Today.....my feeling is very bad! i got a swollen eyes for more than 3 days already!
So i decided to see doctor after my visit to a music centre at Jalan Tengah. I together with my {lead vocal/rythm guitar} KEVIN with my biz partner SKLIM to the music centre to have a look and we had lunch together!
Then i off to Teng Klinik to have a small tiny surgeon on my eyes......{it hurts like hell}...:(
then i went back home to rest the whole days!
ok......continue back to my past story of my life on how I started a band!...WOW!
once upon a time.......neh!!!! this is old fashion :)
It's all started out in 1999...somewhere in April/May! I have receive a call from kevin (childhood friends) when Iam still in Informatics college new building which is located at Abu Sitee Lane!
They are all in a studio, Sam....Kah Lye....Edwin! They were in AMU{akademi music universal}
that is located in Rangoon Road. When I reach there, they were playing Nirvana[smell like teen spirit] I swear......that was the first time I've ever been to a studio that consist of drum, guitars, bass and amplifiers......Wow......make me feel like {kampung boys} seeing those gadgets!
The very first moment i listen to is.....guess what instrument that i have aimed?
ta..ta..ta..ten..........BASS Guitar! I had fall in love with the bass sound! This may sound awkward, to many people they will love guitar or drum because it ill produce something melodic, but i still prefer bass guitar!
From that moment, I have spend 3 month ++ lesson with MR Koay, after recomendation from my other friends.....i came out to form a band called Eli-Waile in December 1999!
The crew are:~
Lead Vocal/Rythm Guitar: Kevin
Backup Vocal/Lead Guitar: Sam
Drummer: Kah Lye
Bassist: Crispin {me}
We perform and enter competition several times in Asean Beat Band competition! The location and venues are like RockWorld{our fav place to perform},Bungalow,Dewan Sri Pinang, AMU.....
Our band ends at 2001 due to working commitment, and we {me and kev} start another band called Frostbite.....tha only last like a year before we started our new lined up GroundZERO
Consist of me, kev, Drummer {ken} and lead guitarist {azhar} a.k.a Ah SENG that helps us rock in bungalow Asean beat band competition...the day that we never forget how the crowd wave with us! but we lost in that final competition but it was worth it performance by the crew!
Then we had a replacement of Azhar by Chuet{currently know as Ocean of Fire} he led our band again to the final and we had something back at last! We Gain the awards of "BEST SHOWMANSHIP" in Asean beat band competition in 2002!
Then we had a stop in our band for more than 3 years due to our vocal {kev} is off to Tasmania to further his studies! Then it happen back suddenly in 2006/07 when ocean of fire won the competition in Penang and KL Asean Beat Band competition and it has draw our attention to attend the Grand Finale Asean Beat competition in Sunway Lagoon where we get to meet all the Asean band Champions like Indonesia,Singapore,Taiwan,Japan,China,Hong Kong,Mongolia....wow a day to remember...!
It's automatically reform backs our Bands with the new line up of ZEROorigin with the new lead guitarist WEE. This is where we stand until now.....we are organising,improving to promote our band in the local scene! So....to those who have view me......please support the local band if you know they are performing in Penang. It's not easy to organize a band to play it's with own composition songs, to perform in public and etc.......
