Finally, after not too much thoughts and planning, we are going to visit Manila in late July. Thanks to our artist friends there; Mervin Espina & Donna Miranda; who thought about having us there while being drunk one night and contacted us! They and our good mates Albert Ascona, Emmanuel & Dha; all of which have been asking us to go there and play for years; will sort out when and where we will be playing. If you’re in town, do come and hang out!

G H O S T : A solo project by Roslisham Ismail @ Ise
Friday, April 16, 2010 at 6:00pm to Monday, April 19, 2010 at 12:00am
15, Jalan Mesui, Off Jalan Nagasari, 50200, Kuala Lumpur

We are invited by Ise and crew to play this Sunday, right after two planned sets by DEEPSET. The venue is an old shop lot (next door to No Black Tie) owned by our friend Yati which is now fast becoming a venue of sort! Bullet have been working with Ise and gang preparing for the exhibition in the capacity of the technical guru, with our Tom doing a bit of wire soldering, and Joe helping out with minor software installs.

exhibit notes:

GHOST is a highly collaborative project and is co-curated by Vincent Leong and Eva McGovern who are also working with members from legendary KL bands: Bullet (Carburetor Dung) and Bob (The Pilgrims). Taking place over a long weekend the project will open with a DJ-set by Asung (Jakarta) and Dan (Sydney). There will be a special closing event with a live performance by local post rock band Deepset who will be musically responding to the drawings to create a spectacular finale to this intricate and ambitious project.

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.

Dung on Facebook

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.

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.

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

Yes, an old dream given up years ago but somehow turning up unexpectedly and it seems to be coming true. I think the first tune I heard of Buzzcocks was “Breakdown”, the first tune from the band’s debut EP “Spiral Scratch”, 30 years ago. It was love at first listen…

Anyway, each support band is supposed to play a 15 minutes set, nothing more, which is cool since i’d be gagging for Buzzcocks anyway. SO we thought maybe we plan for a revisit of old tunes, playing four songs from the old days. Or maybe we should write a new song to spice up the rehearsal a bit. hmmm.

This will be our second show in Terengganu, the last one was, ughhh, a looong time ago boss!!
