MGMT @ Bukit Kiara, KL

Comments (7) Party

I’ve listened to their first album more than 200 times from beginning to end
I’ve memorized every beat and twang in all their songs
I’ve dozed off to their psychedelic melodies and had dreams of flying in space
I really love MGMT
Even though i’ve heard that they’re not great live,
i still wanted to go because:
1) not enough concerts happen in KL
2) i really do love them even if they’re gonna disappoint me live
I even bought tickets for myself and Clem on the FIRST DAY THEY WERE OUT,
not wanting to assume that i might get free ones later on.
I just didn’t wanna risk it!

One thing i didn’t expect was the absence of alcohol at the event arena.
The last time there was a concert where there was no alco was at Zee Avi @ KL Live… and that i understand since she has a predominantly Muslim audience here.
But MGMT… *speechless*
It made me almost wish i didn’t bother buying my ticket.
What kind of concert doesn’t sell beer?
They say there were underaged kids there… ever thought of doing an ID check like they do in the UK?
Geez.
If you ever denied adults alcohol at a music event overseas, i think there would be a riot.
At least TELL people on Twitter before the concert la!

Luckily my past alcoholic sixth sense kicked in a bit that night,
and i had drinks at home and outside before going in.
BUT STILL.
People who love music and beer like i do will GET ME.
I kept apologizing to non-Malaysian friends i bumped into at the concert,
going, “I’m SO SORRY we don’t have alcohol at this concert -_-“
Like why am i even apologising when it’s not MY concert?
Cos i’m embarrassed that’s why!

In the end, Sa saved the night by getting her driver to buy beer.
So we all skipped out halfway to down our cans

I attempted to smuggle one back in my skirt but the others said i looked very wrong.

Small people unite! Aps, SueLynn + me

I get what people mean now when they say MGMT is boring live.
They play good live, but the thing is their music is the sort of thing i listen to when i’m lying down on my bed zoning out,
not something you’d party to.
Still, just getting out for an occasion to drink (smuggled beer), talk rubbish with friends and layan a bit was fun.
I was complaining like crazy that night,
but at the end of it, i thought,
jeez, people are suffering all over the world and i want to whine about a concert?
I should just SUCK IT.

We went to Backyard after that to haveย  few pints before calling it a night.
I really felt like going out to play in Barsonic,
but Clem didn’t feel like it, and i felt bad (bla bla bla)
and we had to continue moving house so i decided not to.

me + Sa. Looking at her you won’t believe her age.
Really, in my mind she’s not really her age.
And well, i can’t write her age here, she might just unfriend me.

    I was complaining the entire night as well, esp. aobut hte lack of booze. How the hell are people supposed to enjoy a 12-minute psychedelic rock song like Siberian Breaks WITHOUT ALCOHOL? Sheesh.
