Khao San Road or Chaos San Road?











I got back from bangkok last thursday. Went there cos the band i am with(Hayagriva) was invited to play there for the Helloween Fest at a place called Immortal Bar. We arrived on monday 9pm and all of us was tired cos the day before we played a gig in Taiping. The journey was KL-Taiping-KL-Bangkok. For the lots of us, 2-3 hours sleep is just not enough.
Well, Khao San Road is just a strip of road full of clubs and people selling crafts and wares. We checked in as soon as we arrived and refreshed ourselves before having dinner.
The Immortal Bar is just a small place that can fit 200-250 people. But i really like the equipments they put on stage. It's a small stage but the amps, 2 Randall RM100S, Hartke 3500 bass amp and a 5-piece Ludwig drums, i'm positive it'll pack a punch. I'm not sure about the sound reinforcement though cos i didnt manage to go behind the bar where they put the equipments for the FOH.
We got one whole day free to relax and decided to go for Thai massage. The guys and the masseuses laughed at me cos i actually slept, and snored, during the massage.
The next night is Helloween nite. Everybody there turned into ghouls, zombies and everything scary. We did too. With our corpse paint, leather pants and spikes, we're ready to turn that place into hell!
Well we did. Everybody in the Immortal Bar joined us in a trip to Black Metal land where Satan rules and everything else sucked.
It was the longest setlist we played. 10 songs in 1 hour.
We were really glad that the sound was great and i even experienced the crowd headbanged on my bass. Fortunately nobody got hurt.
After the gig, it's post-gig party.
I cant say much about it cos i cant quite remember what happened so i leave it to you all to guess.
And the next day, if i recalled right, i was on the plane back to Kuala Lumpur.

Fuh jadam... jadi hantu kat Bangkok!

Aku plan nak beli Randall RH150G3 half stack... OK kot? Ada dua option cabinet, satu Randall speaker satu Celestion speaker... aku rasa Celestion speaker lagi bagus kot? Mahal la about RM600 more (untuk cabinet).
