VAN SHE + DEXPISTOLS + LAPSAP @ Zouk KL

As some of you may know, Van She came over to town yesterday, along with Dexpistols the DJ duo from Japan, and the most-awesome LAPSAP. The party itself was a Heineken private function, which I got the invitation from the LAPSAP draw .

I arrived there about 10 o’ clock-ish with a couple of friends who got the invitation as well. The queue line was longer and was quite packed, compared to last week’s Simian Mobile Disco. So, I went in, the band already played 2 songs so I think I missed The Sea and Cat And The Eye. Inside, fuck, it was so friggin’ packed, you could barely move, so I was stucked near the entry. However, I still got a good view of them whom already started to play Talkin’, and yeah I started to record a couple songs that they performed. Their live performance is exceptionally good, I love how Nick (the vocalist, fyi) sounds just like he sounded like on the records. Only a few indie bands do that.

The live set ended about 11 o’ clock-ish (when my arms were pretty stiff from holding up the camera), Dexpistols started to spin. And hell they’re really good, even better than their Youtube videos. And then came Van She turns to spins. And then Dexpistols came in again to mash up some shit with Van She. Came along LAPSAP. And then they did some mash-up stuffs with Dexpistols.

Again, compared to last week’s stuffs, I like how the DJs (Van She, Dexpistols, LAPSAP) are all so interactive with the crowd, something that you would rarely see back at Jakarta. Have you ever been to a party, where there are guys who did some bodysurfing like it was a rock concert? It was one of the best party that I’ve ever been. I liked the lineups, the music, the crowds, and most importantly, the atmosphere that made me jumping from 11PM-3AM. Like every fellow Indonesian would say,

GOKIL MENG.
