The Misfit Ramones were invited by the organisers of Soft.com.sg & SOFT's Band Collective Singapore (SCBS) Halloween Party Gig held at Tanglin Community Centre's Chocolate Bar last night and we had a blast. It was an intimate event with fellow bands and guests in attendance, enjoying the atmosphere and ambiance of the bar and the music being played. It was a small venue, so in terms of the sound, every instrument played manage to cut through, so it was pleasant for us to play and for the audience to hear as well. Granted, our kind of music may be out of place in such a intimate setting but judging from the reception during and after our set, I guess it went pretty well so I'm happy with how it turned out.

A couple of prominent individuals in our local scene were in attendance such as James Woo, owner of local music forum www.soft.com.sg, Donald Poh, popular photographer in the scene who have shot for numerous local gigs and also Ron of Blueprintstudios.org, famous for recording local gigs and posting them on his gigvideos page on Youtube. We planned a setlist that would be relevant to the Halloween theme so we played a lot of Misfits classics, a cover of Turbonegro's I Got Erection and also a cover of our drummer Mizar's Malay horror band, Zombie Kampung Pisang Band's Hantu Tetek. The crowd requested for an encore so we settled on our original, Bird Shit and that was it.

Supertzar who were the final act for the night were brilliant with their Sabbath covers. Frontman Peter deserves a bigger stage with his persona and presence while the rest of the bands were real tight, especially James Toh on lead guitar and Antonio Lee on bass, both armed with sick individual skills that were showcased from time to time in their set. Val on drums keeping everything together on drums and there you go, a bunch of talented individuals coming together to make one great band. Very entertaining stuff.

I am really glad the our set went well and everyone enjoyed themselves through the night cause my team disappointingly lost 3-5 to our rivals Arsenal, so you know, this really made up for that disappointment. Even made friends with a fellow punk rocker, Joe Sarre, who's from UK's South London scene, giving us compliments and offering to get us beer after the show. :)

Ron of Blueprintstudios.org recorded our entire set. You can watch it on his Youtube page. All links related to this post will pasted below.
