Kings of Convenience

It was a stormy night, but the fans are most comfortable. Held in Bentley's Auditorium, an empty hall with carpet hall and good that keeps the sound warm and just nice. No chairs. To me, it is like a mini woodstock held indoors where carpets are like grass where fans can sit down or just stand up and cheers. Kings of Convenience are finally here. I have been waiting for them to come since I heard them 5 years back. WOW!
The best part is their vocals are so warm on CD and hearing their vocals live is like wrapping yourself with a warm blanket on a cold night. Quite a number of songs from the new album which I have not heard before but also quite a number from the old ones. Hearing 'homesick' live nearly made me cry. So much flashback from my hostel years, where I would play it late at night while I blog. However, it would be complete if I could hear Manhattan Skyline too that night. The band is tight along with their sound engineer who does most magic on the sound that night. Creating great dynamics.
The crowd is amazing too. I have never knew most Malaysian would know them. And for once, crowd that sang and clap back is perfectly in synch with the performance. None were terribly off pitch and beat. When they sang along as backup prod by the duo, feels like a mini choir downstage. The feeling is great :) I cant wait to see them back again.

Not to mention, the opening act Tender Fist, local group that plays electronica type of music, makes it so euphoric. They did a short collaboration with KOC too, which was brilliant when they sang 'Rather Dance With You'. Too happy to be there to hear Kings of Convenience life. Thanks to Sash and Ian which I drag along. Met some old friends too and 'The Smile" that I havent seen for years. Credits to Michelle for the pics I used here, not for commercial purpose btw if u happen to stumble here :) hope u dun mind.
To round up the night, the tom yam from the mamak below the tattoo place that I crave for after concert! And also finally I have tried the PIzza Cone Day. Fantastico Sunday :)
