Day 3 A.M.

Sunday 18/7/11

today was the last show of the tour (and apparently ever) for Atomgevitter at a hot sweaty dirty studio in temerloh. the location seemed pretty remote but the people there were awesome. unfortunately we missed Sarjan Hassan, who sounded really awesome when Talib played them to me later on.. the first band on was SMG, who snuck onto the bill in attempt to play a set with decent sound. it was considerably better than their set and sound at noisy on friday just gone, so i was very glad to see them again. for the third time this trip! i feel very lucky considering they have a reputation for rarely playing. also SMG had a new split tape out with damage digital since the first time i saw them, only about two weeks ago. Sham was telling me they have put out about 75 tapes, mostly splits, 17 7 inches, mostly splits and 20 plus CDs.. fucking amazing shit. ive only got like 5 of their tapes, 2 7s and 2 CDs. need to get more...

Family Man were fucking great today. the owner of the studio turned off the stage ceiling fan cos harry was too tall which he considered dangerous. pretty funny. so they were left to drown in their own sweat. although the kids were all up in their faces frothing at the mouth, so they got away with just standing there and playing anyway...there set was fucking awesome, and the relative apathy of yesterday's crowd was made up for by these crazy dudes ten fold.

GVTR were up next, even though no one knew it was their last ever show, the crowd still acted as if it was, as they knew it was probably the last time they would ever see them anyway. the whole room erupted into a massive circle pit of chaos when they started playing. i also watched a bit from the "tommy cam", a small viewing point in the wall directly behind the drumkit. his tom fills were tight as a fish's arse! i felt lucky to have seen this final show, at one point i imagined how jealous their hordes of fans back in scotland would have been of me! i love this band and will definately be egging them on to reform if Crafter can ever make our way to scotland..

we then drove back to KL and crashed at Duan's. big thanx to the boys for letting me jump in the van! and Duan for a roof to sleep under both nights! ruling weekend
