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.
Rock on Rave event is the brainchild of iseekmusic entertainment. Aiming to be Malaysia’s first non-stop music festival. Two days, two stages, 32 bands and 3 electronica DJs. Held at Cineleisure Damansara rooftop, starts from 1pm till midnight, that’s almost 12 hours of non-stop music.
Rock on Rave, the two day even brings together some of the finest local indie acts.
Day one features Butterfingers, Republic of Brickfields, Komplot, Furniture, Telephony Delivery, Bunkface, Grape, The Other Side Orchestra, Para Avion, Second Combat, Avalon’s Whisper, Man Under Zero Effort, Scandel, 40 Winks and Deserters. Two electronica DJs, Twilight Action Girl and Shaheed Naz.
Day two will showcase bands from Oh Chentaku, Couple, Bittersweet, Lightcraft, Nao, Creamson, Funky Doryz, Cassandra, A New Fall, Dashown, They Will Kill Us All, Killeur, Calculateur, Restraint, Forsaken 41 and Prema Yin. Two electronica DJs are Twilight Action Girl and Unknown Device.
‘Oh Chentaku‘ roughly translate to “Oh My Love” in english with the word ‘cinta‘ spelled the old way. First glance at the band’s name you would have thought that this is some old school, mushy, sentimental, hopeless romantic band. They however, are far form being mushy, they classified their music type as more towards 90s post-hardcore / emo rock.
The band had already played in a number of shows in Malaysian and all around South East Asia, with an Indonesia tour on their schedule. Considering that and the fact that it’s been barely a year since the band was first formed, they looked pretty impressive.
No doubt that Hujan is currently the ‘it’ band at the moment. Creating stirs in the underground music scene and at the same time taking the mainstream by storm.
You’ve heard their songs played on the airwave. You’ve seen them sell out gigs. Though Hujan was only formed about two years ago, their rise to fame has been unprecedented. In fact, they are the most talked-about act to emerge in recent memory, an indie band too big for the mainstream to ignore.
