Doppelganger & Troubadours @ La Bodega KL

Jasmine Low, co-organiser of Valhalla open mic nights (2002-2004), has teamed up with Troubadours’ organisers Azmyl Yunor, Tan Sei Hon and Jerome Kugan to hold two different fortnightly Sunday performance nights at the upstairs room of La Bodega’s KL outlet on Tengkat Tong Shin in Bukit Bintang.

While Troubadours will continue to focus on singer songwriters performing mostly instrospective original material, the new night Doppelganger will act as a showcase for a more eclectic range of performers, including cabaret acts, poets, dancers, performance artists and other uncategorisable emerging talents looking for an outlet.

To celebrate this new partnership, a special kick-off Doppelganger/Troubadours event will be held on June 5, 7pm onwards. Confirmed to appear at this event are talented singer songwriters Leow Mei Chern and Reza Salehudin, SaerZe and Prozac Nation.

Following that, Doppelganger and Troubadours will be held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.

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?
