Touchdown 2014

ALT HQ Year End Showdown

We're going to play this show. We got a surprise, since Spanky has a job to handle and will be out of state, we'll have a guess drummer. Who is he??? Come and find out yourself. We'll try to be at Dataran Merdeka as soon as the gig ends. See you at the frontline!!

TURUNKAN KOS SARA HIDUP!!!

Dum Dum Tak at #PartyDuBook

Last two weeks was quite chaotic. My friend from school, Najib (or also known as Mamat the guitarist of Sleepyjeremy) who is now a well-known book author (pen name Jarr Nadjmuddin) called me. His publisher, DuBook Press was organizing a book party, #PartyDuBook at the Red Bungalow. I called Fael but failed to do so. Spanky and Nakid (Fael’s brother who played guitar regularly with us now) tried to contact him too, but failed. I already told Najib that we would play at the party so we panicked! Just a day before the gig, Fael called me and said his phone is damaged. I told him about the gig but he couldn’t make it since he couldn't change his work shift. 

I tried to ask Shah (Always Last) to play with us ‘cause he used to strum for us but he already had a plan that Saturday. So, Spanky and I decided we should just play with Nakid as the front man, handling the only guitar and sing. We didn’t have time to rehearse as Spanky was too busy with work schedule and I was down with fever. 

The organizer called Second Combat to replace us and thought that we’d cancel the show. But we showed up after all and we played after all. I asked Kudin (Orkes Rakyat Tertindas) to back-up as the vocalist as he remembers most of the songs. The big boss of DuBook Press, Mutalib Uthman also joined us to sing along to the choruses of two songs; Petrol Petrol Petrol and Suara Kami.

We played six songs on that day. Other performers were SMXL, Petak Daud, Shh…Diam!, Second Combat, Iqbal M, Delude and others. They also had book launches of their new and old titles. Good event, thank you Mutalib Uthman, Lucious Maximus and Jarr Nadjuddin the crew of DuBook Press. They were having a big sale at 30% discount and invited other publishers, collectives, books and zines vendors too. 

Punk Rock Show and last minute Shah Alam Show

We played two shows back to back last weekend. Saturday night, 9th November it was at the KL's punk house Rumah Api. The turned up was quite impressive. If I'm not mistaken, I saw a lot of Indonesian punks showed up that night. All of them might be working around KL somewhere. We shared  the stage with two Singaporean acts; Iman's League and Rubix, and Malaysian bands; Soul Savior, Rotten Ruckus, The Mindless Show, Mr. Coffee. The gig ended late around 12.40 am.

There was a last-minute show held at Shah Alam on Sunday for Rubix and we were invited last minute after the show at Rumah Api. This is the bill... It's been a while we had back to back show!
Thanks to Rubix for asking us to play with them and trading CDs with us, Iman's League for trading CDs with us, to the organizers; Man Beranak, Azri Megi and Pidaoh...

Marjinal in KL show "Berseronok Tour" the report

The whole line-up showed up. We had 3 guitarists so Rizie and Nakid shared their duty and played half of the set for each of them. The gig started at 3.25 and we played around 5.45 pm. Played a mix of old and new songs plus covers; "Komunitas Bendera Hitam" as requested by Uncle Dol (The Exotica), "Real Enemy", "Marsinah (old version)" and the usual covers...

Around 400 kids turned up, the venue was packed and warm as hell. After Marjinal set, the whole floor was totally wet with sweat. Sang along and fists in the air all the way. Good Show...Thank you
all!
