Organiser: Doppelganger Open Mic - a community project by Go International Group Sdn Bhd.

As we step into September, we step ahead with the 'best' news of all this year! Malaysia Airlines has confirmed its sponsorship and as a result, Independent Youth Festival 2009 will be propelling Malaysia's independent band One Buck Short and singer songwriters Liyana Fizi, Reza Salleh and Rashdan Harith to Sydney for Malaysia Fest and another private gig to promote Malaysia's independent music scene.

This is indeed exciting for Doppelganger KL open mic as it will mark it's first foray to a town where Founder, Jasmine Low spent her formative 20s. This is also great news for Independent Youth Festival as it also marks the second cross country effort in bringing Malaysians overseas. The festival brought 6x Malaysian video gamers to San Jose Silicon Valley USA last year; and will bring another 6x youth (video gamers & blogger) to Sweden for DreamHack - the largest digital festival in the world!

What is Malaysia Fest? M-Fest as it's affectionately known--is the biggest Malaysian cultural event in Australia. It is held annually in Tumbalong Park, Sydney in conjunction with the Merdeka celebrations. This year, it will be celebrating Hari Raya as the date of the event falls a week after Raya. With numerous colourful cultural performances, exhibitions and food stalls serving genuine Malaysian cuisine along the day, M-Fest aims to showcase Malaysian cultures & traditions to all Sydney-siders and tourists.

M-Fest is fully organised by the members of these Malaysian student organisations:

- Malaysian Students Organisation of UNSW (MSO)
- Sydney University Association of Malaysian Students (SUAMS)
- Malaysian Students Association of UTS (MASA)
- Macquarie University Malaysian Students Association (MSA)
- Sydney Malay Students Association (PPMS)
- Petronas Sydney Club (SYPEC)
- Malaysia Hall Residents Club (MHRC)

What's important is that our commitment to the scene, to the artistes. Doppelganger Open Mic, Indie Youth Fest and Go International Group are proud to be a part of this event. For more information on the gig, email us at openmickl@gmail.com.

Be there!

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...
