Last weekend we saw a culture clash. In Malaysia, indie punk rock scene doesn’t mix well in our socio-political movement. A protest against the recent petrol price rise was held at Kelana Jaya Stadium leads to a unwelcome event.
The highly choreographed buttocks antics of Carburetor Dung’s singer while performing the song “Mari Nyanyi Menjilat“, normally would be a crowd pleaser, but not to the crowds at the Kelana Jaya’s protest.

The KL Indie Fest ‘08, is an event dedicated to all indie lovers. Will be held on 5th July 2008 (this saturday), at KL Tower. This comes as a short notice, as it was recently bought to my attention.
It looks to be yet another wholesome event. The KL Indie Fest 08 will features a whole mix of bands. From old hard-hitters bands like Butterfingers, OAG, One Buck Short and the reunion of Dead Mushroom to new sensations Bittersweet, Meet Uncle Hussain, Couple, The Times, They Will Kill Us All.

A report on last weekend’s KLue Urbanscapes 2008, the city’s all-day creative arts festival held at KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center). Although I’ve heard many things about KLPac from friends, but this was my first time to KLPac.
The place blows my mind away. Situated at Sentul, which is in the middle of busy KL city, but once you are inside you will loose all notions that you are still in the busy hectic cosmopolitan city known as Kuala Lumpur. On the way in, you are greeted with beautiful greenery landscapes, clear lake and an old A’ Famosa colonial-esque building. KLPac with its huge spaces of greenery is perfect for events such as this.
KLue Urbanscapes 2008 on the other hand was a kaleidoscope of sights, scenes and sounds. It is as if all of the city’s creative communities gathered at KLPac and do their thing. Also it seems as if everybody in KL who has Digital-SLR cameras are there at KLPac, Urbanscapes. All kind of camera was present. Everybody all trigger happy, including myself.
We were early for Urbanscapes. This is notable, because rarely do I manage to come early on such events. There are goodies for early birds, we got a paper doll thingy from Urban Cr3atures.

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.
