Zee Avi’s Ghostbird album is my favourite Malaysian album this year!
Her songs are perfect for holidays and happy times and places!
New music vid from Ghostbird – The Book of Morris Johnson
I was raving about how much i liked song,
and Didi piped back, “Of course you’d like it, you’re her target market.”
-_-
Nevertheless! If you haven’t heard Zee Avi’s songs before,
YOU SO SHOULD OKAY.
She’s made Malaysia proud by touring US extensively,
and will be touring Asia this November.
Note: There are changes regarding Zee Avi’s Homecoming Tour. The Penang show has been moved forward to the 18th and no longer the 19th of November.
The show in Kuching will not be in Damai Central as mentioned earlier, it has been moved to Dewan Undangan Negeri instead.
How fawsome is it!?
And when she flips the teddy bear… Fuyoooooooo
POW!

Want to make some KA-CHING!?
A very good friend of mine is looking for a lot of people who want to work part-time as freelancers.
Heck, *i* used to work for him when i was in college!
An agency called The Big Red Button is searching high and low for good-looking girls out there who want to earn extra bucks.
They also have some very consistent work which pays up to RM5,000 a month for 5 hour-a-day jobs.
Guys can also apply for part-time team leader positions to ferry good-looking women around.
Look for Natasha (016-2613208), or Neo (016-2613206)
or just email your profile to models@thebigredbutton.com.my and they will call you back.
It’s been a LONG time since i’ve gone for a Moonshine show
but made the effort last Thursday night
cos i really really wanted Clem to watch Az do his thang on the guitar.
Az Samad is such a wonder on his guitar.
The way he picks, strums and teases it gave me goosebumps of delight.
Even more so when he played my favourite song Lagu Royalti Belum Datang. I clapped so hard i had to remove my giant ring as not to hurt myself!
Clem and i had Kilkenny – 2 for rm39.
1 pint each turned into 3… -_-
We just ended up staying longer and longer cos all the music was so good!
Initial plan was to watch Az and go home cos i was a physical wreck.
My days now are so packed from Monday-Friday that by Thursday…
my battery needs some major recharging.
Gabba Gabba was up next and they rocked my Thursday like it was a Friday.
They made me think of TAG in the old days
Crazy dancin’ and head bangin’
I just visited their FB page, they’re not signed to a label?!
SOMEONE SIGN THEM UP
After Gabba Gabba, Clem and i thought OKAY we’re going to leave NOW. Then Reza told Clem that the next band is really good too
and Clem’s bromantically in love with Reza so i got hijacked to stay.
Bassment Syndicate is an instrumental funk band
who perform a lot more mature than they look.
I couldn’t believe i was hearing the stuff they played, in Laundry…
felt like they should be performing in a 5-star hotel.
After that Clem and i stayed for a couple of songs from Bihzhu (below)
before we left cos i was really about to pass out on the table from exhaustion.
I had such a GREAT TIME AT MOONSHINE.
I forgot how nice it is to go out for a drinking & music sess.
embrace Malaysian music
and feel really proud that we have a scene like this.
Thanks for giving me some happy battery energy to last me Friday
I’ve never seen La Bod ROCKING SO BAD EVA.
Guys were shouting and whistling, girls were screaming,
everyone was clapping and movin’.
I was actually kinda tired from waking up at 7am that day,
but the music just PUMPED me up and i stayed till…
well urm i don’t remember, but i got into bed at 2am.
Eddy Lim is lead singer.
We were so impressed at his skillz when he was blowing on the harmonica like a maniac.
Like, if Eddy can blow on the harmonica like that, then…(finish your own sentence)
Khai Bahar & Henry Tan pick and strum,
Ian Stewart beats the drums
and Jay Kughan badadadums. [source]
On a completely separate note,
this group sponsored by PayPal called The Promise have been making videos online,
to promote online safety and awareness.
My super talented friend Reza Salleh will be having a special performance end of this month!
“One of the top names in the Malaysia’s acoustic scene,
Reza Salleh has been called the quintessential singer-songwriter by his audience and peers alike,
a title he lives up to with his personal brand of alternative acoustic folk rock.
He is a central figure in Malaysia’s thriving singer-songwriter circuit
and is often seen in an intimate, solo acoustic format
or backed by a full-piece band.
His music, despite early influences by… the Seattle grunge scene and the vocal stylings of African-American artists,
is a diverse mix and is rarely limited by genre or tone.”
Guest performers stepping in on the same night include Az Samad, Liyana Fizi and Zalila Lee;
and the Choir of the Philharmonic Society of Selangor!
I’m really looking forward to it!
Nothing like a Monday night with music to pull one through the week!
