GBOB - the results...

The third and final day of the GBOB Challenge World Final 2007 was a success from beginning to end with 15 bands from 15 countries playing for the first prize of $100,000 and a world tour. It was a tough task for the panel of judges - Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols); Nick Tesco (The Members/Leningrad Cowboys); Mark Keds (Senseless Things) and Chuck Sabo (Natalie Imbruglia, XTC etc)- to pick a winner from a fantastic array of talent.

In the end the first prize went to Boys In A Band (pictured) from the Faroe Islands. In second place were Jetstream from the USA with Moja from Japan in third place. The rest of the results were: 4th place: Atmasfera from Ukraine. 5th place: A Key Is A Key from Denmark. 6th place Cliff Clavin from Iceland. A big thanks goes out to all the bands who did so much to make the GBOB Challenge 2007 such a memorable event. Source: www.gbob.com

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...
