KYOTO PROTOCOL
OPEN MIC USUAL SUSPECTS


A band of four horsemen who hail from different areas in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All children of the 1980's, living life experiencing different walks of music. After numerous changes in members and band names, they now go by the name of CYNOSURE. The band consists of: Falique on vocals and guitars, Douglas on drums and second vocals, Jo on 2nd guitars, and Dwan on bass. Their music samples different genres from funk to hardrock to more vocal oriented pieces... However, they can be more precisely categorized as a Modern / Alternative / Hardrock outfit. Check 'em out on http://www.myspace.com/cynosure


IZZY MOHAMED started singing in a band called Cultural Cocktails in 2001. The band didn't last that long. In 2003 she was asked by a friend to join their band to play bass. "Didn't really know how to play back then, but I learned," she says. The band was called Escaping Monday. She adds, "We didn't last too cause half went overseas. Not too long after the band split, I was asked to join another band called Ziel to play bass.. and at the same time I worked on my own songs as well.. 2004 was a busy year for me cause that's when I decided to venture in the solo singer-songwriters world as well as play in a rock band!.. that was nerve wrecking Pete! From then onwards, I guess I was lucky to be accepted.. =) and here I am now..."

Songs in her EP:
1. Closed Door
2. Home
3. Sleep
4. Pelangi


KYOTO PROTOCOL much said about them...http://www.myspace.com/kpband


"Coming in second was crowd favourite Kyoto Protocol, which got the crowd on their toes singing along and screaming the band's name...""-Christina Low, The Star Metro

"Kyoto Protocol is weird ... In a nice way .. It's like an experimental Queens of the Stone Age ... Yeah ... I dunno how to explain it" -PostAGig(KL), PostAGig(KL)

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...
