The Wedding Singer Band
Last Saturday, was an event to be remembered. It was the wedding reception for my long-time neighbour, Hussein a.k.a. Bachin with his other half, Nasha. It was also the first time Neon Radius and the watcha-ma-call-it quartet performed live to a human audience (human?).
As we wanted to set ourselves apart from other wedding bands, we opted to play more bluesy pieces by Clapton, Babyface, Sting, Rod Stewart and Billy Joel to name a few. We also did our own rendition of Tudung Periuk in the style of Fourplay, much to the delight of The Neon. We even had several guests coming up to us to express their appreciation for either our performance or the setlist (it worked, dudes!) after the show.
It was a smooth evening (great organizing on Hussein's part), and we adjourned to the nearest TGI Friday's after each being about a couple of hundred bucks richer.
Little did The Neon know, Lmsn and I had asked the TGIF people to do the (belated) 'Birthday Sound Off' thing. It was after 11pm so not many patrons were around. As a matter of fact they re-opened the kitchen just to accomodate us (I guessed this is due to the fact that we were dressed like the 3 penguins... which was the name I initially wanted to use for the band). All in all, it was a good night, at least for the one we know as The Neon (I think)...
Trabye's take: Got to meet Mr. Modar, too!
