And so it ends... But its just the beginning for us!

We didn't win anything yesterday, but at least we walked away with something much more valuable - experience and advice! Plus we had (or at least I had) a great time on stage.

By the time we got up on stage (we were the first band, quite stressed), I think most of us had the mentality "ah heck it, finals liao, just whack ah." And whack we did. I wouldn't say it was our best performance musically, but image wise I think we did our best to work on our showmanship (we were practically jumping around).

Seeing other bands play on stage was quite enlightening , and it really showed the many ways in which we have yet to improve and work on. The top band Xcalibur totally owned everyone with their technically sound skills and crazy showmanship. They had the real classic "rock band" vibe that you don't see much nowadays. Supernova were not spectacular, but what impressed me was that they looked good on stage, the so-called "tai fong" or stage presence. Although the songs they played were relatively simple, they were tight and in tune with each other. The 3rd band Hidama was the usual Tokyo Jihen funk style, unique and refreshing (though I still can't appreciate the vocals lol). To be fair she had that natural, "look-at-me!!" singing style.

The other band which didn't win, Xbred, was quite a surprise actually since I thought they'd at least get something. But their guitarist was quite right, without a vocalist they already had a disadvantage from the start. Still the stuff they did was crazy! I've still got a long way to go before I even touch the tip of their iceberg.

We were disappointed of course. But like Joe the soundman said, there are many opportunities out there for us. Really gotta thank him for all his advice and comments since the Jrock festival 2 weeks ago. Hopefully we'll get a chance to work with him again. And thanks to everyone who was there to support us!

For now I think let my Cort take a lil' break and give my accoustic some attention. Been ages since I touched it =.=
