29 Apr: Doppelganger SWAPMEET Bazaar & Gig

FREE?! YES!
ONLY AT OUR MONTHLY MUSICIAN & VIDEO GAMER SWAP MEET :)

RM5 cover charge.
Free entry if you bring a minimum of 5 items to swap!
Cover charge funds will be donated to Rockin'4theEnvironment fundraiser for Sun Bears!!

Swap Meet Bazaar + Gig is now a main stay at DoPPel Kafe every last Saturday of the month. Bring anything music or video game related. Use this as a chance to promote your services too if you're a music studio - you could give away one free hour of your studio time perhaps? Or bands, you could also swap your time with organisers. Basically the idea is to build a strong and healthy swap meet community here, at the heart of music - DoPPel Kafe.

The whole idea is to exchange and share - have something or want something? We're sharing the idea of swapping it with someone who needs it.

All you'll need to do is to give a value to your item, check it in, get some Doppelganger dollars in return, then go shopping! We will have our own system of classification. In our world, EVERYTHING is 1 Doppelganger Dollar. Nice economy. So yes, bring one guitar, and it's worth 1Dop. Bring one CD, and it's worth 1Dop too.

Please make sure all items are in good working order, k. Think of others. It'd really suck if you were to swap a really cool CD for another that doesn't work or has scratches.

Here's a list of items we accept:

Services:

Music lessons
Recording studio time
Performances
Web design / PR / Writing / Composing

Other items:
CDs (music or game originals preferred)

Band Merchandise

Concert T-shirts

Amps
Drums
Instruments
Recording Gear
DJ Systems
Books
Memorabilia
Vinyls

Videos
Pro Audio, Stage & Lighting
Speakers
Strings
Cables
Audio & Video connectors
Music Gear Accessories
Promotional Products/Services
Magazines

Limited tables available for rent - only RM50 or 10% of your sales for the event.

Email us at openmickl [at] gmail if you want to perform or book a table.
Happy thinking of what to swap! We'll be seeing you then :)

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...
