Yes u didn't read wrong. Stone Revivals and Moods will performing there. If you can't heck the 4hrs bus up, i believe tickets for Observatory's 2 nites (28, 29 Aug) at Substation are still available. Give the ticketing box office a buzz to find out. Enquiries: 6337 7800 (box office). For more details, go to http://www.substation.org/eve_Aug.html

If that's too easy, go walk around Bt Timah Nature Reserves.

Went there with jeanne's colleagues 2 weekends ago and it was quite a blast. The highlight came at the end when we scurry off across to the line of eateries at Bt timah 7 mile (opposite Beauty World) where we feasted on fish hor fun, some prawn stuff, some chicken stuff, some gorgeous brocoli and other green stuff.

I discovered Manifest late. They have been gigging a bit but it wasn't until i chanced upon their Budaya on radio (thats a very rare occurrence) that i went out to Dada to buy Myx Metal Assault. An awesome song which i reckon to be up there amongst the cultural medallion winners on National Day. This was in 1998. Soon after the band split but the song remains the same.





arghhhhhhhhhh it must be cos i havent been blogging for some time, i klutz click and deleted my prevous entry. grrrrr...
jus to make up for it, here were the pics and a song.

Work kept me busy these last few months. Not as frantic and sleepless as previous projects but still enough to nuah the body out. It's also nice to be lazy. Hence no updates, no new bootlegs, no pics. All that is gonna change with brand new hosting courtesy of sangsara.net. thanx bran!

Made it for the Sarawak Rainforest World Music Fest in July. My 3rd time in a row. Highly recommended. Walk the small streets of Kuching and tried out this popular pig organ noodle stall. Excellent yummilicious stuff well worth the 40minute wait.

Got back and got cracking on the music for Frontline. Last episode is showing this sunday 1030pm on Channel U.
More boots will follow soon. Yes im alive and feeling thirsty again.
