The Gig: Post-mortem: The Sacred and The Inane
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/2006/03/post-mortem-sacred-and-inane.html
Post-mortem: The Sacred and The Inane. It has been a week already. we were thinking of doing a poll of some description, but then again, a pictorial survey was deemed a better idea. please do bear with the inanity, it's the sangap. Ness creeping in, post-gig! As you can see, fender. Came up tops and ruled the roost. we had ten guys wielding these babies. from the hot-rodded chinese-made to the true blue american beauties, their tones rocked the gig. One for ESP ( horizon. Three for yamaha (baitak's AES.

The Gig: 2002/03
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/2002_03_01_archive.html
Suck: Live at Northumbria University. Which in hindsight was probably not a really good idea for a name as we get to see later! The competition required each band to play one malay song and to provide a rendition of britney spears' .baby one more time. Bobby could only drive up on weekends which meant that suck. Only had a few occasions to practice as a unit. with a hitler-like jamming regime instituted by kudo, suck. Was ready to face the crowd and the judges in newcastle. Glasgow's scum 41 and a half.

The Gig: 1999: The competition
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/1999/03/1999-competition.html
At a gig organised by the guys from the university of north london, one fine easter's evening in 1998. they were the opening band, who played an entire set of original material with much aplomb. it wasn't a year later, that i got to fraternise with the bunch that was left behind after goof and bond left sheffield. AJ and his mates were living at the legendary (after bode's tale, it definitely was! It was one day at the students union when AJ and syatir decided to take a detour to buy a snickers bar.

The Gig: Of bad animals and a stupid mop
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/2003/05/of-bad-animals-and-stupid-mop.html
Of bad animals and a stupid mop. Boo hoo productions and the malaysian society of newcastle university organised a gig in april 2003. at that time, only three members of suck. As well as new rockers like the foo's all my life. Drumming duties was given to armijn who used to play for the then defunct spearmint. As a homage to the seattle scene, we named ourselves bad animals. After the recording studio. Amir was keen to play drums for us and we got dino, another spearmint. You need the right. The next tim...

The Gig: The gig that was: 2008
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/2008/04/third-year-running-we-had-to-endure-few.html
The gig that was: 2008. Third year running, we had to endure a few organisational mishaps to run the show this time. the original date in march was scrapped due to the inavailability of the broomhall centre. we did look elsewhere, but in all honesty, nothing beats the broomhall centre in our books! Onwards, we had a dearth of sheffield-based malaysian bands. so much so, the conglomerate. Was borne out of ah lian and donut since the only difference was the drummer. And the pièce de résistance. Of the even...

The Gig: The Gig @ Tin Pan Alley
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/1999/04/gig-tin-pan-alley.html
The Gig @ Tin Pan Alley. After the non-winning, disqualified yet superb (hehe) performance at the student band competition, the. Guys decided that it would be great to hold their own gig. spearheaded by AJ, RAILZ productions and Ganjpup Studios organised themselves on a shoestring budget and got their act together. sheffield had three acts. a megadeth tribute act called rattlehead. And extended coordinates, renamed as f.a.k.a.p. And adrie was up there riffing with his SG, smiling all the way in a not-so-...

The Gig: Sonic nirvana
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/2003/05/sonic-nirvana.html
Do you play live music to indulge yourself or to please the crowd? 25 minutes of spinal tap's jazz odyssey. For the love of the avant garde. Or a setlist of maroon 5's and linkin parks? We were asked by james if we could play some music during dinner at the 2003 summer MASSOC. Ball at this time, there was imran, firr, riki and myself left in sheffield. and as this was a formal evening, the setlist had to be mellowed down. way down. We called ourselves desperados. We included alice in chains' nutshell.

The Gig: The night that was
http://thesheffieldgig.blogspot.com/2007/03/night-that-was.html
The night that was. Someone wanted a review. i wish i could, but as a co-organiser, as much as i would reassure my neutrality in my writing, people may still accuse me of some bias. as i did last year, i'd do a post-mortem on this year's event. We had more people coming this time. so much so, we'd probably have a scuffle on our hands at the doors. on our part, we admit to our mistake of a recent online announcement of a handful. In advance of the event. so, you all know what to do next year, don't ya?
