Naib Presiden PAS, Dato’ Husam Musa: Jangan Salahkan Carburetor Dung
Wednesday, 09 July 2008 12:43

KOTA BHARU : Naib Presiden PAS, Dato’ Husam Musa meminta supaya semua pihak tidak menyalahkan kumpulan underground Carburetor Dung yang mengadakan persembahan nyanyian pada perhimpunan Protes anjuran parti Pakatan Rakyat kerana kumpulan itu berani membawa mesej kepada kerajaan.

“Saya bukannya pro kepada band rock itu tetapi kalau kita dengar semula senikata lagu (yang dinyanyikan) itu ada mesej tertentu kepada kerajaan, cuma silap budak tu (penyanyi) buka seluar walaupun dalam konsertnya sebelum ini pun dia memang buat begitu, jadi pada malam itu tak baiklah dia buat macam tu,” jelasnya.

Katanya, sekiranya Pakatan Rakyat (PR) mengadakan bantahan dengan cara keluar di jalanan khuatir pelabur berasa takut dan bimbang berlaku kekecohan dan terus menuduh PR sengaja menimbulkan ketidakstabilan kepada negara.

Beliau berpendapat bagi menyampaikan mesej kepada kerajaan tidak semestinya dengan berkasar sedangkan pendekatan secara ‘gentle’ boleh dilakukan.

“Pada pandangan saya perbuatan (melondehkan seluar) boleh diperbetulkan, janganlah kita hukum dia sampai tinggal mesej lantang kepada mereka,”

Katanya, kumpulan tersebut telah membawa mesej yang bersifat kritikal kepada kerajaan dan jika didengar semula lirik lagunya ibarat terkena pada batang hidung mereka (kerajaan) sendiri.

“Kalau golongan muda seperti itu pun sudah boleh sindir kerajaan, ini menunjukkan sudah ada penyertaan dari pelbagai pihak bagi menyampaikan mesej kepada kerajaan,” katanya.

Beliau menambah perhimpunan itu adalah bukan untuk orang yang warak dan wali sahaja tetapi kepada semua pihak yang ingin suarakan bantahan. Baginya mesej yang cuba disampaikan pada perhimpunan tersebut sudah sampai matlamatnya tidak sebagaimana yang didakwa oleh kerajaan.

Ahad lalu, vokalis kumpulan Carburetor Dung telah melakukan perbuatan tidak sopan dengan melondehkan seluar ketika mengadakan konsert pada Perhimpunan Protes Sejuta Rakyat-Protes Sampai Turun di Stadium Kelana Jaya, Selangor. Lagu yang dinyanyikan ketika itu Mari Nyanyi Menjilat.

end.

Alamak!

It’s out in the papers and the blogs/portals:

as I wrote on ricecooker:

Friends all, kami semua OK (Alak ada benjol sikit kat dahi). kami perlu berterima kasih pada pemuda-pemuda AMK (Angkatan Pemuda Keadilan - t-shirt biru) yang rata-rata marah tapi masih cuba sedaya-upaya menyelamatkan kami dari segerombolan pemuda-pemuda berbaju merah yang memang ready to rip us apart. With the help of AMK, we all managed to sneak out of the stadium (separately) after about 20 minutes being under siege.

The problem here is our song “Mari Nyanyi Menjilat”. Macam biasa, Alak did his exposing his underwear thing and of course dalam situasi panas tentang “liwat-meliwat” sekarang, aku rasa that gesture was misunderstood by the people there.

Some reports I saw also misquoted the title as “Liwat” instead of “Jilat”, so if some bloggers made the mistake, I’m sure a lot of the people in the stadium misunderstood too. So many took umbrage lah, thinking that we were making fun of Anwar. Actually I even explained to the crowd the gist of the song before we played it.

The thing is aku rasa Alak was in his “auto-pilot” mode. We have been playing that song for a long time and to a lot of people for years already and Alak have always been doing that to heighten the “satire”. The kids in the scene would get the joke all the time but we can’t expect the same from the public. That’s our mistake.

Anyways, apart from the guys in AMK, we also must thank Tom (Skitzofrenia) who shielded Alak from a lot blows, and in the process also got some benjol-benjol. Much thanks to Mad Yus (Apparatus), Poodien, Mirdza (Relationsheep), Black and many more who were there and helped out.

BTW; Mari Nyanyi Menjilat (not Mari Belajar Menjilat, as Malay Mail wrote) is about integrity or the lack of it; the mother of corruption…

Boo Hoo in JB - For the very first time!

This is taken by Atia on our digital camera (as the DV cam somehow went kaput!). It’s also the only clip of us playing the Konsert D’Selatan 5, City Plaza, JB; unless someone else would post up his/her clips.

Anyway, we’ve never played JB before, so this is the first time Boo Hoo got aired in JB! Pretty weird since that song is now like 15 years old!

Dung in JB: June 15th 2008 - Pixs

We had good fun but the waiting was quite an ordeal.

Manan drove us down to JB with his spacious and uber-comfy Estima van. Fits eight people with tonnes of legroom. The airconditioning requires a good day-jacket to warm you up sufficiently, but that’s what made it so comfy. Bebe, Shammir & Atia tagged along with us.

This is the scene at about 3pm on the 4th floor (AKA the “3A Floor”) of the City Plaza, in JB. The gang sat at the middle table. All around us there were merch tables. On the left side (out of the pix), inside the recesses in the wall was the stage. The stage area filled up at anytime. Kids in JB supports whatever band playing!

One Night at Rimbun Dahan, Kuang, Selangor

image

We had a great time playing at the WWF’s Art For Nature 2008 Fund Raising which took place at the unlikely venue (for punk rock); the spread-mungous Rimbun Dahan estate in Kuang, Selangor last night.

The show took place at the ground floor of one of the houses there. The space looks out into the open, surrounded by man-made water catchment with the audience sitting pretty far out on the landings and stairs.

The night started with tonnes of food, drinks and good company. At around 10pm, Gasoline Grenade started the show, followed with Alak and Ikin’s acoustic trio The Pip (with Farhana on vocals). After which we played, ending with a jam with our favourite skronk-people; Ah Tham & Yandsen - doing our Stooges version AKu Mau Jadi Anjing Mu!

Both Ah Tham & Yandsen continued on as EMACM with Azmyl Yunor on drums and Siew-Wai on pipes. The night ended with the crazy antics of Ciplak, with Aziz wading the water trying revive his fire-starter stick. Yeah, he was spitting fire all over the place.

Here are some pictures taken by Farhana:

What's So Funny About Love, Understanding & Fermented Filth?

Nothing apart from the smell actually.

Carburetor Dung has been around since 1991, in different permutations and persuasions.

There were times of hibernation and "project bands" but The Dung always comes back kicking.

The current incarnation has been active since 2005 with Fendi - bass, Joe Kidd - guitar, Alak - vocals and Bullet - drums.

Late 2007, we added old friend Tom Bollocks on the other guitar.
