Life purpose

If thought is not linked to purpose, there is no accomplishment.

Indie Scene Cafe is now CLOSED.
Thank you for supporting the cafe. We'll miss you all!
The camaderie from Security Guards to Jewellery Shop Attendants, Singing Waiters to the L'Opera Restaurant Maitre 'D called COWBOY, the singer songwriter who stumbled upon us on our first nite (Welcome to KL, Richie!). It was purely the vibe of the Indie Scene Cafe which we'll all miss most. Joe Kidd, can't wait to check out your store! ;)

So that's how I'll start my new year. In fact, a couple of hundred of us started off our new year on the second floor of Piccolo Galleria, pearched above the sea of revellers - most of whom were hanging around bukit bintang to 'lepak' and 'feel' the vibrations.

The indieGO gig started off later than expected - after most of us got fed by the lovely people at L'Opera with some yummo pasta. The bands then trudged upstairs and got ready to gig. Wow! Thanks Mr. Azmyl for popping by! Dunno how you got back to Selangor Assembly Hall dat night! Anyways, giggin giggin giggin and voila! it was already nearing midnight. FREDA, JAZ and the SEXY DIVAs pranced around the hall and did their numbers. Why do people call them the paper doll shows? Is it cos Divas used to mime? Not these ones, bro! FREDA looked damn hot! We'll post the pictures up soon ya.

Oh, a holler out to our prize sponsors too! Thanks to Best Venue Sdn Bhd - the organisers of the Malaysian International Aerospace Expo 2007 (www.mia2007.com) and Blush Lingerie for their generous gifts!

And then 2007 swept us away for a moment and DJ Fresh and B'side took us on the ride. Screech to a stop! Two more acts were not yet featured.... what to do, what to do. freeze. the two acts went on during a pregnant pause. but the DJs took us away again soon after. You should have seen Markisa in full swing! I didn't actually see Peter dancing but it turned out to be a successful nite albeit the lack of heads. Happy 2007 peeps! The Doppelganger team will be taking a short break - we've been go-go! The Jan 7th gig has been postponed to a later date, at a different venue. Indie Scene Cafe is now closed. Death is good. Non-activity lets the brain lull. I need that a bit... ciao til later.

  1. The New Year Party was a blast!. Eventho we had to sit outside & play our guitars to get people to come to our party, it was about being together and that made it great. It started out badly but hey...everyone was there to party. I even overheard an auntie saying "I thought this was a countdown party". Great job guys!.

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...
