Mini-review: MTV World Stage Malaysia & Good VIbes Festival 2014

2014's MTV World Stage was okay. Honestly, I only came for Yuna and she was..averagely okay. Not her best show but I still enjoyed her songs from new (amazing!) album. I didn't stay for the headliner, B.o.B but managed to see Thaitanium and a K-Pop group. 3/5 stars.

Finally, Good Vibes' second year in Malaysia. And it got better. Some delay caused by heavy rain earlier but the night provided magical stuffs from Banks, Empire of the Sun & Ellie Goulding. EotS were outstanding in both of their performance and props. While Ellie... this is the second time I saw her and it's totally different. More energetic and insane on stage. As usual, she sounded great live. Good end. 4/5 stars.

Waiting for Urbanscapes 2014!!!

Concert (Short) Reviews: Postiljonen Live @ The Bee, KL & Vertical Horizon Live @ KL Live 2014

POSTILJONEN
I went to the gig with the expectation of getting an Efterklang impression all over again; to fall in love with the beauty sounds of a never-heard-of Scandinavian band. It fell short though. But Postiljonen did good that night. Can't wait for The Bee/Upfront's next gig (Deerhoof). 3/5 stars.

VERTICAL HORIZON
On 3rd of June, I went to see one of old-school radio rock bands, Vertical Horizon. It was awesome! To see them play I'm Still Here and the consecutive  threesome hit of Everything You Want, Best I Ever Had & You're a God at the end, was more awesome. The opening act, OAG, was great too. They also played a new song called 'Wannabe', which was fresh and brilliant. Can't wait for it to come out on radio/online. 3.5/5 stars.

2014 feels so dry but I'm still cool with what we got, so far for now. Waiting for big events like MTV World Stage, Urbanscapes, Good Vibes (if they still have it) and a rumored Upfront Arena gig (I heard it's gonna be big!)
