Finally......

Finally! After 9 excruciatingly long, painful, wicked days, our exams are finished! It's too good to be true. But we still have our final term exams to worry about. Well, let's worry about that in a couple of months later. For now, let's PARTY!! We are going to a studio in SS2 tomorrow. I've never heard of it. This time, the people who are going will be the usual 5 of us, plus 3more. But first, me, Hong Koon, Johan will be going to Han Yun's house tomorrow, before going to the studio. We'll be jamming there for a whole 3 hours, specially for Han Yun's birthday, which was last monday.. What good friends you have dude..xD. Will update more about our outing tomorrow. Lastly, SCREW BARCELONA...=D..This is Gareth signing off..:)

The History Of IDS

This is how the band was formed. As I(Hong Koon)came into form 4 this year, I met Johan and Gareth as we were in the same class this year. It's my first year knowing them. Things went on normally until students from Nemesu transferred to our class. One of them was Han Yun. I soon found out that Johan, Gareth and Han Yun already knew each other for a long time. The day I was recruited happened when they overheard me singing in class, which is a habit of mine xP. They asked me if I was interested in joining the band they were trying to form. It was still an issue with problems, but I accepted a few days later. Later on, they revealed that they tried to form a stable band in the past few years, but never succeeded. They tried me out in a practice session where I met Kenzo and Deryk. Everyone decided to assign me as the lead vocalist. Later on when Deryk was gone, we repositioned the band and I was given the rhythm guitarist post while Han Yun turns to drums and Johan plays lead guitar. Kenzo sticked with bass.Thus, IDS was born. We were lucky because if Han Yun never came to our class, this band would never have existed. This is Hong Koon signing off. Remember, anything is possible, all you need is just "imagination".

Island In The Sun by Weezer

Singer: Hong Koon
Rhythm Guitarist: Hong Koon
Lead Guitarist: Johan
Bass: Kenzo
Drums: Han Yun
Cameradude: Johan's bro, Adrian(Thanks Adrian)

A live performance at our school(we are all from SMKDJ by the way)during LEO IU day. It's our first ever performance, so we were quite nervous especially Hong Koon. Us stoning is just normal, what do you expect from our first performance?!

Pork And Beans by Weezer

Singer : Hong Koon
Rhythm Guitar: Johan
Lead Guitar : Han Yun
Bass : Kenzo
Drums : Deryk(former drummer)
Cameradude: Ghost(!?)

The second song we tried to play, but failed miserably. It ended up with us just playing it for fun, the song felt great as we were all having fun. You'll be able to hear our lead singer scream in this video, enjoy! =D

Beverly Hills by Weezer

Singer : Hong Koon
Rhythm Guitar: Hong Koon
Lead Guitar : Han Yun
Bass : Kenzo
Drums : Deryk( Unfortunately, he's our former drummer)
Cameradude: Johan

The first song we tried and the first to be recorded, we never had enough practice for this, it just struck our minds, so we decided to try it out. As I said before, it's our first, so mistakes are acknowledged. Johan was supposed to be the rhythm guitarist for this song, but he don't know how to play it, so Hong Koon was requested to play Johan's position instead and he ended up recording for us. Johan you suck!
