BIOGRAPHY

AN HONEST MISTAKE
With pure honesty and heartfelt emotions about life and relationships, An Honest Mistake was birthed. Apart from playing bass with Armyofthree, this is a place where he picks up his acoustic guitar and puts himself in the shoes of many to let his mind wander, wonder and explore the different facets of life. Started writing since 2 years ago has given him plenty of time to perfect his craft and finally allowing himself to break out into actually performing. Open up your minds and allow your dreams to be An Honest Mistake.

NANOKINECTICS
It all began when the 4 of them met together and dreaming about having a band. Alternative music is their genre. Mutual bonding is their essence in making music. DQ, (Lead guitar/ vocalist), Faizal (Guitar) Bortl(Bass) and Ash (drum). The name "Nanokinetics" lappear when DQ & Bort was chatting and the word 'nano" came out and decided to go with the name. Nano means the smallest and kinetics means action really give meaning to the band in pursuing their dreams in the music industry. they want to take one step at a time and thus, NANOKINETICS. Most of the songs composed by DQ. He started to write lyrics at the tender age of 13, Wan Dzikyarnain or better known as DQ then started taking up playing guitar,keyboard & bass. Born and raised in Kuching, Sarawak and now working in Kuala Lumpur. Also born in Sarawak is Ahmad Faizal or better known as Faisal was in a band during his student years in UPM. Faizal is a fan of a 90's popular band - Oasis,Butterfingers. This hardcore Liverpool fan spends most of his time playing his favourite guitar. Bass was not his first option. Used to play guitar on his alone time, Bort the bassist was born in Johor and now working in Kuala Lumpur.Born in 1982, other history from this guy is untraceable. The only girl in the band, Ash is a hardcore RHCP fan. Started taking up drumming in 2004. She mostly listens to classic rock and jazz. Most of her influence in music was from her father. To date, thier songs are " Tiba"," End of Time"," Me Without You", "Change", "World Destroyer" & " 4 days".

Doppelganger Indie Picks: Y2K (MALAYSIA) meets Superman is Dead (INDONESIA)

Here we go again with Doppelganger Indie Picks. Each time, we select one local and one foreign artiste to share with you. This edition, we are shaking with excitement as we reintroduce two punk acts, both of whom have been around for quite some time. Whilst our Balinese counterpart, Superman is Dead enjoys a fan base of over 5million on Facebook, the other closer to home (we're speaking of Ampang in Kuala Lumpur) has an insignificant amount of but in our opinion, have the promise of being a really really really (as my Italian friend Valentina says) a smashing big band! So the long and short is, the Malaysian band Y2K has been established since the early 2000s and is about to release it's second album. How many albums did Sex Pistols release? Perhaps this article (Sex Pistols' Steve Jones interview: 'We should do a covers album') could be an inspiration to them to reinvent, repackage and just bloody get their band out there more and more and more :P Can'
