perak's bands kot? Panel pun handal-handal orangnya.

Keputusannya? We won. FIRST PRIZE. Bawak balik RM3000.

Apa sebab kami menang? CONTINUED here!
