Fly-what?

After being made fun as the radio station with the name of an insect, the underdog radio station tried to prove its mettle by hosting a concert for its first anniversary, dubbed the fly-niversary (this station tried to fly-ise every single thing it can get away with including flyday).

The venue (extreme park) turned out to be some unused mining pool with the access road hidden near the traffic light junction. The place really lived up to its name - xtremely unkept and xtremely ulu... Luckily the concert venue was set up quite ok.

I was quite peeved that there no freebies distributed... not even the fly FM key chain being stuffed into the jar on its website.... what happened to them?

Wel as they say good things are left in the end. The concert was quite a blast. With the opening act by the energetic OAG . (after all the disasterous event planning I was half expecting some unknown dude from a nearby cafe to provide the opening act). Generasiku was fun with all of the us shouting "ohh ohh ohh" during chorus.. :)

I'm not so familiar with One Buck Short, so did not really groove to their beat. Faizal of OIAM soso... Camelia's vocal was uber power! and as expected, sang "seiring sejalan" to a roaring crowd. The only lowlight of her performance was her wardrobe, it was as if she was expecting it to rain that night, coming with a grey hooded sleeveless jacket. Also, she keeps on to "betul"kan her hood as if she is wearing tudung... Nitrus was great with their hit "Kamu"

In between their performances, the Fly FM jokers came on air to give away the only 4 freebies they have - go holiday packages to Langkawi, Bali, Phuket and KK. My friend and I concurred that there was some conspiracy going on in distributing the prize - seems that they are able to prolong the lucky draw thingy till the end of the show, and only then thye got their four winners...hmmm... wonder if the earlier numbers are to people who memang were not there... As usual , there were the bloopers done on Sexy Back and London Bridge

The ending performance by Pop Shuvit was the one that rock the house. You can sense the change in the mood of the audience as soon as they sang "Old School Rocka" (I'm still wondering it they did it live or recorded the sound effect part...)

The night was simply too warm for the after concert party, with the overpriced beers not helping much, so we ended up in Laundry for the after party chilling out. The way we got a seat amongst the weekend crowd is another story altogether...
