The lovely Delphic and Two Door Cinema Club came to Hong Kong for their first show in this petite city. I've always been a huge fan of Delphic. On the concert day, I was too excited that I only had a meal
and some sports drink before the show. I survived. Wow.A local band PixelToy (or something) opened the show. Awful. Terribly awful. The vocalist screamed too much which I thought it was rather unnecessary. To me, I stood and put up with a bunch of cacophony for like 20 minutes or so... My ears started to ringing before the proper gig even started - so thanks for those cacophony.
Delphic was on first. To be fair, I was disappointed seeing them out first. I thought Two Door were supporting them , thus Delphic were going to play longer. It might be obvious that I went to the gig for Delphic, as I like them bit more. (I'm not saying that I don't like TDCC, I'm also a huge fan.)
Started off with Clarion Call, it was legitimately a clarion call to have your feet of the ground - dancing. I danced and tried to record the show at the same time. Failed. Anyway,
when Doubt's intro was played, everyone gone wild. I don't know, but people around me seemed not to know the lyrics at all. In my area, I was the only one who was singing along (despite the fact that I sang the wrong verses...).Back when the show even started, I heard Delphic rehearsing. It was Remain that I heard with my half-deaf ears. I almost cried when I heard them rehearsing that song. It's such a good song which fills my eyes with tears everytime. I don't even know the reason behind.
I was more than happy that they played Red Lights and Remain. The only rant was that Submission wasn't played. Also, they had a bit of technical difficulty halfway through the show... At that time though, Rick was showing off his piano skills. It made me quite ashamed since I seemed to have forgotten com
pletely how one plays a piano.Delphic's session ended with Acolyte. I enjoyed their session so freaking much. My friend who went with me said to me during Halcyon - "That's exactly what it's like in a disco!!!!!!!".
During the pause, when the gears were being changed and all that, me and my friend had a discussion... We started talking about the height of the band members... All of a sudden, I felt like an ant.
Not long since the pause, TDCC went on. The crowd went crazy. My favourite song by them, Eat That Up, It's Good For You, got played, so I was generally a happy person. They did the encore part, and it was totally amazing. The crowd seemed to have moved a bit more during the TDCC session, which I believe is that Delphic helped them to warm up a bit.
Throughout the show(s), my serious head-bangs caused the security guys to gave me weird looks.
I was so lucky to have met all the members from the two bands after the show. They were so friendly. I had some quick banters with most of the members, and realised how petite I really am. I thought I was talking to trees rather than human beings. Oh, height!
I managed to get my CDs signed by all members from two bands. Also, I managed to hug all of them! Fabulous. It was such a lunatic night - too much epic stuff mixed in a big salad bowl. I suffered from indigestion.
I now have a more urgent urge to move to the UK. I also took my guitar out again and tune it for the very first time in 3 months.
I'd do anything to see them again. Oh, and not to mention moving to the UK.
P.S. I can't upload pics of TDCC performing because I messed up my other memory card. Bother!
