With the exception of the electronic acts that have been performing in Zouk/Barsonic (Shinichi Osawa, Shitdisco, Gareth Pugh), there seemed to be quite a dearth of noteworthy alternative acts coming to KL this year. Two names I can think of were Battles and Jens Lekman.
Battles in KL
In the meantime, neighbour Singapore has been enjoying playing host to NIN and the Ed Banger Crue, among others. Singapore continues to attract quality acts next year (thanks to events like Mosaic Music Festival and Big Night Out), like The Killers, Cat Power, The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s , Green Day and Muse. Just name-dropping is enough to make me cry.
Still, fret not because in the coming weeks, it isn’t just the monsoon that is coming down hard on KL but also some top draw electronica acts. So electronic music fans, keep these dates free:
Hey boy. Hey girl. 2manyDJ's. Here we go!
It’s SOULWAX, baby! All events are happening at KL Live, Life Centre Jln Sultan Ismail. I really really hope to make it to at least one of these, especially 2manydjs. I am crazy about the Soulwax sound.
On the other hand, it’s all quiet on the live music front…
