West Coast Park gig

Yesterday, I was awoken by a membersss, Yeeyong at 11:30am asking me if I was interested in playing a gig in West Coast Park. Apparently, membersss AB bumped into our friend, Zhiqi the previous night at Zouk winebar. Zhiqi who runs his own events company asked AB if we (that is, the 78 Love Experiment) were interested to play an acoustic set for a National Parks event held in West Coast Park.

With less than 5 hours notice, me, Yeeyong and AB met at 2:00pm (3 hrs before the gig) and chose the songs to rehearse. Weiyuan and Andy couldn't make it. Initially, we wanted to do a couple of original tunes. However, due to the lack of lyrics, we vetoed the idea. So, we played a set of covers instead and did 4 songs, Radiohead's "No Surprises", "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Creep" with the evergreen "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".

Though I think the Radiohead angle was overkill, the gig had less than 10 people who were mainly performers attending the event. Thankfully. Of course, we pretty much screwed up the gig. And of course, being the geniuses we were, we brought our electrics to an acoustic set.

Well, it'd be more fun playing our own tunes though.
