Club Dredd with Jollybug

I went to Club Dredd last Friday with Jolly. Yup, the-former-5-and-Up-reporter Jolly. We've been chatting through YM for a while now, and he'd always been the Jolly I met during 5 and Up's 7th Anniversary episode shoot in Fontana some 8 or so years ago. The one who always have this enthusiasm about music. Oh, the MTV and Alanis sing-along days! I was actually glad to see him last year at the RX 93.1 booth doing the job he loves the most: playing music and sharing his insightful thoughts about it by being one of the Radio One DJ's. Well, he's not really a full time DJ nowadays, but he visits the booth and be on-air once in a while.

He's a big fan of Up Dharma Down (UdD), and been wanting to watch the band play live and meet them, especially Armi, in the flesh. So I told him that UdD will be at Club Dredd in Libis.

We were both excited about the gig. It was my first time to go out after three months of hiatus and Jolly's first time to watch the band play live. I met his friend Enzo. Enzo was with his girlfriend, Vanessa. They're also a huge fans of UdD. The gig was scheduled to start at 10pm. We went in the bar at 9:45, and the seats were empty. We decided to settle though since it's a Friday and we anticipated that the place would be packed.

Jolly and his friends had the chance to meet Armi, Ean and Pol. There were two front acts before Up Dharma Down. The gig started an hour late, but it was all worth the wait. Plus it was a lucky night for all of us because UdD played two new songs from their up coming album during their set :)

Here are videos of UdD's performance that night. Enjoy!
