• 2012 is Record Store Day's fifth year, and somewhere in Kuala Lumpur, a little music blog decided hey, why not do something of our own over at this side of the country, bring together music fans, artistes and the like for a little bit of good ol' fashioned music gig? We have gathered some of the few artistes in Malaysia, who have recently released an album last year, and those who will be releasing albums within the year. Catch them perform your beloved tracks from them live, and also get a sneak on what to expect in the near future. Besides that, you can also purchase your favourite bands' CDs at a DISCOUNTED PRICE during the gig. So, mark your calendars: DATE: April 21, 2012 (Saturday) TIME: 2PM onwards VENUE: Doppel Kafe, Central Market, KL ENTRY FEE: RM15 14 local acts for just the price of RM15.
