Laura tries to remember things. Every day is a punny day. Too much heavy music, Japanese things and wanderlust.

Now that the “announcement party” for Bazooka Rocks happened…  Here’s the official lineup for August 25 @ SMX Convention Center!

TONIGHT ALIVE

+ Because We Can, A Sleepless Melody
@ The Factory Theatre // 16.05.13

A Sleepless Melody → I found them very average, and not really my thing.  Easy listening, cute songs, I guess if you like bands along the lines of The Maine you’d like them.

image“BREAKDOWN!!!!” hahahahahahahha but no

Because We Can Just to prove I am not that biased as to saying every band that does not fall within my usual taste is average - I liked these guys a lot better because they just SOUNDED better overall and were more lively.

image

Tonight Alive Went into the show kinda familiar but not really super impressed or a big fan or anything but got curious because friends said they were good live and I liked the Rufio cover + Wasting Away… But am now a convert. They’re very dynamic and engaging live and just kinda take the songs to another level onstage.  Truly impressed!

OOF like 98% of my photos but I like the pose so w/e haha

Points: Little Lion Man pit, first play of new song (The Ocean), acoustic was Let It Land, Starlight performed on crowd~

Met some friends (◕‿◕) and got hit in the head (ಠ益ಠ) and stuff~

DEFTONES + LETLIVE, HYRO DA HERO
@ Roundhouse // 15.05.13

Hyro Da Hero was kinda out of place in the lineup, haha.  Not saying he was awful at all but what an awkward choice of support for this type of show o_o

Letlive were the most interesting!!  Didn’t stop moving throughout the set and I like how they do their own thing sound-wise.  Jason Butler is a madman and I mean that in a really good way.  Mean live band.

Hadn’t actually set my expectations that high for Deftones but their live show is, how do I put this…  The type that you would go, O_O UM WOW.  Really excellent at what they do, played a long set (and by long I mean the setlist was 2 pages but no Knife Party/Passenger) and 3 encores.  Never seen the Roundhouse this packed before, even up at the balcony there were like 3 rows going.

My Deftones photos are ugly as fuck and the only 2 I liked looked better in color but I wanted them all to match sooo :x oh well, last one is Letlive watching them from the balcony but it’s a bit hard to see in B&W I guess.

Tonight Alive one next next next wait wait wait

FRIDAY NIGHT

RELAX AFTER ASSIGNMENT DEADLINE!!!  2000 words one slayed, a few more to go :<

image

Pizza for late dinner at the Italian restaurant on the corner of Pitt & Liverpool Streets.  Average, but the one with heaps of meat and chorizos is pretty tasty.  The other one we ordered had prawn and mushroom :>

image

Dessert at Passionflower which I have been wanting to try for a loooong time (especially because of Sarah’s instagram ;w;).  Their cookies and cream has lots of oreo chunks :D

image

Followed by purikura upstairs~ The Love Rasp Berry machine is not good though, lol very out of date but oh well XD

image

Then drinks at Sanctuary because I always forget my ID (ahem, passport) :| for my lychee “is that water?” drink lol.

Best be sleeping earlier today, Deftones/Letlive tomorrow night!!

blamecanada asked: Hey! I just wanted to tell you that your clothes and hair are always awesome (:

Oh wow! Thank you so much ヾ(*´∪`*)

WOLLONGONG PT.2

This time from my camera!  Woke up super early (by my standards lol) because it was about 1.5h drive from town.  First ~road trip~ in Australiaaaaa

Nan Tien Temple

You had to take your shoes off to go inside so I only went in this one, haha.

image

Vegetarian version of cha siu pork for lunch.  Only it’s not pork because they don’t serve any meat at their restaurant.  It tastes like it, but with fish cake/fish ball texture.  Also got spring rolls

image

Pagoda (did not go inside) and giant gratitude bell slightly uphill that you can hit. Most of the photos from the last post taken there.

image

Back to the car…The milk carton kinda matches my nails HAHAHAHA

image

Went to visit some blowholes, where water comes out of a hole in the ground.  The Kiama one is near the lighthouse and on the bottom-right photo.  It was super cold and windy and hair salty haha, crazy weather.  They ran around chasing scary birds after ><

image

Went to Little Blowhole after, which is much better - less crowded, not as cold and bigger sprays of water from a more comfortable platform view!  Since the upper-left photo from above might be a bit small, let me direct your attention to this person fishing right next to it.  Definitely not afraid of the cold, haha.

image

Headed back to town for Ippudo Ramen dinner (order Akamaru Shinaji :D) and Max Brenner dessert after (the banana praline crepe is damn small, waffle is still the best)!!

WOLLONGONG PT.1 

A few photos I didn’t take from yesterday’s road trip.  Tracy was very excited by the super green grass near the temple hahaha!  Looks so much like NZ XD

southkitten asked: How do you feel about Jeff Hanneman's death?

Needless to say, it’s very sad and unexpected news as he was a very talented and influential guitarist.  Lucky to have seen Slayer with Jeff earlier this year.  At this rate, I don’t see the band continuing for much longer tbh :\

RIP Jeff

UTOPIA HAUL!
I was going to call it my RSD haul because I picked up the CoB album and the free poster (KsE!!  Sorry, it&#8217;s a bitch to unroll and I&#8217;m in the process of cleaning my room as usual) 2 weeks ago on Record Store Day from my favorite shop here since I don&#8217;t collect vinyl or anything&#8230;
But now it&#8217;s more like the album exchange club since I went shopping with a friend last week and he bought Dum Spiro Spero to lend me (I just figured they would look nicer in the photo together ha) so I&#8217;m lending him Relentless Reckless Forever tomorrow hahahahaha ok.
Anyway since I&#8217;m already on this topic, my favorite musical discoveries of the week have been MERRY, Dazzle Vision, LOST&#8230; and I am currently checking out letlive before seeing them with Deftones this month since I hear they are mad good live.
CAN&#8217;T BELIEVE IT&#8217;S MAY, all the deadlines and pressure are sinking in, haha.

HAIRCUT☆彡
My head feels light again, yay for freshly cut hair though it feels super weird to kind of have eyebrows~!  Went to Aria again because they&#8217;re great at shampoo and head massage ^^
Also picked up my photobooks order (KYARY BON!!!) from the post office today, I guess I should post about those soon.
