Eight years ago nobody cares who uncle Hussain was. Now everybody wants to Meet Uncle Hussain. Undoubtably one of Malaysia’s top rising acts in the local indie scene, Meet Uncle Hussain consist of Lan on vocals and guitar, Taja on guitar, Afatt on Bass and Kudux on drums.

Meet Uncle Hussain themselves are not new to the indie scene, but had recently hitched a ride on the fame train. Their big break happened when two of their songs were picked up to be featured in a hit teen TV series, K.A.M.I.

Meet Uncle Hussain is one of those bands that sounds good in recording, but sounds even better when performing live. You can see that clearly this band enjoys performing live.

KLue Urbanscapes, the city’s all-day creative arts festival sounds interesting. It will be held at KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center). They are labeling it as a “user-generated” creative arts festival where the organizer is taking a step back and letting the the city’s creative leaders run the show.

The organizer is working with various groups, collective and individuals letting them decide on what’s going to happen at Urbanscapes 2008. The general public can also votes to influence on which music acts to be featured.

Creative communities of different fields, music, arts, lifestyle and film will all be together at KLPAC for a whole day of awesome creative artsy fun. The festival will split into several different sections.

This is a follow up on Rock on Rave, as posted yesterday. The second day of Rock on Rave was much better then the day before. This time they started on time but the crowd wasn’t. I thought I was early, there are more ’security’ then fans. I wasn’t early because Bunkface was playing.

Apparently I bring my camera but not its battery. Silly, I know. Fortunately I live near by, so it was much of a problem. When back, had lunch at Little Penang, then back to the action.
