CHRIS CARRABBA’S
SOLO SHOW AMAZED KL CROWD By: Malik Ridhwan
Promises were made, and it has been fulfilled when indie-rock band, Dashboard Confessional finally made it to Malaysia for a very special solo acoustic showcase after the unfortunate cancellation of their gig at the previous Rockaway Festival in August, last
year. KL Live Center, Jalan Sultan Ismail was flooded with over 2000 fans at the Dashboard Confessional Solo Acoustic Show last month. Local young singer, Awi Rafael opened the stage with his popular songs such as Pulanglah and Aku Bukan Bintang. As soon as the lights darkened the stage after Awi’s show, the crowd went wild until the lead vocalist and guitarist of Dashboard Confessional, Christopher Ender Carrabba, or better known as Chris Carrabba emerges. Opening the stage with The Good Fight and This Better Pill from his second solo album, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, the 36 year old from Connecticut, United States, received thunderous applause from local fans, especially among the females.
Dashboard
Confessional is, on a normal day, a four-piece indie rock band comprising Chris, John Lefler, Mike Marsh and Scott Schoenbeckwith an acoustic twist that delivers fantastically energetic live shows. However, in 2011, front man Chris Carrabba embarked on a solo mission and brought fans a collection of acoustic versions of their songs, in various intimate gigs in venues across America and around the world. This special acoustic show has received rave reviews from the media and fans alike. The Boston Phoenix claimed, “If you think Dashboard Confessional is as emo as it gets, wait until you catch Chris Carrabba’s solo acoustic. Alt rock’s resident king of emotion takes heart-on-your sleeve sentiment to a whole new level, but we mean that in a good way.”
