EVENT on facebook: BLOC 520
December 3rd
Saturday, BEE Restaurant,
Jaya One, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
Please come and support this music and poetry event organised by Green
Grenades
We (Markiza & Peter Brown)
shall be singing our program of Green Songs
Also Impatient Sisters, An Honest Mistake and other
acts
7 pm until 10 pm
Come early and eat the tasty food at Bee Restaurant
Organizer : Green
Grenades.

Malaysia
TRIVIA: Why 520?
520nm is the wavelength of green light.
While most scientists are churning datas and facts to
prove that global warming is an urgent problem, Bloc 520 is here
to help you relate to M...other Nature.
It is an event where blocs of people come to
speak up for Mother Nature and share their thoughts and view via music
and poetry. Some may come to just have fun and some may tackle global
warming in a serious manner but this is essentially an event to
celebrate the art of nature & the nature of art.
You can check
out our performers here :
It was a difficult gig at first as
Mar's bass (keyboard D5) didn't work, although it had worked fine at
the sound check earlier. Something to do with aweak PA system and
the sound having been turned up much louder to cope with the noise
level - as The Bee was very crowded. An Honest Mistake had played
a good acoustic but rocking set. But our set gained momentum and
I managed to overcome the drawbacks and distractions of the
non-functioning keyboard. We were allowed to play for 45 minutes
as one band had dropped out, which really made up for everything, since
I always seem to get better as the set goes on, more confident and with
greater concentration, so I don't miss words , chords etc. Some
people described our set as "awesome" which is very nice to hear.
Mar banged the bass out on the piano as best she could, she was her
usual skillful and verbally fluent self, in between songs, singing and
playing well. Then after us came The Impatient Sisters and they
were truly awesome with a borrowed handsome cello player, and they had
pretty good sound. Lovely songs, beautiful three part harmony
vocals and glockenspeil and kazoo to add a new dimension to acoustic
music in Malaysia.
**************************************
ASWARA OPEN DAY FESTIVAL
26th November Saturday afternoon.
Many bands (including OAG, the Impatient Sisters,
Cats in Love
and of course US).
Good sound
system but NOT on stage. I couldn't hear my guitar at all and
thought we did terribly. But when I heard the sound on the video
it wasn't too bad. In fact the students who did the sound need to
be congratulated as they opened their ears and used them as a guide,
something most supposedly professional sound engineers seem incapable
of doing. As does Zul, the bassist in Cats who organised the
whole show and the nice caterers who made dielicious food some of which
we took home with us

We
(Markiza, Peter Hassan & Wong)
shall be performing Saturday
29th October 3 pm in the afternoon. More info to
come. Important
films on
environment, stalls offering green products, arts & crafts
well, we performed but I went
and forgot my words in the new song APOCALYPSE so we had to stop until
I gopt the opening line of the second verse. Apart from that the
sound was good and the many other acts on Saturday and Sunday were
enjoyable. Couple performed right at the end of the afternoon on
sunday and after a few of their songs the rain suddenly descended in
buckets so everyone got up on the stage while the band played Rock n
Roll, one of their most popular numbers

would love for you to be part of this special event!
Just for you, we will be running an art smorgasbord that you can really
sink your teeth into.
It starts off with a
fresh batch of brilliant and non-curated work from our filmmakers at Annexe Central Market on Friday

party cannot contain the awesomeness that you people have been to us,
we rock on to Saturday

winning indie filmmakers and an interactive arts bazaar, we are also
bringing you amazing live performances by local (and not-so-local)
musicians. Heck, we are even throwing a session of Poetry Slam because you lot have been slammin'!
Geddit? Slamming, slammin'?
So before we further
embarrass ourselves with incredibly cheesy puns,
Have a look here to check out our filmmaking workshop. Sometimes
awesomeness comes at the cost of space so please remember to sign up if
you want to guarantee yourself a spot!
Come check out our
arts bazaar where you can play giant board games, shop Pasar BazaaA and
take part in a (really) free market.
Keep yourself free for
performances by Azmyl Yunor, Carburetor Dung,
Couple, Ciplak, Markiza,
Peter Hassan & Wong, Mr Sterile Assembly
(NZ), Nao, Self-Conscious Acronym(ed) Man,
Reza Salleh and maybe Pete Teo!
Not to mention catching July's Poetry Slam featuring
reigning champion Jamal Raslan and guest poet Randall
Stephens! Oh and if you're interested to Slam... then you need
to be looking at this!
We would LOVE to see you
there so please bring your friends, your adik, your abang, your makcik,
your pakcik, your parents, your distant cousin from Rembau, your

Time
to get aggressive poets! The May Poetry Slam is next Saturday. Lighting
fast two rounded slam to get your heart racing. Register now if you
wanna compete. Last month Sheena took the RM100 first prize but
unfortunately is not around for the slam so is unable to feature. She
will, however be replaced by someone just as fantastico! Spread the
word my good people! It's gonna be bloody amazing so get
your asses down to The Bee!
A good one, brilliantly
organised by Elaine Foster while Kamariah did the calculations. I
sang a song (predictably Crazy Heart) although I'd rehearsed loads of
songs I have never sung, or hardly ever in pubic before (it's like
going pubic, you feel as exposed as if your pubics were exposed (which
is much worse in M'sia than it would be in Europe - nudity is almost de
rigeur at the Edinburgh Fest for instance). Anyway this has
nothing to do with the slam which was won deservedly by Jamal. I
even read three "poems" (an insult to the form) cos E wanted me to do
that. It was very crowded at The Bee with an appreciative
audience, not forgetting Elaine's excellent top speed poems (it's the
rap style these days)

Yeah
we did it in spite of lots of sound problems, due to our plug board
three pin plug having a loose wire but the kind engineers fixed it and
miraculopusly everything worked. It was hot on the lawn stage,
but no rain at that point (although there was some drizzle for later
acts - many fine acoustic outfits played very well including Tasha's
Ink, Min'z and Rendra's group with fine girl singer) Three songs with
Wong Lip Kee playing some delicious licks on a beatiful amp kindly
leant by Rama Lohan - thanks Wong and Lohan - it's good to have real
friends. Played Like a Polar Bear, Losing nature and
Refugee. The audience very cool, were enjoying it. Thanks
to those on the mailing list who turned up sometimes with their
families and young children. It was a great day, and thanks to
KLPAC and Ian and Rosheen for hosting this fabulous event
