Just a Reminder

Dancing shoes at the ready: it's now just six days now...

And one in colour...

Wilf kicking back and enjoying the afternoon music.

A Lazy Afternoon

Not content just to rock the night away the guitar boys got their acoustics out for a leisurely unplugged set on the Saturday afternoon. With the sun belting down through a clear blue sky it was too hot to do anything other than order a cold beer and chill out listening to them.

More Melaka...

Finally our own pictures of that fabulous weekend start rolling through. As is my want, and as I took the pictures, even if on Paul's camera, I think I'm allowed, I've turned everything black and white. If you ask very nicely I might show some in colour. Until then...first up, Paul, Gav and Wilf making the heat of the night even hotter, and a close up of Paul.

That picture...

This was a complete accident, the result of my new camera being too complicated to use, reckoned at the time to be a complete failure, but you gotta just love this picture, and if you click on it, it gets even better, well, bigger.

Come on Baby...

It's been too long hasn't it.
But in just three weeks Krude will be back where they belong, upstairs at Little Havana,
Lighting Your Fire...

The Wall Comes Tumbling Down

This weekend will be a sad day in the KL music scene as the live music hangout, The Wall, closes its doors. The good news is that it's due to reopen somewhere new in November but until then Saturday will be the last night. If you haven't been yet, this'll be your last chance. If you have been then you'll want to come along and say goodbye.

Lost in most people's memory Krude did, once, play a short set in its previous incarnation as Titus Blues Avenue but never, despite being invited, seemed to organize ourselves to play a full gig. Hopefully we'll still be asked once the new Wall opens and we'll actually get around to doing it. Until then there's the farewell bash on Saturday. More details over on liveatthewall.blogspot.com and see you there.

More Pictures...

Courtesy of Chan, the manager of the Geographer Cafe, Mark has now posted a third set of pictures of the big bash in Melaka. Some pictures giving a much better idea of the fun the crowd was having. As well as this one of the best looking guy around!

Thanks for posting them Mark. Go check them out at http://photos.yahoo.com/rocknrollgrill and click on JWMF3.

That was a blast...

I don't know what else to say really. Great weekend. Big old stage in the middle of Melaka. Packed tables as far as the eyes could see and the sides of the stage thronged by those coming in off Jonker Street. Great sound. Great Music. And lots and lots of free beer.


These would be the first pictures I've received, courtesy of Mr Mark Ruffin, to whom thanks also goes for organizing the bash. May this have truly been the first annual Festival.


There'll be more pictures appearing here as and when I get them. In the meanwhile there's more of Mark's pictures over at http://photos.yahoo.com/rocknrollgrill and then go looking for the galleries called JWMF1 and JWMF2. There's pictures of all the bands who played and you'll find Krude somewhere near the bottom of each gallery.

Thanks to everyone who made the weekend possible and to all of you who turned to be a part of it.
