NOFX Live in Kuala Lumpur

It’s been ages since I’ve last went to a real concert, but when I got a free invitation from FYI to watch NOFX live, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. So off I went with my friend Helen into the middle of KL yesterday evening. We took the monorail and arrived at the scene just a bit before their performance began. I didn’t have my real camera with me unfortunately, so all I had was the crappy phone camera in the pocket of my cargo pants. Note to self: need to buy a decent compact digital camera sometime.

Watching a concert in Malaysia is so much different than watching one back in the states mostly due to one big reason: in Asia, the majority of people are short, so even from the back I was able to see the stage clearly! The band members make an appearance, the crowd cheers, the music starts pounding relentlessly right off the bat and the crowd energy thickens.

Helen and I swam through the crowd and got closer to the front where things were much wilder and more colorful. It actually was a real punk rock scene complete with crowd surfing and a frenzy of energy and movement at the mosh pit. Some of the jokes and satire were not completely understood by the crowd, but of course that is to be expected as this place isn’t quite America. Overall, it was an intense hour of fun but my one main regret was that I didn’t pit myself completely in the moshing crowd. There will always be a next time though!

    it’s actually a yellow rag, one of their trademarks, for them it’s all about keeping it simple and raw :)

    speaking of drugs, some dude got his ass hauled off by the bouncers and he was obviously way too high!
