NEW VENUE AND DATE.

The new date for the Citarasa Malaysia Show has been changed to the

8th and 10th of June.

The new location is at

Titiwangsa, by the lake, infront of the giant, white ferris wheel.

It's situated behind Istana Budaya.

You cannot miss the giant, white ferris wheel.

It's not that big but it's big enough to see from afar.

Sorry if my map is real spaz. I tried but I'm not very good at it. Just watch out for the landmarks and you'd get there for sure. They'll be parking spaces right infront of the area.

Just follow the pink arrows and the whole road is a one way only, so you can cut into the first turning on your left.

Any questions, just ask ok? See you guys there!

CODA @ Studio 21:05

Here's my first photo montage video--ever! Starting to really love editing videos.
Though this video is only 49secs long but it took me 1.5days to get it all into one piece! 'Cause the photo editing was pretty time consuming and I had to arrange picture by picture.
But I hope you guys will appreciate it :D
(put alot of hardwork you know.)

Do comment this video on YouTube if you wish. Thanks!

Akir, Mie, Jashir and Ijam were at Studio 21:05 with JD (Pop Shuvit) last night. Unfortunately, Nasser couldn't make it.

JD recorded the drum and bass tracks last night and CODA will be rescheduled to finish the rest of the song.

**CHANGE OF VENUE AND DATE**

The show on the 9th and 10th of June WILL BE CHANGED to another venue and date!!!
I will update the details all by tonight.
Sorry for all the inconvenience caused!

-----

I will be at the event taking photos as usual.
If any of you happen to be there, and happen to spot me (which you will cause I'd be wearing my CODA T-Shirt. Don't worry I'll post a big, nice picture of me when the event is near)

...Don't be shy to come and talk to me or anything.
I'd be even happier if the fans/friends of CODA would want their picture taken and I'll be putting them either into the blog or a photo montage in YouTube.

And don't worry if your picture turns out bad 'cause I'll let you see it and take as many shots as you want until you are happy with the shot that you like, ok?

:) okay then folks.
I gotta buzz. Will update the blog by tonight.
Thanks.

Of Malacca, T-Shirts and Recordings

Hello once again.
How are you guys? I'm doing all right thanks. Though I constantly rant about how hot the weather is these days :'(

First of all,
I'm sorry 'cause I haven't got time to draw the map to the venue of CODA's performance this coming 9th and 10th of June but I'll try to make it asap all right? I've already asked Nasser to get more info about the where abouts of the whole thing.

-----

I would like to ask you guys a question :
Are any of you interested in owning a CODA T-Shirt?
During the BlastOff 3 Finals, CODA was actually wondering whether would their fans would like to own a CODA T-Shirt but due to a limited time to spread the news, we decided to print t-shirts for our own circle of friends only. I was just wondering if there are fans who are still interested to get one.

Just running a small survey.
If there is a reasonable number of people still want the t-shirts, we might reprint a new batch! Do send me a comment here, or through CODA's MySpace, all right? Thanks.

**Will confirm with you guys again with details of the t-shirt; price/where to collect them/size etc.**

-----

Later in the evening,
Mie will be recording his vocals for "Farewell" so, you could say that the song is almost done.
Unfortunately I cannot be there today to record the whole thing but don't be upset... cause I have more pictures from Malacca!

Oh yeah,
About the videos from Malacca,
alot of you guys have been msging me on YouTube, this blog and Myspace asking,
"WHERE'S THE REST OF THE PERFORMANCE? I WANNA SEE THE WHOLE THING!"

Ok ok. I have an explanation.
A good one, I promise!
When we were in Malacca, I used Nas' digi cam to record 90% of the performance but when the file transfers to my laptop, I can seem to open it! And the only way is to install QuickTime but I don't want to because it will clash with my other stuff and will change the format of my vids and songs.

So, if there's anyone out there,
who knows a way to convert MOV files into MPEG or AVI, pleaaaseee do sent me a comment here or through myspace all right?

Really sorry for the major delay.

MALACCA TIME!!!

1st Day : The Journey

On the way to Malacca. You can see a glimpse of me in the side mirror! Haha, sneek peek of the blog moderator. The journey to Malacca took the entire day because we left KL rather late in the evening and when we reached Malacca, we had to find the hotel by the beach situated in Pantai Puteri, if I'm not mistaken.

Malacca, herrrreee comes Coda! Here's CODA's pad for the 2 days that we've been there. This is just the living hall though :

The first night was spent by having a seafood dinner. Mie insisted that it is must have some 'ikan bakar' and without thinking we just went for it because everyone was pretty much starving at the moment. The service was really slow and the guy who was serving us had some serious attitude problem, that didn't stop them from taking loads of pictures. There's more but I'm going to post the best ones here :

Nas, Ijam and Mie had an early night's rest while the rest of us, Akir, Jashir, Pat (a friend of ours) and myself decided to hang around, talked all night about planning a scheme to scare the guys who were already sleeping, put Colgate in their faces and make ghostly sounds to wake them up but we dozed off half way while chit-chatting but we woke up again around 3am to watch Sixth Sense which was on TV *lol*

2nd day : The Soundcheck & Performance.

The guys were transported to the venue by a van provided by the event management noon time for their soundcheck. The guys were making fun of their performance passes as it had "ARTIS" written on it, lol. Even I had a pass which says "TEKNIKAL" as in, the technical team, I guess. I wish I had the "MEDIA" pass instead :-P I'm so greedy. But it was very exciting and I was pretty anxious for the band, seeing that this is their first real show, besides playing for Pandan Music Festival which was more like a gig.

Waiting in the lobby for the van to arrive for the souncheck @ 12pm and the show @ 5pm. Briefing from the guy who manages all the bands for the day :

5pm : Before the show.That was pretty much it. After the show, we went back to the hotel to get some rest before heading home to KL at night. Picture Of The Day :

You are cordially invited to...

CODA will be having a show in KL!!
and everyone's invited!
Bring your friends, family.. auntyunclesboyfriendgirlfriend -- whoever you want!

There is no admission fee to this event. It's completely FREE.

The event falls on a Saturday and Sunday. So, make sure you guys drop by!
The details of the event are listed on the right hand column of this blog, under the "Upcoming Shows/Events" column.

I can't really remember the directions there but if you know where ZOUK KL is, then it'll be easier for you to find the venue because it is situated right next to it.

But for those who aren't sure, I will be posting the map soon.
I roughly know the way but I don't want to be mistaken.

Come back in a couple of days for the map, all right?
THANKS.

Hope to see you guys there ;)

Update : Recording of "Farewell"

What's up Codaholics?!

AthenaCODA here! Before I begin, just wanna say that I'm really happy that news have spread about Coda's blog and I just wanna say that I really appreciate those who took the time to drop by to write in your comments and thoughts. It's good to know how supportive the fans are. So, once again, many thanks!

**If you have any suggestions about the blog or questions that you want to ask from the members of CODA or myself, don't be shy! Feel free to ask anything ok?

GOOD NEWS!
The recording of "Farewell" is 80% done.
So, hold on to your horses!
It will be aired on the radio soon. Just be a little more patient with the guys all right?
You've already waited 3 months since you first heard it on Blast Off! 3, I'm sure you guys can wait a little more right? ;)

-----

CODA is also working on recording of their Malay single, "Bila Matamu Tersenyum".
I'm sure you guys have heard bits of it from the videos on YouTube, if you haven't, go check it out!
(video list situated at the right column of the blog)
The single will be produced by JD by Pop Shuvit's guitarist in Pop Shuvit's very own recording studio, 21:05, situated in Taman Tun around the end of this month (May).

Eventhough the guys from CODA are currently busy with their recording of "Farewell" and "Bila Matamu Tersenyum", they are also currently trying to find a new material for their new songs.
But it might take awhile for the newer songs to be done because some of the members are pretty busy with their hectic schedules, work and project datelines.

Currently, CODA has 4-5 songs under process.

Melaka Music Festival.

I shall inform you here as soon as the video has been uploaded.

CODA wants to know how the fans are doing too :)

What's new with CODA, you ask?
Well, as for now, the guys are in the midst of their recording of their English single, "Farewell" (the one from the Blast Off 3 Finals).
The recording process is going on smoothly and as soon as it's done, the single will be sent to Hitz.Fm to be aired.
Do watch out for it!
