TIPS for a Happy Life
This photo is one of those rare moments that we get freebies on stage...
The best part about playing the streets is getting those TIPS :-)
It's been a while since we got some free cash actually... Guess the world is indeed in an economic crisis....
Band Fact: Every song request you make with us will cost you USD 5 LOL!

The biggest open mic we've done so far... Fusing various musicians into one groovy sound... the question is... will they all fit on stage? :-)
here are some snap shots from the gig.
Fabien making a speech at the crowd (or was he sound checking??)
Gig in progress.... KC and Anna singing their hearts out
trick shot... KC drinking while on stage as Ms. Sterling jams with the band
KC and Gab vocalizing... they might be singing Creep at this point which is a song dedicated to KC by the way... A creep A weirdo The Crazy Filipino :-) now f*ck off! LOL!
Aya with the traditional Japanese "Peace" sign and KC with the ethnic Filipino "Everything is OK sir" sign
Song in progress...
Bertrand flirting with the camera... new hair style by the way :-)
Anna takes away the crowd with her soulful notes
Bertrand jams with Gabrielle - the powerful voice from down under
KC poses with Gabrielle... and yes KC secretly wishes that he had Gabrielle's hair as well :-)
Anna really feeling it this time... I wonder why'she's sad? Maybe the microphone smells bad???
KC and Anna singing Imagine
KC trying hard to look at the lyric sheet... He can't really read by the way... :-) Reading's for rich people only :-)
Bertrand sings Let The Sunshine In or something like that... from the movie Hair which up until now, I haven't seen yet...
KC with his game face... its either sad or constipated :-)
Anna - the 4th Queen of England with Benoit, Fabien, Oli, Aya and Steve as her Royal Knights
Sofi sings a groovy song for the crowd!
The new face of metal will be born soon - Gene Simmons tongue and the metal horns
More songs...
The deadly duo - Gab and Anna... combine the two and you have GabAnna!!!! Now where is Dolce??
Tyrone or otherwise known as Mr. Shredder!!!! Man this guy can shred :-)
Steve finally gets caught doing sax in front of the camera :-)
Voyeur shot of Gabrielle.. Naughty Oyen :-)
Aya with yet another peace sign :-) This photo seems like an ad for Tamtravel. Cool! :-)
Steve blowing off steam!!! He loves doing sax in front of people :-)
Ah finally! Fab is caught on camera... he always has the best lighting on stage :-)
I forgot the dude's name but I believe he is Mr. Sophy and he was doing a speech about the flood relief charity concert
Anna singing while the guys at the back are busy re-arranging
All great guitarists have cigarettes in their mouth when they play.. I tried to copy it but it doesn't work for me :-( I think I should grow a goatee instead
Banned soundcheck - Siem Reap's newest metal project :-) Composed of Ray (bass) and Paul (drums)
and the band goes on and on and on and on....
Let the sunshine in baby
low angle shots.. thanks Oyen :-)
