The first music event by the Heineken GreenSpace website was so overcrowded by its online members, celebrities and media that it took drastic measures to limit some of them.
Celebrities squeezing into the seventh floor of Zen included Danai Jira, Ratchawin Wongwiriya, Wongsathorn Khwantham and Pimpaka Siengsomboon with Heineken marketing manager Nipol Swadipongpan, as well as Nualpan Osathanon, VJ Pitta, Kalorine Supalak Neemayothin, Yapapak Wacharapai, Sarocha Walitphan and Janesuda Panto. The concert party, based on the "Six Degrees of Separation" theory, consisted of six Thai and foreign bands jamming to each other's songs. It kicked off with Thailand's Slot Machine and Aluminum Babe from New York, followed by Apartment Khunpa and Osaka Monurail from Japan, and closed with Moderndog and Some Velvet Morning from England. As a surprise, music director and musician Montonn "Jay" Jira strapped on a guitar and jammed with the British rock band.
