MaD Open Mic Charity Concert at Banana Leaf

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.


MaD collaborates with musicians for this charity event - to help the families that have been devastated by the recent flood. The concert was held last 28th of October 2011


Gab caught staring at the camera


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

Steve blowing off steam!!! He loves doing sax in front of people :-)

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
