Hi there! This August, Wayang Kata returns. Though it won't be your regular hosts - Jerome (as he's busy with work, methinks) nor myself (as I'll be escorting 7 gamers for the grand finals of ESWC in San Jose, USA!), do come support British Council and listen to some of the best vocalists in town - Mia Palencia and Reza Salleh. I've not heard Najwa myself but hear the sounds from that singer songwriter is stunning too! So here goes this promo for Wayang Kata, peeps! Cheers and happy Merdeka! Spoken Word with Kim Trusty This August we bring back Wayang Kata with a twist! We're joining forces with Moonshine, Klang Valley's very own homemade music show organised by singer-songwriter Reza Salleh.

And it's that time again. Keep on feelig the gig fever. This month, we bring you two of the largest names in the Klang Valley indie scene - Azmyl Yunor & Rendra Zawawi!!! Azmyl is one third of the Troubadours and has recently completed the annual KL Sing Song singer songwriter showcase at KLPac. Personally, I just love 'Makan Gaji' and if you haven't heard him, you haven't heard the Malaysian voice ;P... Fresh back from the UK, Rendra stumbled upon our gig following Fete de la Musique this year. Thanks to Rashdan, Rendra played at 2 gigs ago at Marketplace. We're pleased to invite him here once again!
