RETRO9 CREW

Mathari



MATHARI-Bukan lagi sebuah name yang perlu dikatan baru dalam scene kita,Mathari telah ditubuhkan pada awal tahun 2000 dah 8 tahun pon bands nie yang dianggotai oleh:

Chad - Guitar
Wan - Bass
Man - Drum
Mat - Sampler
One - 1st Vox
Moon - 2nd Vox


Band ini juga berasal dari tempat yg same dengan band Bittersweet,Free Love,Muck dan Shizuka iaitu Ipoh,Perak.
Meraka datang dengan dua buah demo iaitu Mushahi dan
Travel Inside Anonymous.Cipataan pada lirik mereka juga berdasarkan hali band mereka sendiri dan yang selalunya
hanya nukilan imaginasi mereka sendiri.Lagu Mushahi
pernah dicartakan di X-Fresh Fm walaupun dikeluarkan
dari carta sebelum minikmati juara carta dari stesen radio tempatan itu.Jangan pulak rase pelik dan jelik kerana ahli
band ini banyak terpengaruh dengan cerita animasi seperti ultraman cosmos,teknologi dan porno adalah untuk hasil
nukilan muzik mereka.Walaupun mereka mempunyai kerjaya masing-masing hari-hari mereka tetap penuh dengan aktiviti untuk band meraka.Apa yang Mathari harapkan adalah mereka diberi peluang untuk bermain di gig-gig yang ade bukan kerana mengejar populariti ataw gilakan wang tetapi dengan adanya platform sebegini makan darah seni mereka tidak akan terkubur begitu sahaja.Jika ade mane-mane organizer yg ingin memberi peluang kepada Mathari bolehla contact mereka di mathari@gmail.com atau terus ke myspace mereka di www.myspace.com/mathari dan jgn lupa add mereka juga ok!
Disini mereka juga boleh mendownload lagu Mathari

The Liberals



The Liberals telah wujud pada lewat tahun 2002 oleh andax pada ketika itu .Mula bertapak dari negeri hujung tanah malaya iaitu Johor. Ketika itu hanya andax sebagai anggota tunggal didalam band ini, didalam jangka masa tiada ahli band yang lengkap The Liberals menggunakan khidmat sessionis dari kalangan rakan - rakan untuk persembahan sehinggalah pada pertengahan tahun 2006 dimana Andax pada masa itu telah berhijrah ke Kuala Lumpur dan telah mencari ahli band yang lengkap iaitu: Ari (gitar), Abby (bass), Andax (vocal) dan Irwan (drum).

Kami hanyalah generasi baru yang cuba menyambung semula apa yang telah ditinggalkan oleh band-band lama sebelum kami (The Splatters, The Bollocks, No Survivors, Carburetor Dung, Acid Rain , Dirty Dog, Psycho Sickness, Karatz dsb) untuk terus bernafas di muka bumi ini. Sumbangan mereka didalam scene ini amat berharga pada kami, dan kami cuba untuk meneruskan perjuangan mereka.

Muzik kami lebih kepada aliran hardcore punk dan rock, dan kami menggabungkannya untuk mencari identiti muzik kami tersendiri. Banyak rujukan muzik kami adalah daripada band-band seperti The Casualties, GBH, The Exploited dan Acid Rain. Demo pertama kami iaitu "Kita Kawan Bukan Lawan" telah siap dan diedarkan sejak 7 Julai 2007. Muzik kami bukan sahaja untuk mereka yang bergelar punx tetapi ia boleh di dedengari oleh sesiapa sahaja.

Kami bukan bersaing untuk mendapat nama yang besar, kami hanya mahu melangkah keluar dari dunia yang suka "mengecop" antara satu sama lain dan akhirnya jatuh. Kami bermain muzik ini dan kami tahu apa yang perlu kami lakukan. Jika kami mengejar glamor semata-mata, kami takkan buat muzik yang mak bapak kami sendiri tak nak dengar (apatah lagi awek-awek yang hot nak dengar haha!). Kami cuba menerapkan muzik yang bertenaga dan lirik yang membuka mata dan minda dengan terus menggunakan semangat DIY.

PUNK DULU KINI SELAMANYA!







There are 6 tracks inside this demo:
punks not a gangster
kita kawan bukan lawan
dont need your revolution
aku bukan rockstar
harian metro
fuck you trendy bastard

The Fridays


The Fridays,We're a nice and generous band...
Yeah, right. *sticks finger down throat*
You could add naive and potentially desperate to the list too, but to prove that we really are nice and generous (kalau boleh taknak la naive and potentially desperate sangat kot?), all our songs are fully DOWNLOADABLE. For no charge at all.
.
What people have said about The Fridays:-
"Gila lebat...macam bagus jer..." - Our friends

"...lu sek2 emola brader.boleh masuk geng2 The fridays la.hahahahaha....fuck emo..." - One of the little charmers at Valentine's@Havana. We find this remark very, well, amusing! I mean, us? Emo? LOL

"Ini band lima bintang!" - Fathullah Luqman Yusuf

Perhaps in my view The Fridays display music which represents the voice of triumphed rejects, out casted, those who live in the corner of the class, those who don't give a fuck about the system...average daily heroes facing the already fabricated, plastic and materialistic world." - Stalin Mark of UnderOneLabel Webzine

"What the fuck is this band hanging around in i-bands? They could be the next OAG..." - Siang, Umbrella Records exec, meaning NO disrespect at all for www.i-bands.net

"One of the many promising young bands on MySpace which have really snagged my ears. An almost perfect balance of great indie melodies, with some jangle and bits of punkish barre chords for a bit of dirt. Also blessed with confident singing and songwriting (a rare quality amongst new local bands)." - Joe Kidd, RICECOOKER

"Who the hell are these guys?" - Half the crowd at I-bands Music Showcase 2, Tunestone Studio Klang, Aug 2006



Here are the young men...
Why The Fridays?

The very essence of The Fridays as a name is simply an unassuming, practical name that works.

Coming to life out of sheer boredom in the somewhat transition periods of their lives, The Fridays, the main nucleus featuring socially stunted box bedroom rebel Acap F, local pinup boy Adib Azhari, the 'sixth Stroke' Syn Zulkifli (soon to leave in 2006 to attend college) and 'son of Mike Joyce' Abdul Azim, powered by bags and bags of Chilli Cheese Corntos and a steady diet of Yasmin Ahmad movies, started out playing the most idiotic and absurd rock & roll to ever come from an Ampang band. A few years down the line, nothing much has changed. The band still plays idiotic, absurd rock & roll with the addition of guitar anti-hero Yan Jimbit on guitars in place of Syn, mild mannered suburban punk rocker turned avantgarde minimalist Chey Bacteria in place of Azim (currently with pop combo Apple Juice). The latest additions to the band are the fashion-forward Jijot 'Kid Plekat' on guitars and the brooding M Said on synthesizers and keyboards, further beefing up (or messing up...whichever way you see it) the sound.

Basically the music can be described as bad-pop-music-played-by-easily-satisfied-simpletons, but indie pop/indie rock with punk rock leanings in all the right places is obviously a better description. Indie pop/indie rock laced with ironic optimism.

Free Love

Free Love started as a lo-fi band on the 1st of December 2002 in Ipoh, a small laid-back old town in Northwest Malaysia. Free Love originally began as a side-project band formed by Jay, Jay at that time was going through a hard time with his previous band that he played bass for, Bloodymary.

They classify their music as indie rock, lo-fi, noise pop, buzz pop, power pop, experimental, rock n' roll and whatever you want to call it. As long as you can dance and sing along with it.

For them, indie rock is about being who you are. Play what you want to play, as loud or as mellow as fuck, simple or sophisticated, sloppy or clean, fast or slow and do whatever you want to fucking do with yr songs. That's indie rock!

Love the music, leave yr bad attitude at home. Thank you.

Estrella

ESTRELLA

Formed in 2006, Estrella originally consisted of three members; Ashraf, Syariful Adzwan (Yob), and fronted by Liyana. In May 2006, the Troubaganger acoustic gig marked their first-ever performance, initially winning over the audience at cozy La Bodega KL. However, very soon after the three members were then reduced to the current two as Ashraf decided to leave the band for personal reasons

Armed with their guitars and heartfelt tunes, Liyana and Yob began circulating the local music scene with their own brand of acoustic music. Numerous open-mic sessions and gigs at notable shows around town followed suit; namely Moonshine, Troubadours, Doppelganger, and No Black Tie, and the band began to generate more attention for the duo from both the audience and the organizers.
















In June 2006, Estrella’s first single, ‘Take It Slow’ was featured in Troubadours’s “The Voices Next Door” compilation album, and the song was then taken by RedComm productions as part of the soundtrack for the SunSilk TV series Impian Illiyana which ran for 13 consecutive weeks. Gaining some pretty decent exposure in the media as well as the indie scene, friendships were also made with likeminded individuals and groups along the way, providing them with even more ideas and opportunity to grow musically

Having captured the attention of the Laguna Music masterminds, Estrella further evolved their genre from indie jazz to a slightly more complex sound, with dreamy and spacey after-effects. Under the suggestion of Laguna Music Producer, Jeffrey Little, the strummers now became a light band - with members, Shamsul Idzwan on percussions and Jeffrey Little, himself on drums.

Making rounds at gigs around town as a full band, Estrella’s biggest show yet was the ‘A Seven Collar Sonique Cinematique’ event in early 2007 as one of the opening acts for Seven Collar T-Shirt. In the following month, Estrella performed at the annual KL Sing Song 2007 show, alongside notable singer-songwriters like Azmyl Yunor, Pete Teo and Shanon Shah, which gave the band ample media exposure.

Having worked their way to perfecting their existing and new material, Estrella’s self-titled album was released on the 28th of December 2007. Following the release of the album, Estrella released two singles, ‘Ternyata’ & ‘Stay’, to reach-out to both the Malay & English markets.

Everyday musings and inward thoughts are the main elements in their music, using simplicity as the main staple. Being so new to the scene, Estrella is simply going with the flow, and taking in stride whatever it is that comes their way. Keep you ears peeled for this act, they’re bound to reach and capture the hearts of music-enthusiasts everywhere.

Komplot



Nie cket info pasal KOMPLOT yg diambil dari myspace dowang..

KOMPLOT is a coming together of creative young musicians from Malaysia, who aspire to bring the energy and authenticity back into rock music, as well as to breathe new life into the Malaysian rock arena. Currently consisting of five members, KOMPLOT are constantly experimenting with new ways of creating their ever-evolving dance-floor-friendly rock sound. Since their conception in 2006, KOMPLOT have captivated a growing number of listeners with their eclectic blend of styles of rock & roll, psychedelic funk, 70s groove, disco punk, metal and some jazz elements.














It all began from a casual dialogue between the group’s instigators, Amrud (guitarist) and Zac (singer), during one humble evening at a cafĂ© somewhere in downtown KL. This rendezvous took place in late 2004, a time when both of them could no longer contain their boredom towards the happenings in the local music scene. Alternating between sips of herbal tea and cigarette puffs, they caught themselves reminiscing about past experiences playing in different bands, and expressing their self-imposed frustrations toward the lopsided nature of the music industry. Zac and Amrud have known each other for some time, and what bonds them well was the fact that they share similar ideals and sentiments, as well as musical visions. The duo felt it was just the right time to finally start doing something new together. A new rock group became inevitable.


That evening ended with an agenda. 2005 turned out to be a long headhunting season for them as they went talent-scouting throughout the year to complete the group’s line-up. The first addition was the drummer Rizal, street name Chino, who used to play in Zac’s previous short-lived project band named Seemphoney. At such a young age, Chino possesses natural talent and carefree attitude, and his raw style of playing works well in KOMPLOT. The three of them went on without a bass player for a considerable amount of time. In spite of this, Amrud and Zac had begun writing materials and coming up with song ideas while constantly being on the lookout for a bass player.

It was sometime in mid 2006, when Hadi, a friend of the trio, expressed interest in filling in the position. Hadi, also known as Lizard, works as a sound engineer in a well-established professional recording studio. Not only he brings in a very much welcomed set of audio production skills, he also adds an interesting shade of color to the group, with his punk-oriented bass skills and the-devil-may-care attitude.

With four people in the line-up, the group was considered complete. Weekly rehearsals ensued and proved fruitful as they began to churn out new songs and juggle with different ideas. The music of KOMPLOT is basically shaped by each of the member’s vast array of musical inspirations, ranging from Black Sabbath to 60s Malay cult movie. They recorded their first song in early 2007, and named it ‘Konflik Pulau Panjang’, which later on known as just ‘Konflik’. The recording was raw and unpolished, but it was listenable. The song eventually caught many ears and the group began to draw attention.

It was during this time that Jeff came onboard unexpectedly, though welcomely, with his shiny saxophone. Zac got to know him at a show, and immediately imagined what a brass instrument would do to the music of KOMPLOT. Jeff nodded to Zac’s offer and became the youngest addition to the group. Jeff certainly widens the group’s musical spectrum with his jazz and funk influences. According to Amrud,

"the saxophone exerts certain organic feelings and emotions that simply can’t be achieved through just guitars and drums."

KOMPLOT became a quintet, and since then they had begun to actively rehearse and record whatever materials they’ve got. Having played in private parties,weird-weird shows, small gigs and distributed songs through the Internet, they slowly started to gain followers from different states in Malaysia. A few more shows are lined up for them throughout the second-half of 2007. It is in their current plan to release their material officially, and eventually breakout from the ‘cocoon’ and spread their music around the world.

DISKO TANPA RISIKO banner that is their shelter from this crazy world. What is the meaning of sanity when everything is just insane? Love. Gotta get it. Gotta dance. Gotta smile. Go be happy – this is DISKO TANPA RISIKO for all.It is an idea of having a day without no fuss.No harm , no drama , no chaos , no surprises. Just music, pure n clean. Move your body to this beats. A new tune for the right breeze. They go and flow for all music in Malaysia to an exploding point of just having fun without risks,and most of all they respect their seniors in the scene so much because to KOMPLOT there will never be KOMPLOT if it wasn’t for the seniors.

Long live MALAYSIA’S INDEPENDENT ROCK SCENE!!
