RICE ABOVE #01
You Can’t Keep A Good Scene Down!

This is the first of a series of Tuesday gigs happening at Cloth & Clef. An attempt at breaking that “weekend-only” curse which had been a bane of the DIY scene since forever! More shows happening every Tuesday from now on. Do come and kick that ghost of crap jobs and sadistic bosses following you home!

TUESDAY, 9th of February 2010
Show starts at 8.30PM
Entrance is RM10
CLOTH & CLEF, Changkat Bukit Bintang (map HERE)

bands:

DUNG (aka Carburetor Dung)
- an ancient specimen of Malaysian punk rawk still surviving from early 90s; this is basically because they are too lazy to move on to “better and bigger” things. DUNG have gone through a lot of different phases since then; from melodic, singalong street-punk popular with toddlers to mellow, cringe-worthy acoustic moments with loud, blaring hardcore-punk of their own interpretation in-between.

PUSHER
- a lively crew of late 20s playing a mix of The Clash’s anthemic firebrand punk rock and the more modern ghetto-blasting influences from the 90s Gilman St. Scene with a bit of reggae and hard-blues stabbed hard somewhere in their guts. Recently released their much-awaited debut album entitled “Our Beloved City of the Dead”; a tribute to this metropolis of ours, especially its zombiefied useless inhabitants.

THE GARRISON
- a relatively new addition to the stubborn local DIY punk rock scene but one of the most promising. THE GARRISON is a collision of raw classic punk rock sound of the late ‘70s, spiced up with hard, dirty skanking reggae. A full-length album is in the works but a taster is available in the recently released CD-R EP called Flooding Blood.

SWAMPY ZOMBIE FEVER
- freshly-baked mysterious disease by hyperactive youngster Aiman, who is DUM DUM TAK’s drummer and the mainman for FRU & CIVIL DISORDER. This band is so new we don’t even know how it sounds like. But knowing Aiman, we know it’s gonna be rockin’

Note; DUNG may play two sets, an acoustic and then electric one, that is if their bones and joints would not seize up.

LABOUR OF HATE:

UGLY, UGLY, UGLY (a Shitworkers song resurrected):

GIBRAN SONG (old Dung song, never recorded):

Dung playing another all acoustic set! The last time we played this way; Joe & Tom were on acoustic guitars, with Fendi on electric bass and Bullet on minimal drums (just the kick, snare and a cymbal).

It’s also the band’s first show for the new year! So come and join in the fun. We are scheduled to play between 9 to 10 PM. The Ricecooker Shop will have a stall open at 5.30PM.

Sistem dua parti atau dua ratus buah parti ini tidak memiliki apa-apa makna yang hakiki jika kita masih lagi dalam sistem ekonomi yang berimankan keuntungan maksima. Apa yang wajib kita sokong bukan mereka yang berijazah, berdatuk, bertun atau berserban – ini tidak penting. Yang penting ialah mereka yang bangun berjuang untuk melahirkan satu sistem ekonomi yang berimankan kebajikan untuk manusia.

DARI JELEBU
Hishamuddin Rais

Pada tahun 2009 ini wacana politik dalam negara kita cuba menyebarkan berita tentang kemungkinan terwujudnya sistem dua parti – Barisan Nasional dan Pakatan Rakyat. Malah huh hah huh hah tentang sistem dua parti ini telah tersebar lama. Ada yang menyeringai gembira seperti di malam pertama bedua-duaan di bilik bersama kekasih bila mendengar kemungkinan ini.

Sistem dua parti ini adalah satu penipuan. Satu illusi yang dirancang oleh kaum pemodal. Satu pemesongan projek demokrasi yang amat terancang untuk mengkaburi mata orang ramai agar gagal melihat intipati politik dan makna hakiki demokrasi.

Lalu saya bertanya adakah sesiapa yang dapat membezakan Pepsi dengan Coke? Adakah sesiapa yang dapat membezakan Adidas dengan Puma? Hakikatnya – pemilik saham Pepsi adalah juga pemilik saham Coke. Hakikatnya – Puma dan Adidas adalah dua beradik yang membuka peniagaan yang sama – satu kedai di kiri jalan dan sebuah lagi di kanan jalan. Kedua-duanya mengamalkan sistem kapitalis yang berlandaskan keuntungan. Yang membezakan hanya ejaan nama yang bermula dengan A dan P.

Kita wajib sedar bahawa kaum pemodal akan terus merancang untuk memastikan kepentingan ekonomi mereka selamat. Apa yang mereka pertahankan bukan saekar kebun getah atau sebuah Kancil. Yang mereka pertahankan ialah sistem ekonomi kapitalis yang selama 150 tahun ini telah mengembongkan saku dan dompet mereka. Sistem ini telah menjadikan mereka senang lenang dan kaya raya dengan harta berbilion-bilion dolar dan ringgit.

Dung will be going acoustic for AI’s International Human Rights Day. Unlike what we’ve been doing before, this time we are hopeful that all in the band will be able to play, instead of just Joe & Alak on two acoustic guitars. Songs we’re planning to do includes The Gibran Song, a tune we wrote back in the mid-90s but never recorded which is about the death of compassion in the plight of the Palestinian struggle and refugees (influenced by the writings of Khalil Gibran).

AI’s website stated thus:

7.00 pm: Solidarity Night : Dari Rakyat Untuk Rakyat.

The Project, an independent initiative undertaken by singer songwriter Meor Yusof Izzidin and friends is best described as the first of is kind in the history of Malaysian folk music featuring various artists including Amin Iskandar & Mei Chern expressing the many various human rights and social justice issues in Malaysia. Also featured are social activist singer songwriters/band Carburetor Dung & Jerome Kugan, poet and artist Rahmat Haron and performance artist Khuber & Han

I saw KARAOKE at its press screening about a month ago and I think you people should check it out for its beautifully shot and poetic meditation upon the slow death of a kampung with its lives and spirit lost in the wastelands of a palm oil plantation.

Take note! KARAOKE is screening for ONLY one week, and get this, it’s showing ONLY at the GSC International Screen. Yes, “international” screen for a movie shot in Ijok, Selangor and made by a largely Malaysian crew! Only in Bolehland!

One of Chris Chong’s previous films, the short Block B (written by the late and missed Toni Kasim) will screen with the feature on 28 & 29 November only.
