Last Saturday was my school's (SMKDJ) Interact IU Day, and we performed in it. Our band name for this show was Potato Punishment, yeah created again by me in just a blink of an eye. It's also in a way our class band since all the members were from our class! This shows how cool my class is :)
However, the event on a school day! It's good in a way that we get to skip class for soundcheck but bad at the same time because we couldn't really make noise! We were having soundcheck for the song Brick By Boring Brick and out of nowhere Pn Ruth (one of the school administrators) came into the hall and shouted at us! To top that off, she took all our mics away and said if we made any more noise, she's cancel the band performances!
All the bands had to be pushed to the end of the event, we could only play after 5! We were the closing act so we were expecting a really awesome hyped out crowd! Let's get right into the performances!
Potato Punishment Part 1
An acoustic cover of Matchbox 20 - Unwell. This was a really last minute decision but honestly, that's what were all about and that's what makes us so special! Cover was by Tian Xi and Kemuel only. The rest of us we're still chilling back stage waiting for the upcoming song. The crowd was really supportive by singing along too!
Potato Punishment Part 2
This was another last minute call. Blink 182 - All The Small Things. The first and second song were only decided the day before and we actually only practiced the second song a few times during soundcheck on the day itself! Me, Yoong Tat and Kemuel were playing in this video.
Potato Punishment Part 3
Hero Heroine by Boys Like Girls. It was Me, Kemuel, Tian Xi and Jian Wen. I think the crowd really enjoyed this song! Especially when Jian Wen sang the bridge, all the girls went wild! Love to hear the crowds voice when they sing along and clap to our performance :) Really happy with this cover.
Potato Punishment Part 4
Brick By Boring Brick. We were really hoping that we could bring the crowd in front of us. But the teacher didn't allow us! LIKE WTH! Ugh, but the crowd stood up at their places anyway! We did a little bit of mistakes at the end since we kept changing parts of the songs too many times. It didn't really matter though as long as the crowd enjoyed it! Raeesah sang the song, her first time singing for a band.
Woah, I guess you could say that was the best performance I had so far. The crowd really set the mood for us, how they cheered and supported us ;) We still felt awesome a few days after the show because of you guys!
Some pictures of us during the performance, thanks to Zhen Yang for the pics!
Some of our awesome supporters, sorry but I don't have a picture of the crowd to post up but you guys were really awesome! Especially when you guys sang along with us and stood up! How unfortunate the teacher didn't allow you guys to get in front & up close. Who knew what could've happened then haha.
It was a good good day. Really can't wait to perform again. This gig has really set the mood for us to perform better and perform more in front of bigger crowds! Full photo album can be found here. Oh yeah, we are Potato Punishment!

Keep rockin'!
