OK. This video is dedicated to our friends who have been so supportive for my home made Voodoo Mix of No Doubt’s “Hella Good” and eager to watch what it is like with drums and guitars. To set the expectation right, this recording is our band’s first session playing this cover song (and very rarely we do so as we prefer to play our original songs). If it was that good, I would be making a living at the club “Insomnia” instead of being a 9-to-5 arguable one of the fastest value-adding electronic postmen of the world.
We didn’t get a decent studio room this time so pardon the sound quality. I did the best I can from the sound engineering point of view. Hardly could I hear what I played or sang that day.
On a more positive note, Wieke did merge the essence of the “Hella Good” drum beats with that famous One Republic track and implemented into our original song “Kids From The Park”. It was pretty funky. Hope to share with y’all some time in the future.
PS: A big thanks to Selrol who took our video.

Enjoyed the video!
I love it when you put snippets of information – very entertaining!
Looking forward to more!
G – You do?! Kind of a surprise. You are the only one who gives positive comment so far – online and offline.
Thanks!
haha a bit slower than the original tempo eh? =P
Sylv – Yes, I realize that too. Ha ha ha. First time jamming this song as a band. Not an easy feat simply because we don’t do cover songs. Looking back, we should have torn the song apart, change the tempo completely as well as delivery. And change the melody of the song too to make it our own … ha ha ha. Gwen won’t be too happy about it I bet.
haha! you could have made it into a ballad or something! the guitar part will be.. hmm how u call it.. very dramatic? like u know this guitar piece romance d’amour.. a melody with an accompaniment.. aiyah what i’m saying.. anyway yah.. it’s been a long time since i jammed with friends. i do singing in choir more often. lolz.
Sylv – Thanks for your thought. Making it into a ballad is a great idea. Probably mix it with their hit single “Don’t Speak”.
Eh … I wish I have your talent to sing in a choir. I often associate choir performance as voices of the angels.
singing in a choir and singing in a band is different lah! i still dunno which one i prefer though. hehe.
Sylv – Don’t have to choose. Do them both 🙂
