PUSHER
Our Beloved City of the Dead CD
(Knot Records 2010)

An energetic, beery mix of rockin’ 77-style punk rock ala The Clash, and a slew of American influences from Social Distortion to Youth Brigade to early Rancid – 7 songs bookended with 2 tracks with a bit of dub-reggae sheenanigans. Most RECOMMENDED!!

THE PIPS
Tug of War CD
(Knot Records 2010)

Most excellent radikal DIY-folk-rock blessed with top-notch pop-sensibilities. One of the few local bands which are taking DIY-punk into other realms, ungoverned by trends nor fads. The boys and girls are destroying walls at every step. Most RECOMMENDED!!

BLACK BOOTS from Yogjakarta in Java have been around since 1996 and currently the band features Manyul – vocals, Bodhong – drums, Arya Semar – guitar, Sutik – Bass & Kunx- Guitar. Manyul is now living and raising a family in Australia but he would be back every year to Yogya and Black Boots would come alive.

Hey there,

Food not bombs Kuala Lumpur (FNBKL) has been operating in Kuala Lumpur since 2000. Since then, we have been consistenly tabling food to the homefree, street folks as well as whoever who wants it every Sunday evening at Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur.

A little bit on our politics. We believe there is enough food for everyone and there is no need for people to go hungry. People go hungry because the state and corporations are too invested in making money for themselves while they screw over other people. We believe if all those excessive amount of money which the state and corporations spend on arms and war are used instead for housing, health care, food, and all things which are being neglected by them, the world will be a much better place. (pardon my hippiness) Besides that, we also do not condone wastage of food.

We “recycle”, meaning we collect unwanted vegetables which are perfectly edible and whip them up into pretty good stuff and share it with people. We try to reduce consumption as much as we can. And yes, we only serve vegan food as it is both healthy and nonviolent.

Anyways, we are writing this email to request for donations. We are running low a few things and we hope you would be able to donate some of the things which we need and use for our weekly tabling.

rice – we cook at least 2 kg of rice every Sunday
cordial – we make drinks too
sugar – for the drink
oil – to cook the food
spices – to make our dishes delicious =)

Those are mainly the things that we really need. However, we will graciously accept whatever that you would like to donate to us. At the same time, we do not want you to rush out and go on this shopping spree at your nearest supermarket. Support your local grocer instead of some corporate supermarket. And you can also give stuff like canned food or spices which has been sitting in your kitchen cabinet for a long long time. Look in your kitchen first before going out to buy things. Instead of throwing them away, you can just donate it to us.

If you would like to donate any of the mentioned items above or other stuff, please send us an email at thilaga.sulathireh [at] gmail [dot] com or please give us a call at 03 7955 0941 or 017 630 6795.

p/s: for the time being we cook at section 8, pj. we start cooking at 1 pm-ish. we later bring the food to bukit nanas at about 5.30. we start tabling the food at 6pm. please join us if you can.

thank you and have a nice day ahead! =)

“Heavy metal lost one of its icons Sunday when singer Ronnie James Dio died at 67. He was being treated in a Houston hospital for stomach cancer.

“My heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m,” said a statement by his wife, Wendy, posted Sunday on the singer’s Web site and confirmed by publicist Maureen O’Connor.” – here

Gudang Noisy Manifesto!

Gudang Noisy Manifesto

Salam semua

Untuk pengetahuan semua, beberapa rakan telah bersepakat mahu menjadikan Gudang Noisy (ruang belakang Studio Noisy) sebagai satu pusat sosial dan pusat komuniti. Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, Studio Noisy berfungsi sebagai tempat untuk pertunjukan muzik underground dan kredibiliti tempat ini dalam mengendalikan petunjukan dan membantu scene hardcore punk di Malaysia sudah tidak dapat dinafikan lagi. Atas semangat dan pegangan rakan-rakan ini terhadap prinsip DIY, dan juga setelah di-influence oleh kejayaan beberapa kelab, warehouse atau squat terkenal di serata dunia seperti 924 Gilman (California, US), ABC No Rio (New York, US) Ungdomshuset (Copenhagen, Denmark), Kulturkampanjen’s Cyclops (Stockholm, Sweden) dan Blackhole 212 (Singapura), maka tergerak langkah kelompok sahabat ini untuk menggunakan Gudang Noisy sebaik yang mungkin untuk kesenangan bersama.
