Stereophonics @ KL Live, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Stereophonics were in town on the 28th of April and boy was I excited. Again, it was a gig that was put together cause the welsh rockers were to play Singapore during the weekend and hell, why not get them to come here. Aside from the sporadic rumours that they were not showing up due to monetary issues, thank the lucky stars, the promoters came through.
I’ve watched them years ago back in 2001 or so, after they released Mr Writer. Visibly more mature in their looks, but Kelly Jones is still that same mumbling welshman that I watched years ago. I’m not the biggest fan of their latest album, but it is still growing on me.
The crowd was visibly lesser than Placebo who played there a month plus ago, but the crowd was older (surprisingly) and definitely bigger music lovers, instead of the newer generation of wannabes (yeah, I’m an elitist). AND, there was booze available.
Stereophonics rocked their way through a variety of songs from their many studio albums. Superman, Pick A Part That’s New, Mr Writer (my alltime fav song from Stereophonics), Maybe Tomorrow, a new track from their latest album, Innocent, Have A Nice Day, Traffic, Just Looking (my 2nd fav song from Stereophonics, at this point I was just hypnotised), Bartender and The Thief, Dakota (which got the crowd going loudest) and A Thousand Trees. I only listed out 13 songs that I really like and to be honest songs that I recognise easily without any effort. They played 24 songs in total 
Overall, the gig was awesome but I suppose I expected more engagement with the crowd from the band, but Kelly being Kelly, he mumbles with his welsh accent. Hang on, most welsh peeps do that all the time, and they’re not really mumbling as we have problems understanding them.
