Went to this bandshow tonight at Tom Lee Music Hall with my Korean friend Boom. Was thinking of checking out band Locus since I haven’t heard them performing live plus I missed their show last time. Show started off late as expected but I’m fine with that.. pretty used to it. Turned out to have way less people than I thought, not sure why, but I didn’t really care as long as I get to see what I wanted to see.

The show started off with a Japanese band called Zechi-Mechi. I was pretty sure that they were Japanese not because they sang in their language but they yelled “We are from Japan” for like 8000x times…pretty hilarious lol. I think they were pretty good even though I wasn’t a big fan of the type of music they played. The drummer guy was totally awesome…and he was FAST! I was like …. what the fk that’s unreal….lol. The guitar/vocal guy was pretty entertaining too.

Locus was good. Again not totally the kind of music that I’m into but still I was able to see the effort that’s been put into the song/lyrics/arrangement. I liked the piano stuff and the way they played it, liked the oldish/analog effect that they had on the piano (or was that the actual sound from the piano? no clue) The songs were pretty melodic too, which is a plus as I hated repetitive boring shit like what you find in trance and some hip-hop. I have plans on writing/arranging my own piano music so basically I wouldn’t risk missing any chance of checking out how others perform so I could possibly learn and be more creative on my own stuff.

Boom and I left not too long after the 3rd band started playing. Hated to say this but god it was sooooo loud/noisy…! We were totally turned down and couldn’t stand it at all Might just not be the kind of music I like but I really didn’t know how to otherwise appreciate what they were playing…lol. Apparently we missed the bands that followed but I guess we just weren’t able to stand the noisiness plus I got work to do so it was a pretty good time to leave. Boom taught me hell lot of Korean words/phrases today which was really awesome as I’ve been learning Korean for almost 5 months now and still for some reason picking it up really slowly. Learnt “fuck you” in Korean too but of course I’m not going to say it here or anything XD
