The Whitest Boy Alive had their show in Jakarta on the 29th of Nov, and what a show it was! Erlend Øye is fantastic! He really got the crowd cheering and moving, and generally grooving along to his awesome tunes. The Whitest Boy Alive sounds so very good live, they played some of the songs exactly as you'd hear it on the record, and some they added stuff to. God I forgot which song, but they played one with a reggae feel to it, still electronic-y though, dunno if you can imagine how that sounds. But it was fantastic!

And you know what, the one time I don't stand right in front of the stage, the act jumps down! Damn! Erlend Øye was jumping around in the crowd, and getting everyone to dance! HE WAS IN THE CROWD! Eeee! Actually.. He was in the crowd a lot. He went and saw Goodnight Electric, Santa Monica and Efek Rumah Kaca. Basically, he saw all of the opening acts.

Seriously, they were awesome, and they really worked the crowd. I mean, Indonesians can be pretty "cool" as in.. They'd sing along and not move, or they nod their heads along to the music, but most people danced at the Whitest Boy Alive's show. It was so cool! The dude on the keyboard actually climbed on top of his keyboard and danced for a while. Erlend Øye did these really cute dorky moves that I don't think many people can pull off. Hahaha!

I LOVE European bands. They're just so awesome! I can't wait for the next bands to come along. (Fingers crossed D'Sound will come again Hiihihihiihih!)
