A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL KAKI NANGERS WHO CAME DOWN TO SUPPORT (U KNOW WHO U ARE I DONT HAVE TO MENTION :mrgreen:) but I will:

To all our fellow bands who performed yesterday EXCELLENT SHOW! Congrats to the bands that made it to the finals especially to our FGL KAKI NANGER WLDEBOON'S AURIGAMI - GOOD STUFF BRO! Great Stuff also from King Kong Jane and Soul Excess and Page.

It was great having our co - kakingnang buddies RECKLESS HEARTS in our corner. Rudy & Imagine Yoko, Helven - excellent stuff.

Great meeting olf friendsthere again - Fandy (GSE drummer), Justagurl (oi call me old man summo :mrgreen:), fellow vocalist hangout dudes; LOBBIN HOOD and the rest of our non soft friends who were there.

I hope you guys enjoyed Jack Vs Jill's set yesterday. Overall we were pleased with our performance, sound and presentation and it was great working with old & new soft friends Justaphase (Emma - U rock Girl we must do this again soon) and Aquanaut (what else can I say buddy - your original song ROCKTRAIN rocks!) and also to my very own Retro Groove dudes Mani & Fiona for their efforts.

It was so darn hot & humid, I was dogged tired and exhausted bythe time we got home but I throughly enjoyed myself. Kudos to all and cya at my next scissor kick session .... :mrgreen: ( the fgl aerobic workword vid available soon by mail order) lolz ...

Hello Vickomaniac!

Awesome to know somebody took photos, we didn't bring anyone down to help feed our vanity, or at least mine! I give much thanks for taking photos of the band and the comp in general. If I ever use the photos on our myspace or anything, I'll be sure to credit your name.

CrapJam2008

It was mostly terrible. i sat thru almost all the videos on youtube
Alot of the bands weren't up to standard. yeah sure they all had their bits, but they couldnt maintain the vibe.
If it was the vocals that couldnt reach a note, or if they started to sound annoying.
The Musicians for the most part were almost Better but some had no contact with the audience at all. All they looked at were their fretting hand. Some too stoned to even move abit. Some having "spams" as if something just exploded behind them.

The overall performances were just too mediocre. yea i know im prolly the only mean guy (no im not,really) on this forum who criticizes the local scene ALOT, but I REALLY want to support!! but how to with such average performancessss?

Like i said, some bands here and there had it going for bits of the performances but couldnt keep the flow going.
It's like they're all nearly there? but need to take it up 2 notches.
for PERFORMANCE (stage presence) and Putting more Impact in their performances. SOUND better, feel better, play better
dont blame it on the stage. and maybe it was better live.


I have this Favourited on YouTube a LONG time ago

Even though the sound is pretty muffled they SOUND GOOD, and im not refering to the scream parts, you can watch from 1/2 way thru. Thats what i would get off my ass to see.

Tell me they didnt have that "vibe" going...

heh, dont give up yet

theres still many many many more local bands out there who dont take part in whatever competition, yet managed to attract people to them...

i dont know man, for the last 15 years or so till now, most of the local bands i dig, i dont seem to remember any of them taking part in any competition before. Its either their album, live shows that win me over.

the local band music scene, doesnt start or end with the bands in the competition. THere are a whole lot more bands out there who dont do competition, instead spending time to write music, play shows, record album, sell some, write more songs, play more shows and so on .

Dont give up yet, go out there and watch more gigs. Youtube clips really not a good measure of whats available out there

yeah because we all know POWERJAM is representative of the local music scene, and watching videos on youtube is be-all end-all way to judge music performances from your favorite chair.
