Saya tidak pernah menyatakan bahawa saya meminati muzik ska. Saya hilang dalam tarian hiruk-pikuk apabila Gerhana Ska Cinta menguasai pentas pada acara Rock the World beberapa tahun lepas. Ketika cik Widy tidak kelihatan bersama Gerhana Ska Cinta pada acara Sunburst 2009, saya yakin itu pengesahan bahawa “The Cat Woman” sudah beralih arah. Hilang seri Gerhana Ska Cinta. Hilang seri pada wajah saya. Read more...

Dua tahun berturut-turut saingan-saingan hebat dari Johan Nawawi, Adnan Abu Hassan, Ajai, M. Nasir, Audi Mok dan Aidit Alfian ditewaskan dengan penangan muzik ciptaan anak-anak muda generasi baru. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan tersendiri dan adunan bunyi yang berbeza dari arus perdana, dijangkakan muzik indie bakal menakluk pentas Juara Lagu dengan gabungan batalion Estranged, Hujan, Yuna dan Bunkface pada tahun 2009 ini.

This is the first of what will be known as the monthly Jiboneus top 5 music chart.

So how do I came out with the five track every month? Most of the time I use iTunes or my iPod to listen to music. Each time you listen to a song on iTunes it records the play count. This is also true with iPods. Each time you sync your iPod to your iTunes it updates the songs play count.

Every end of month I’ll check my iTunes and get a list of 5 most played track on my iTunes, as the Jiboneus top 5 chart. For the month January 2009 we have: -

Last Saturday, we saw BB Plaza’s rooftop car park area transformed into a venue of music, arts design and fashion. All hell broke loose as teenage fans gathered in a small confine area for a free gig and some cheap thrill. Even though it rained a little bit, but that didn’t stop the havoc that’s taking place on the roof top. Security was good, for a free gig. Read more...

Just a short plug. Read more...

There are now quite a number of local indie bands and artists featured on Jiboneus. I don’t write just about any band that I came across, just only the ones that I like.

Normally I don’t write about bands that I have not yet been to any of their performances and also bands that has not release any official albums, or EPs.

However, I have to make exception for this band known as Selamat Pagi Gadis. I had never seen them perform live, and yet I like them enough to be featured on Jiboneus.

KAMI the gig at Bukit Jalil last saturday was a good mix of new and old bands. A super gig with over 20 of the best local acts performing to a large crowd in the middle of the Bukit Jalil Stadium carpark. Over 10 hours of non-stop indie music.

The event was split up into three sessions noon, evening and night. I was late, didn’t make it for the early session. Miss out on some great bands like Estrella and Couple but thats alright since I’ve been to many of their gigs.

I was however disappointed for missing out on bands like Harmacy, Laila’s Lounge and Plague of Happiness. It is not that often that these bands play here in K.L.

Have you had a day where nothing goes as plan? Today was that day for me. I had plan to go to a friend’s wedding in Putrajaya then straight to Sentul KLPAC to catch Yuna’s mini concert for her EP launch.

I over slept. Stayed up late the night before.

Decided to skip the wedding and went straight to KLPAC for Yuna’s EP launching. It’s my second time to KLPac and it still amazes me to see such a place, such beautiful landscape to exist in the middle of a chaotic city.
