I'm fading away

So this will be an update on Le'Vasiz and what they had the past week or so , which was Asian Beat and the jamming practices leading to the event. As you guys should know, levasiz didnt make it through the next round of the Asian Beat competition. I honestly don't know what the judges were listening too, besides around 5 bands , the rest of the 35 bands were playing the same type of music which was metal rock. I guess the judges had something in their ear in that same time.

Okay, I think i should stop ranting on the competition/judges and blame it all on ourselves. not. Anyway , it wasn't our best performance but it wasn't our worst either.We just did okay i guess... We're fading away....

The Life Of Le'Vasiz and Their Music

First let me tell you on our song choice and how we manage to choose one in such a short period.
Leading to this competition, the guy that has been writing tunes was Marvin. Since we've started, levasiz have always played an original song for any kind of band competition. This time they chose to pick a song made by marvin . It all started on the first day of jamming, Marvin had 3 songs for show. The members of levasiz had 2 agree on one song to play for Asian Beat.Well, marvin started the set with a few acoustic performances. I believe all the songs were nice okay but one song stands out the most which was 'All that I know Is That I Don't Know' .We still don't know why we chose the song but all that we know is that we don't really know.

Now I 'm gonna write about our daily schedule, through out the whole of last week, all we did were music and nothing else. Right after school, we'll all head back home for a short rest before we drive to joel's house. The first thing we do is always stepping inside the heavenly like jamming room in Joel's house. The aircond , aircond, carpet, camera, instrunents, amps and did i mention air-cond. So, we'll normally start jamming from 3pm right to 7pm with a lot of stuf f in the middle non-stop. We'll end up taking a break at around 5pm without fail at every jamming session. We will normally take a short walk to perling mall and the first shop we'll go there is to Le'Vasiz 's favourite restaurant ,McDonalds. Well , i would like to thank McDonalds in this blog for being kind enough to supply levasiz with meals they can't live with without.
Right after tea, we'll all head to the game arcade centre. There, Shahrul will be playing his 'TimeCrisis'(he's quite good in this) and the rest will run straight to Daytona.
Overhere, Le'vasiz will like to thank all our parents for giving us the freedom to do all this stuff and for being very supportive especially Joel's parents who let us hang out in their house the whole week. Then there's our biggest fans which is our friends....you guys know who you are,don't you?



At the eve of the band competition, Le'Vasiz had another special photoshoot session in.......place not to be named. We needed to submit a picture to submit to the fellas in charge of the AsianBeat competition.

On the competiton day itself, we did a couple of things right before the competition like getting our hair done by Touch Saloon. They became our hairstylist for the day. We had to pay zero bucks for something that cost around RM40. We were living the high life I guess. We would like to thank nigel's father,Mr.Loh for the hair and his saloon as well. They were great. So , anyone who wants to get their hair done , go to Touch Saloon in holiday plaza in the top floor.




Now, I should summarize up the story of LeVasiz in AsianBeat. The whole band competition started out at 2pm(malaysian time meaning 3pm). Luckily for Leroy's lucky hands levasizmanage to draw an early slot. We were the 12th band to perform. We were lucky enough not to take a slot at around 7pm-10 pm. How did Le'Vasiz fare against the other 39 bands in JB ? well, all that i know is that i dont know but I believe we did okay but not our best . We had problems here and there but It wasn't a bad performance. At least our music were different from the other shite metal-influence bands.

I've posted our performance here. So take your time and have a look. Leave comments too.





'ALL THAT I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOW'-Le'Vasiz

Sitting inside a room waiting for the rain to stop,
As I look into the hour glass, I feel lost,
Don't you cry, don't you sigh, no you don't have to buy
And you're standing while you're waiting for your chance to come

Don't you know the world is moving around the sun,
And you wonder if it'll ever come your way....

I don't think that I'll be there,
As I'm fading away and I don't care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong , you say you're right
And don't you know that all you know
is that you really don't know
You really don't know(I'm fading away)......

Lying on my bed and waiting for the sun to shine
As we look into the life inside our little heads
Don't you cry,don't you sigh, no you don't have to buy
And your sitting waiting for your car to drive real far

Don't you know the world is moving around the sun,
And you wonder if it'll ever come your way....

I don't think that I'll be there,
As I'm fading away and i dont care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong , you say you're right
And don't you know that all you know
is that you don't really know
You really don't know(I'm fading away)......

All you know is true...
All you know is true...
All you know is true....
All you know is true....

I don't think that I'll be there
As I'm fading away and I don't care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong you say your right
And don't you know is that all you know
Is that you really don't know
You really don't know....(I'm fading away)

If you have trouble trying to relate to the song , ask M.J.
