Something else they did... not too long ago..

... was participating in ASTRO Blast Off! I think it was sometime early this year that they did, not too long after RJ ended.

The band took a day off and set to Penang for auditions...

Can you believe this^is the only photo I captured during the auditions? Actually I was at the back with Yazi and we were kinda sibuk tengok the band play and marvelling at the number of entertained people in the crowd, yep there were lots!

The band that came on before them was sooo bad (nak set up je dekat half-an-hour)that the crowd (others auditioning and yang sama sibuk2 join like me) naik boring. Then it was Superfriends' turn, they took about 10 minutes to set up, and played Milkshake (if I remember correctly). No surprise for the kind of applause they got, of course, and the organiser immediately hinted that they'll meet again in KL.

And they did...

... got favourable comments from the jury...

From left: Nazir, Siti, Nadya, Najuib lookin at sumthin else, Zam and Li listening to the comments from the jury which included Andi FlopPoppy and Jakeman of HitzFM.

By the way the photo above^ is one of the best taken using Siti's reliable ol' Lumix. But this one was recorded by Shahrul, the ones I took didn't look so good (height limitations).

They did not know there was an SMS voting thingy involved, and suddenly they found out they made it to the next round. And so the next round goes...

Photo above belongs to ABO. Apa ini macem punya performance takde rupa cam arena-concert ke?

... and again, some cool comments from (IMHO) not so suitable band of judges (I mean, are they real musicians/performers/etc in the first place? I wonder how they select them judges, but hey, if Akademi Fantasia can have Kudsia on... then the guy in the background on the photo below is... nuff said!).

Photo above ^ belongs to ABO. Check out the pants they're wearing (sans Li), semua beli kat Langkawi tu, they had a New Year's Eve function at one of the hotels there. Time tu baru lepas Tsunami Dec 26 tu, suspen je nak gi area open sea... but the show must go on...

But anyway, the band seemed to have gained more experience from ABO, met other cool dudes and dudettes, and went on to "Live life free through music!"

Live life free through music gitu...
