AFTER PARTY: Paramore Live in KL @ National Stadium, Bukit Jalil (19/10/2010)

The Story Begins...


The wait is over. After 6 years touring the globe, Paramore finally making a stop on our soil. Expensive tickets? Cry your heart out 'cause 8,000 fans were there and believed the concert was worth more than what they have paid.

Hayley and co put up a quality show to their fans who waited outside the venue as early as 4PM and performed 18 songs from their albums including their famous hits "That's What You Get", "The Only Deception" and "Decode" (ahem... for the Twilight freaks... ahem) with two encores over 2 hours at this long-awaited concert.


In the middle of the show, the band did a short acoustic session of four songs with light bulbs hanging on top and a couch as props. It was so calming when they performed "Misguided Ghost" and left the crowd singing the last few lines before they continue to rock the stage. Dim lights, the sound of acoustics and Hayley's voice that sounded the same like you hear in the CD were just amazing.

Fans wanted more after they left them hanging as soon as they finished performing "The Only Exception". So they did another two songs, "Brick by Boring Brick" and "Misery Business" to wrap the show. Y2K (the opening band) and a fan were invited to the stage for the final song. How lucky that dude was! He got the chance to hold the iconic carrot mic! Confetti, fireworks and one bloody rocking set drenched the crowd in sweats. Thank you, Paramore. Malaysians enjoyed every bit of your concert and we can finally sleep well at night.

The Story Begins...


With S$68 for one night event, I got to see two of my favorite acts Chemical Brothers and Empire of the Sun. Sweet little trip to Singapore that left me with the best party experience ever... even though we missed the first night.

We reached there roughly around 9:30pm and not too long after we got there, Australian Electronic band Empire of the Sun ready to rock the ground. The band did a set of songs including their monster tunes Walking on a Dream and We Are the People which thrilled us all. Even though crowd interaction was less, they still did a spectacular performance. A+ for the dancers, props, costumes and Luke Steele's amazing stage showmanship (especially when he perform on a wheelchair for Without You).

We left for food and back for Chemical Brothers.

Though it was only their DJ set, they still put up a good show along with blinding lights, massive laser setup, and their signature chemical beats. Seriously, I got really high without any substance. From Techno to Progressive and a little bit of Breakbeat, the duo put us all in frenzy. It was an amazing 3-hour set and they left us with "Star Guitar" and "Hey Boy Hey Girl" for closing. Epic!

More than 10,000 strong crowd was there partied till the wee hours. Great crowd, great vibe and great event. There's always a new experience every time I visit Singapore. Cheers to the Avalon team!

The Story Begins...


Whew... We'll be seeing Paramore live in Kuala Lumpur in less than 2 weeks. Now let's watch some of my favorite live videos from the band to get you into the mood!

First up, Misery Business. I actually love one of the lines in the song; "Once a whore, you're nothing more". This video is taken from their MTV Unplugged and godddd, this song makes me feel so gooood!



Another favorite live vid of the band is My Heart, recorded from their London show where Josh did an emo-screamo. Good song, beautiful lyrics; "Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?"



Crushcrushcrush. Undeniably the best song to hear it live. Taken from their Final Riot DVD. Perfecto!



Oh-ho, this final one is always my favorite and have been watching it again and again! Good crowd interaction, awesome stage showmanship and a great song to rock the shit out of you! Parap-pa-parap-pa-para!! Brick By Boring Brick FTW!



Bottomline, all Paramore songs are good! These are just some of the vids that I like. We gotta check'em LIVE on stage. Lock your date, 16th October. Paramore live in Kuala Lumpur at Bukit Jalil National Stadium is the place to be!
