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.

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!!
June 27th 2009 – Cloth’n'Clef, Changkat Bukit Bintang, KL
July 4th 2009 – 09_kuala_kangsar.jpg, Kuala Kangsar RAINHOUSE, Taiping Perak
July 11th 2009 – Dewan MPS, Seremban, KOMPLEKS BELIA DAN SUKAN PAROI, Negeri Sembilan
CANCELLED!! We can’t play the show. We thought we can play there later at night but the venue only allows for the show to go til 8 pm, and our drummer Bullet can’t make it to Seremban before that. Apologies to all… we’ll make it there one day.
We’re gonna be playing with Philippines’ veteran bands Bad Omen & TSA and it will be our first time being in the “sauna” that is Gudang Noisy.

Been a while since we go to the East Coast to play! And it’s the first time ever we’re playing the fabled Cherating beach! Hopefully the sun will be up instead of miserable weather.
A small show, downstairs from Paul’s Place, do check out War All The Time from Leeds, UK and Always Last, excellent and fast melodic punk rock from Shah Alam.
Come lah!

Next,
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.
A new album has been in the works since June 2007, it will feature around 10 songs to be released by The Riceccoker Shop on CD format somewhere in June 2008.
