Tune in: RTM2, Saturday 26 June, 8.30PM

I'm trying to load the footage of Band Superfriends' stage rehearsal of the first round of their RTM Rentak Juara 2010. Not sure if Blogger will let me get this done.. Anyway... TING! TING!

Superfriends' is up for their second round in RTM's Rentak Juara 2010: Julang Jati Diri. This time the guys will once again feature their own song. I won't tell you guys much about this song - you have to tune in to RTM2 at 8.30PM to find out.

But what I can tell you is that the band composed the song together, and this was done during the time Nadya was around - which means in terms of vocals Superfriends featured both Najuib and Nadya's infusions. So no telling what their up to. I'm thinking they might use Syawal's vocals to replace Nadya's lines... or could they talk Siti into it instead?

The other song they'll be playing will be a folk song - as per required by RTM. I kinda admire RTM's creativity in giving out the challenges. They're using themes like Current Hits, P. Ramlee's classics, Love Themes, Award-winning songs... and so on.. So the participating bands have a good chance to show their level of creativity and musicality.

Best of luck to Superfriends! Let's pray they'll bring home the RM200,000 and bag some of the Best Musician titles... Amiiin.

BTW... can't load the video up. Will find a converter software thingy or something... check this space again soon...

Superfriends preps for next RJ round

^ Someone gave me a screenshot of Roslan Aziz's FB status in which he noted "Roslan Aziz thinks Superfriends is a good band". Well there's room to grow guys!

It's quite an experience for the band to see rave reviews about their performance a couple of weeks back. To have one of the judges, Roslan Aziz tell last week's contender, Enava that they are the band that can give Superfriends stiff competition is also an honour.

Firstly that just goes to show that even after five rounds of RJ prelims, Superfriends is still one of the more memorable bands out there.

Secondly, Enava itself is a great band and its lead singer is one of the most seasoned and multi-talented performer.

So on both accounts I believe Superfriends should take note that they really need to gear up as judges, competitors and viewers' expectations are soaring high. No pressure guys - just have fun and give us your best arrangement, best sounds and best performance at the next RJ round!

Break a leg!

p/s: Friends, in case you guys are wondering where the new girl is, Tom has left the band to persue her music career that seems to have taken off just when she least expected it to. So the band is back to 6-piece...
