Quiet Is The New Loud

We only hopped online the day after the tickets to Kings of Convenience were released for sale. Only Circle seats were left! WTF?! Since when do Singaporeans dig Kings of Convenience? No choice. Gotta take Circle 1 seats. Ack. Tonight, all 1600 seats at Esplanade Concert Hall were filled. Wow.

Their strumming aside, what's amazing about Eirik and Erlend is their uncanny ability to harmonize. Their voices ethereal and intense; their phrasing and tone totally identical. Erlend's humor was almost British! And he could really boogie!

I wiggled her toes in delight to see eight girls, at Erlend's invitation, break through the security line and ummm....waddled in a circle on stage during last song. And during the encore, Erlend strode down to the audience. Esplanade's security could only wring their hands in despair. *smirk* Photography wasn't encouraged at all. But towards the end of the show, flashes popped everywhere. Irate ushers couldn't even stop the merry clickers. *huzzah!!!*

At the end of the show, Erlend and Eirik rubbed it in by taking turns to pose on stage with the audience as backdrop, and used their digicam to snap shots of each other. *double smirk* The entire world was at the show.
