Joe joins in a forum organised by Fahmi Reza on the “Role of Punks in Society”
MDC / THE BOLLOCKS / CARBURETOR DUNG Split-CD
A project initiated by Marty of Jerk Off Records (California) somewhere in the middle of 2010 but only recently taking proper roots and now finally available for sale via interpunk and Jerk Off Records.
Marty first contacted us in June 2010, with a plan to have MDC, DUNG & an Indonesian punk band called HA! HA! HA! contributing to a split-CD with a few tracks each. However a month later, HA! HA! HA! proved to be hard to get in touch with, so Marty contacted Tom (yes, our Tom) for a few of THE BOLLOCKS tracks. Thus it became quite an incestuous affair with Tom’s old band in it!
By September, we started work on it proper with emails a-blazing. Come October 2010, SBS Records in Ohio joined in, so it became a split-label release between Jerk Off & SBS. However work brought Joe away from this project until January this year where he started doing the preliminary cover & t-shirt designs and such. After which Joe went AWOL again for a lot work he had on his plate. The work on the CD resumed in June 2011 and finally done (poster, CD sleeve & t-shirt designs) in August.
The CD is now available from:

* the poster above is free with early birds ordering from Interpunk, along with a t-shirt, we heard.
Here’s Joe’s t-shirt designs which will be available from SBS Records soon:
WHEN WILL THE CDs AVAILABLE IN MALAYSIA?
Well, DUNG will be getting some, while The Ricecooker Shop will also order them for sale. We are expecting it to be next month (November 2011).
WHICH DUNG SONGS ARE ON IT?
DUNG contributed four songs:
1) Mata Buta
2) Hanturaya Putrajaya
3) Mari Nyanyi Menjilat
4) Johnny (Punk Not Death!)
The first two are from the 2007 Inginku Rejam Raksasa Kejam LP session, while Mari Nyanyi Menjilat is from Radio Malaya compilation and Johnny from the rare The Dude Puked On My Lap CD-R compilation. All the tracks re-leveled and mastered by Craigums (CONQUEST FOR DEATH/WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?/YOUR MOTHER) – that said, we haven’t heard the results just yet so we can’t comment!

Boo Hoo by Fadedface!
Our first vocalist Shahlan has been quite active with his new band (the reformed) FADEDFACE and here they rendered Boo Hoo in their own way and faster too.

What do we think? Well, it’s always fun to see our friends covering the song, but this version is a bit too fast for kids to singalong to it. What do you think?
Saturday, 2nd July 2011: Thrash Detonation 2011 @ MyEvo, Pandan Indah, KL

Saturday, 2nd July 2011 – Rescue Merdeka Review Benefit Show @ MCPA Hall, KL
Merdeka Review is an independent Chinese news portal which is facing closure due to a lack of funds, especially when its main backers pulled out in May.
“The site faces closure after their sponsors, a group of businessmen, withdrew support in what is believed to be an attempt to mollify critics of Merdeka Review’s coverage of China’s treatment of dissidents. The backers are believed to be unhappy with recent coverage of China’s treatment of dissident writer Ai Weiwei who disappeared two months ago after being detained by the authorities. The site had also ruffled feathers with coverage of events in Tibet.” – HERE

Saturday, 25th June 2011- Transcendence, in Solidarity w/ Rumah Api @ Rumah Api, Ampang
The ol’ Gudang Noisy is dead, but from the ashes there’s a new entity, RUMAH API and this is a benefit for the DIY space, in conjunction with the Trancendence Tour by Singapore’s PAZAHORA.
In solidarity with Rumah Api, the phoenix arising from the ashes of Gudang Noisy + a part of PAZAHORA’s Transcendence Tour.
from S&A:
In solidarity; Rumah Api.
Shock&Awe! is honoured to present you Pazahora, in conjunction with their Transcendence tour at recently rejuvenated Rumah Api. You might wonder, why Rumah Api as there are lot of venues around Kuala Lumpur that might have better sound system and complete facilities, and are more strategically located. The answer is simple;
Because Rumah Api is all we have. For punks by the punks.
We at Shock&Awe! Media believe that the initiative of keeping autonomous space for DIY punk empowerment should be kept alive. Because this is our alternative avenue. And let us question ourselves where do we stand without the existence of all these alternatives? Do we conform? Do we end up like the rest? Bear in mind that all of this are choices, not mandatory.
We all know that Rumah Api (formerly known as Gudang Noisy) had experienced frequent occurrence of finance instability almost to the brink of loss. They did asked for donation, organized benefit shows, basically doing whatever necessary to save the space. They are aware of the risk of failures but they refuse to surrender cause they believe that they
rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in.
And this is from all of us who still believe;
Rumah Api, this is for you.
With alliances:
PAZAHORA – Singapore’s transcending punk.
…DUNG – Ugly, ugly, ugly. So ugly.
NOSTALGIA – Reunion! All over the place’s old school hardcore.
BLOODSTONE – Choa Chu Kang’s axe and chain thrash metal!
ATOMIC DEATH – = Shah Alam’s long hair thrash metal revivalist.
MEMORIAL – The finest modern hardcore so far, made in Puchong y’all.
GYMNASTIC SKULL WHISTLING – Temerloh’s api syurga meragut lalang!
LUCHAR LIBERTAD – Rumah Api’s own 80′s hardcore.
JALAN SEHALA – Ampang’s skateboard and old school vans.
OSMANTIKOS – Bandar Baru Bangi’s dare to rise.
