Went to 'Unite 4 Gempa Bumi' show at a big bikes event. It was at Maeps, caught 3 last acts; 679, Hawa and Warehouse 6.

Met Azreen Subculture at the other side of the big venue. Apparently I was at the wrong stage where all the bike gang was gathering waiting for prize giving ceremony or something. Asked Azreen and he showed me the way.

679 is a ska punk band since 1999, now reformed as a skapunkmetal band since two years ago. They nearly finish recording a new album!

Hawa is quite new, grungy female fronted band with Acap (the Fridays) on drums. Kinda like L7 i think. Oh the front woman is Eff Hakim previously from Pastel Lite.

Warehouse 6 is a ska band with ex-vocals from Moda Moody singing for them. Been seeing their name a lot on gig posters especially ska shows.

Met Adie (Youth Culture Zine/Records) too.

Feel The Pain Vol. 6 show at Drum Asia.

Band lama Kuantan dan band kelate... it's not about Pata Timo... but I just have to be there!

DEP's first kaset is one of the first local DIY releases that I got back in the days! Early inspiration! Always love them.

No Good... good songs and lyrics! Siapa dok s**a No Good?

Marmalia... of course I am always more into the more melodic styles of hc/punk. Have to catch them if they are in town.

It's been awhile since I went to any shows.

DEP's drummer Asma couldn't make it so Acai and Tojeng settled with a calm duo set. Played songs from their three releases, a cover of 'Sunshine Smile' from Adorable. They also introduced a new song from their yet to name new project band.

No Good delivered as usual energetic set. Smek did a commentary on the recent issue pertaining Armpunk Syndicate's vocalist and advised the crowd not to get involved or do violence against others. They played the "kito tokse gocoh, tokse baloh" song.

Kids went crazy during Marmalia set. Everyone seems happily singing along. This Singaporean band was on their '3 Hari 3 Kota' mini tour.

Met alot of familiar faces and hanged out and catch up with Acai, Tojeng, Azman Nosehair until 1 am. Enjoy the pictures.

Just recently I was asked to list 5 favorite hc/punk songs. I said 5 is too little.

Viva La Punk - the bo****ks
Cooperation not competition -dep
Gegar -spunky funggy
Spiral youth -Enslaved Chaos
Sejahtera -depress
Jom layan punk -Always Last
Perfume garden -the pilgrims
Tak mau lagi - Mass separation
Fuyoo - J***y Comes Lately
I'll fight back -Second Combat

But I love these bands too, and they have many songs that I like...

Plague of Happiness
Carburetor Dung

This is my kind of thang.

Baru selesai tengok 2-3 kali dokumentari 'Pekik' arahan Fariq Alias. Ianya berkisar tentang scene muzik underground dari era 90an hingga kini yang lebih dikenali sebagai 'indie'. Menampilkan

Azmyl yunor
Aru
Fathul
Radhi
Emmet
Loque
Abg Rom
Francis Wolf
Tam Blindtribe

Dan juga

Dead Mushroom
Private Whizz
Restraint
Nervedeless
Meor Muck tentang kompilasi Kopi Sechewen
Couple
Strikeout
Dan lain-lain...

Yang menariknya ada footage gig-gig lama yang belum pernah aku tengok sebelum ni. Ada footage lama Carburetor Dung, Flop Poppy zaman Radhi, Spiral Kinetic Circus dengan Kombat dan lain-lain. Ada cerita pasal kompilasi 'A Circle of Friends', pasal demo tape, zine dan Blasting Concept.

Aru ada bawa tour sikit dalam rumah 121-C di Brickfields, tempat remaja Underground menyewa dan lepak dulu.

Kelakar bila Radhi cerita mereka dulu time nak dubbing demo, beli kaset yang tak laku berharga 50 sen di Petaling Street, tak mampu nak beli kaset kosong.

Doku yang berdurasi 1 jam 57 saat ni ada juga cerita pasal Campbell Complex dan juga hal isu black metal melanda negara sampai semua gig susah untuk dibuat.

Doku ni dah keluar Raya tahun lepas tapi masa tu aku tak dapat tengok sebab dikeluarkan di Astro First, aku takde Astro. Lepas tu di Viu, aku takde Viu. Sempena bulan puasa dan raya tahun 2024 ni mereka jual pakej CD kompilasi mereka dan doku ni (unlimited boleh tengok selama 15 hari), so aku sauk la...

Good job! Aku enjoi doku ni.

Went to this gig yesterday, what a good venue - Lot 19 is a large warehouse-like indoor skate park at Setor Gombak. The skate park is run by an old timer skateboarder from Klang, Ali Kundang -we know him since we were in secondary school, his interview appeared in Sandwich skate zine issue 2. It's our first time meeting him, much respect.

The venue is half-full all through out the gig. It was my first time at that area. There's a big food court there and another larger concert venue in the compound too, Panggung Asia.

Went to witness Skunkfix who recently reactivated, 199X who are currently on tour to promote their new album and also The Hard-crops who I really like. A skinhead band playing old skool style Oi! music.

Others were newer and mainstays hardcore acts (Restraint, Thy Regiment, Naratu) with a lot of 2-steps and wall of deaths.

Very good turn-up of kids; skinheads, punks and hardcore kids were all there. Maybe because of the cover charge - RM10 only!

Congrats to Azam Thy Regiment for organizing the gig. It went on til New Year but I left at 11.30 p.m.

Selamat Tahun Baru all.
