Parkway Drive = CHAOTIC!

For those who missed Parkway Drive, you sure missed a hell of a chaotic and intense show! (me included unfortunately...)



With the MCPA hall packed, this show was a sure success. Parkway Drive performed extremely well, rocking the crowd, encouraging hardcore moshing. If you are a metal head, this is an epic example of a metal gig!





Well, the only downside of the concert is the venue. It was very hot and stuffy inside, though i don't think THAT stopped the Parway Drive fans from having a good time. There were some technical difficulties, which was the only bummer of the gig!




Anyway, enough of the long stories, I'll cut to the chase. Here are the pictures:







As you can see, Parway Drive = CHAOTIC! is the perfect equation to define this band. If you would like to listen to the band, you can click here.





POLARYDE RECOMMENDS!: Carrion

Blink 182 Comeback

Did the title catch your attention?? And it's damn true!



It seems that Mark, Travis and Tom (the members of the band) have forgotten all their past misunderstandings and have decided to play music together again.




They made the announcement at the Grammy's just before announcing the "Best Rock Album" winner.

Rihanna Concert To Be Postphoned!

Rihanna fans! Sorry to say that Pineapple Concerts has announced that the Rihanna concert, which was supposed to be this month, will be postphoned.



The new date is yet to be confirmed but Pineapple Concerts has said that they'll announce the new date in two weeks time. So, no need to sell your tickets if you've already bought them. And i'm sure they'll refund IF Rihanna wont be coming down to KL. (touchwood, for her fan's sake)




Guess what's the reason for this postphone-ment?? Apparently, she was beat up by her lover, Chris Brown (i always knew smth was wrong with him! haha). She suffered two huge contusions on both sides of her forehead, a split lip, bite marks on her arms and fingers, and a bloody nose (ganas sial this Chris B!).



Anyway, you can read more here.
