It's a Saturday afternoon (15 Apr) when Jerome, Saerze, Jasemaine Gan, Nikki & Jaz rock up to the corner house at Seputeh. We met earlier at Restoran Berjaya (Bangsar - best nasi padang!!!) to chat about what we were to share with the kids. Home of Peace is a home which cares for 12 orphan girls. And this is the home for which the two Intl Womens Day gigs at Bodega and NBT raised monies - on the shopping list were a RM230 classical guitar, some simple percussions, a tambourine, pitch pipe, guitar stand, chord books and song books - and so we spent about RM365 this first visit. There's about RM70 left in the kitty for our next visit. So we figured a visit to jam with Justine Morais (head of de house) and her galz every month with a different group of singer songwriters - doesn't sound so bad eh. Dont' let your talents be wasted wonton. Teach a chords of two to these girls. Anyways, plan is, we try do this the first or second saturday of the month. Anyone keen, pls contact us via email: jasminelow@gmail.com or jeromekugan@gmail.com ::::: Home of Peace is looking to raise another RM100,000 to help move to their new premises. Happy donors welcome. Pls let us know and we'll pass de message on. Keep smilin...
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...
