hello people,
you may have been wondering about Unclogged New Years Eve. It's
definitely on, it's just that I've been stricken with this persistent
flu for nearly two weeks now and i'm too dribbly and bedridden to care.
anyway, here's a list of bands confirmed to play:
Apparatus – D-Beat Punk Rock from around the city.
Telebury – Quite amazing dreamy indie-pop from Kuching (but based here
I heard). They've just put out a very good demo CD-R recently, the best
I've heard all year round actually.
Sampah Masyarakat – a raw and edgy acoustic singer-songwriter ensemble
from the UBU camp.
WindChime – that didgeridoo, neo-Santana, deliciously solid rock gang
from Subang.
still awaiting confirmation:
a couple of bands from Singapore
Carburetor Dung (back with new songs and a new line-up)
and a few more acts.
plus the hugely popular keropok lekor stall!
flyers on the way and I will be confirming more acts in the next few
days.
details:
Unclogged New Years Eve
December 31st, 8.30pm, RM10, No Black Tie, KL
