Rock-it! 2006 proved to be another interesting combination of musical styles. There were some awesome performances (Japan's Electric Eel Shock beating themselves down on the stage with their own guitars was err...scarily cool). The Academy rocked out at usual, Tom the singer climbed the staging and almost died - Ok, not really, but it was pretty good. Local band Fat Little Pig was hilarious, they had little jumps and "Hey, Hey's!" choreographed into their set. QuiHong, the heaviest Cantonese band on the planet were incredible, and the lovely ladies of The Shotgun She-Ras were foot-stompinly good. Other than these, there were some very ahem...different sets. Most notably a few that were so terrible that none of us could believe that they actually got a spot in the concert. Ie, The Spencer Douglas Band (dude, take singing lessons...Seriously) and headliner (WTF?) canto-pop singer Anthony Wong. Horrible, just horrible...even the locals who know who he was had to turn away and refill their beers. The thing that really confused me was that both nights of this "Rock" concert ended with Drum and Bass DJ playing to a spaced out crowd in the Tent. I felt out of place as I mistakenly left my Fubu gear, Skull Cap and whistle at home. I'll bring them next year if they managae to put on another Rock-it! (Dance-it! Perhaps?) Speeking of D&B DJ's here's a pic of me harrassing UK Club Legend - Goldie. Gotta get my caps done like that too. Wonder if my medical plan will cover it?
