The drummers of both Ebola (Pongpan Peonimit, left) and Silly Fools (Tortrakul Baingern) each performed solos.

Though not the battle of the bands as fans had been led to believe, Silly Fools and Ebola still rock the crowds in a double-bill show at Hua Mark

Last Saturday's "One-Way" concert didn't see rock titans Silly Fools and Ebola go head to head in a musical duel as fans had been led to believe, although they did jam briefly during their separate shows.

That didn't bother the more than 1,000 rock disciples who turned out to Hua Mark Indoor Stadium though, they screamed, moshed and danced throughout the show.

Ebola opened the concert, lighting up the stage with firebombs and roaring into "Sang Sawang" and "Withee Thang" off their latest album "Way" before taking fans back to the old days with "Khem Thit" and "Karn Jaak La".

Fans, most dressed in black, sang along to "Klub Soo Jud Rerm Ton" and "Sing Thi Chan Pen" and jumped up and down to "Sak Wan", which wrapped with a electrifying solo from Silly Fools' guitarist, and "Get Out".

Audience response

Silly Fools chose a Matrix-like backdrop for their set, which opened with "Satree Mai Lek Nueng" and "Rao Pen Khon Lueak Ang" from "The One", their first album with new singer Benjamin Tuffnell, and more firebombs. The audience was quiet at first but started jumping around to "Nueay Laew" and "Stay Away".

Although the rock quartet had problems getting the audience going with their newer songs, the audience responded well to older hits like "Nam Lai", "Ji Ja" and "Wad Jai".

The drummers of both rock bands each performed solos, then handed over to Silly Fools' original drummer and Ebola's singer who jammed on "Mual Moo Pluk Jai".

Silly Fools closed out the concert with highly charged performances of "Ngo" and a reprise of "Rao Pen Khon Luek Ang".
