THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH show

Yeah! Show yang boleh dikatakan successful for us. Walaupun kami sangat letih kerana terpaksa menunggu giliran yang 'tidak' seperti dijanjikan oleh pihak penganjur (janji pukul 5pm tapi kena main pukul 9pm akhirnya), but we still gave our best that night. Kepada sesiapa yang agak kechiwa yang lagu-lagu permintaan mereka tidak dimainkan, kami ingin menyusun sepuluh jari memohon kemaafan (dipetik dari kad raya yang biasanya berharga dalam lingkungan 30sen ke 1 ringgit) kerana drummer baru kami Che' Din masih baru bersama kami jadi tumpuan terpaksa diberikan lebih kepada beberapa lagu sahaja ketika sesi latihan. Kalau ada chance main lagi, kita akan main semua lagu permintaan supaya band lain tak sempat nak main...ehem!

Band-band yang turut serta pada hari tu, boleh dikatakan semuanye fast pace. Jadi DEP boleh dikatakan band yang paling mellow pada hari tu. Tapi tak kisah sebab intensity dalam lagu dan delivery yang penting. Crowd pun bagus sebab rilek-rilek aje...

Kepada John Hafiz, aku mintak maaf banyak-banyak sebab aku terlepas lagi nak tengok Onani untuk yang kesekian kali. Hari tu masa Konsekuensi punya preview pun aku missed. I know what I'm missing and I totally regret that. Kena bawak anak aku pegi makan. Sorry.

All in all, semuanya bagus cuma nanti harap pihak penganjur boleh organise the show as scheduled. Anyway, thanks for all your support(organisers, bands and gig-goers) and we appreciate your patience and cool attitude.

Last but not least, "Are you enjoy?" hehehe...

THIS USED TO BE OUR PLAYGROUND...

Anyone remember this place?

Tempat jatuh lagi dikenang, inikan pula tempat bermain(macam tak kena je bunyiknya...)

Yep. Sekitar tahun 1999 - 2001, Tojeng telah bersusah payah mengusahakan sebuah studio dengan name yang sama dengan band beliau - D.E.P Studio (ye, agak corny...)

Boleh dikatakan hampir semua band (tak kira yang underground atau rock kangkang) di Kuantan akan jam di sini. Tak kurang juga 'band-band' sekitar Bentong, Temerloh dan Kemaman yang juga akan datang jam disini jika mereka ke Kuantan selain untuk gig atau saja turun untuk shopping sikit-sikit.

Reputasi yang hebat tentang studio DEP bagaimanapun tidak dapat bertahan lama kerana saingan yang sengit dari studio-studio di Kuantan yang sudah established dan juga studio-studio baru yang menyediakan 'equipment' yang kalau tak sampai state of the art pun, masih baru dan berkilat membuatkan kompas para pemuzik akan lebih tertumpu ke studio-studio tersebut.

Kos penyelenggaraan yang tinggi lebih-lebih lagi untuk cymbals, hi-hat, bass skin dan snare skin untuk drum yang boleh dikatakan setiap bulan barai dikerjakan oleh pemuzik novice membuatkan Tojeng terpaksa menjual barangan studionya kepada seorang rakan yang bernama Pok Sang. Jadi Pok Sang pulak bertungkus lumus meng-upgrade-kan apa yang patut tapi tak lama lepas tu (mungkin sekitar 2003/2004) , studio ini telah bertukar milik dan tuan punya yang baru kalau tak silap bernama Zul. So Zul telah membuat beberapa perubahan seperti menukar nama studio kepada 'Blast Studio' dengan sentuhan spray paint yang kreatif. Tapi aku kurang pasti sama ade nama dan dekorasi ini telah berlaku semenjak diambil alih oleh Pok Sang atau Zul. Kepada siapa yang lebih mengetahui, sila bagi komen.

22 Mac 2008, Panther, Din dan aku jam kat situ... terimbau kenangan. Rasa macam baru semalam aku jam dengan the whole DEP (sila lihat gambar di sini). Those were the days la...
Tapi macam semua cerita yang best.. ianya akan berakhir dengan cara yang tak berapa best sangat... Sama macam studio DEP...

DEP the band? Tak tau lagi... Harap-harap... This One's Forever... (corny lagi...)

CO-OPERATION NOT COMPETITION

Who's good, who's better, who's best?
This attitude has been a mess
We're living on the same shelf
You're not more than yourself

Unity is the subject
But why do we go crack?
Divided into pieces
Falling like broken glasses

CO-OPERATION, it's NOT COMPETITION...

Unity is the subject
But why do we go crack?
Divided into pieces
Falling like broken glasses

Understand this situation
Once is suffice to mention
Believe in this co-operation
Leave this fucking competition!

CO-OPERATION, it's NOT COMPETITION...

SWEET LULLABY

Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
There's more to come, to come this way
Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
Think about tomorrow, forget about yesterday

Yesterday...

You don't have to cry, it isn't necessary
Forget about your past, think about your future glory
But take up something for you to spare
Something for you to share

Yes, you may...

I heard you laughing
And still wondering
Then I heard you talking
About yesterday

Yesterday...

Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
There's more to come, to come this way
Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
Think about tomorrow, forget about yesterday

Yesterday...

I heard you crying
And still wondering
Then I heard you talking
About yesterday

Yesterday...

THIS ONE'S FOREVER

I've been waiting for this moment to tell you
That things are not the same as before
Certain changes happened to what we loved
And the things that we loved are not easy to score

We both feel so sad when everything turns bad
And you really gonna feel like crying
But you better remember that I'm still here
And when we're all together we can feel like flying

THIS ONE'S FOREVER...

They said there's a hope for you
One for me and some for everybody
But what difference does it make
When this hope got no possibility?
So who's to blame, now things have gone insane
And we only have to watch them going
So it's better to make our move together
If you really want this right to last forever

THIS ONE'S FOREVER...

They've taken everything, including our mind
And they think that's fine...

I've been waiting for this moment to tell you
That things are not the same as before
Certain changes happened to what we loved
And the things that we loved are not easy to score

We both feel so sad when everything turns bad
And you really gonna feel like crying
But you better remember that I'm still here
And when we're all together we can feel like flying

THIS ONE'S FOREVER...

As of now, looks like we are definitely going to perform with Tojeng, Panther, me and… ok we won’t be having Asma with us since he got some other important stuffs to attend to. But fret no more, we have a replacement that I have good feelings that he'll be a permanent member of DEP real soon. I’ll introduce him to you guys during the show. See ya!
And please bring extra cash and support us by buying "This One's Forever". Thanks.

THIS ONE'S FOREVER, the album

Hello good people! After much headache, heartache and pocket-ache (is there such word?) , we finally managed to re-release the old DEP’s materials, with much better sounding and most important, in a CD format which I hope, could be a better keep for the listeners.
It’s a well known fact that the previously released materials of DEP were in cassette so the life span of them are mostly not more than 2 years. And it has been like how long? Since the last release (Dullaby) ? Hmmm… yep, it was released in 1999 so do the math yourself.
Considering this situation and some other queries from the people who had known DEP, about whether we still have the releases and stuff, we decided that it’s best that we re-release these materials as something that could mean anything to anyone. It can be a treasure, crap or whatever. You decide!
More about the release, contains 12 songs, however, 1 song was previously unreleased. This is the song which Panther played wrong accidentally, and had bloomed the idea of writing “This One’s Forever”(the song).
It’ll be sold for 12 bucks a piece. For independent distributors who are interested, please email us at dullentertainmentprogramme@gmail.com
Thanks.
