We're starting to like this song very much! Performed by One Buck Short and written by Audi Mok, this is the 1Malaysia song that's been aired on TV. Earlier this year, our team had the privilege of assisting backstage on a cool event launching PM's Government Transformation Project. Must say, it's one of the best songs so far. Here, this edition is performed by Reshmonu, Suki, Nikki and Faisal Tahir. Check it out:

Hi guys! Just to fill in the spot while we await the next gig (geez I miss giggin' y'olls!), here is a link to a website which I found really helpful to not just myself, but to my singer songwriter/band friends. If you are a D.I.Y. musician, you'll find it extremely helpful. A lot of times, we find ourselves learning from the net, our friends and fellow peers. D . I . Y . the way to go.

Firstly, thank you VOIZE and Siva Zaphod Chandran for coming up with the Voize Independent Music Award and for honouring Doppelganger founder Jasmine Low as a Hall of Fame Inductee. It's an honour. This is for all of YOU. Curtsies... Jerome Kugan on the phone with bear on head and then it's Jaz Hello! That's Junk's new Ed, Sarah Chan :) Junk got inducted into the Hall of Fame too! Doppelganger's Jasmine Low and Nikki Yeo, pictured here with interns Keith Chan and Melisa Suciati (2007) As I write this note, the prompt below the text box asks me "Feeling bold"? and ironically, that's how we got into organising open mics in the first place. A bold move to start up an open mic night with only a couple of acts including Gman, a guy from Johor who was able to play a 12-string guitar, Jaz herself singing (badly) while plucking the bass and Beryl singing Fly Me to the Moon! Then, we were called Valhalla Open Mic and we held our gigs every Thursday relentles...

Hi hi folks! How are we feeling this 9th day of January in 2010? Click to view photo gallery on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=180960&id=651834202&l=e617fc3df0 Today, we've just completed a special event titled the Music Charity Friends - MAS Touchdown @ Skypark Terminal SAAS Airport where 10% of sales of items (some offer 100% of proceeds) would go towards benefiting the Food Bank for the Poor, Women's AID Organisation and Bandar Harapan Organic Farm. It was real nice to see CEO/MD of Malaysia Airlines Tengku Dato' Azmil as well as Skypark Terminal SAAS Airport Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Jana drop by the stalls and watch the bands perform. All of Pesawat band members autographed this model airplane and put it up for auction! Did YOU make a bid? How did this all begin? Well, let's say it was just an idea when Jasmine Low, Founder of Doppelganger Open Mic and MD of Go International Group visited Sydney, Australia in March 2009. As a student, sh...
