I didn’t mention before on any of my blogs but I went for the Placebo concert last week. The crowd turn out wasn’t what I expected and I heard that Placebo wasn’t happy with the ticket sales but heck.. the show must go on!
They played a lot of new songs which I wasn’t familiar with cos I haven’t listened to their latest album yet – Battle For The Sun. But I must say, it sound good and I’m so planning to rip it from my friend’s CD which I bought for her for her birthday!
I was also expecting to see a lot of emo-dressed kids but surprisingly, majority are adults, ang mohs and hardly anyone was in emo black outfits with heavily lined eyes and what nots. Pleasantly surprised.
However I did expect to see crazy people rocking and them I saw! One ang moh kid was jumping back and forth, pulled his shirt over his head while flinging his arms wildly in the air (like he just don’t care!). Thank God he was right at the back of the crowd where the only people in danger of being smacked at were those bringing in cups of beer bought from stalls nearby.
Another Crazy I saw, though not as mental as the ang moh kid (but still just as dangerous), was a young lady dressed almost all in black. She had a cup of beer in one hand and a lit cig in the other. And she was rockin’ with the music too, stepping back and forth, beer spilling and cig swinging dangerously close to those standing behind, front of her and those walking pass. After a while me and my people realised she was getting closer and we feared for our skin. We kept a close eye on her, making sure she wasn’t in our way and sadly, I missed out a small bit of Every Me And Every You cos I was distracted by that looney….. But I forgive her.
Here’s the song Julien which they performed at Fort Canning…
