Rafil Thazali aka Raffle Thazzle Photography
by Miranda Yeoh on Thursday, 2nd September 2010Photography has become so accessible in the past 20 years that anyone can pick up a digital camera, master Photoshop and declare themselves a professional photographer–in the loosest sense of the word. Although that means that during the past 6 years we’ve seen a diversity of camera enthusiasts popping up by the truckload, underneath all that “rubble” are diamonds in the rough just waiting to be discovered. One such remarkable talent is Rafil Thazali. Armed with a Canon 7D and a kit lens, he has proven that it isn’t always about the equipment you own but the talent and passion you possess [more »]
Interview: Snow Patrol
by Kevin Yeoh on Thursday, 2nd September 2010
Dundee, Scotland-formed band Snow Patrol hit it big time when they released that record-breaking ‘Chasing Cars’ single in 2006, which spent 90 weeks on the UK Top 75! With 6 albums under their sleeves, 5 Meteor Ireland Music Awards and 3 Brit Awards nominations, they are one of the many bands headlining Arthur’s Day 2010 in Cork, Dublin and Galway on 23 September. We caught up with Nathan Connolly and Paul Wilson from Snow Patrol 2 weeks ago for a chat. [more »]
OMP Entertainment
by Miranda Yeoh on Wednesday, 1st September 2010If you could call OMP Entertainment a family then heck, the talent is definitely in their genes. A joint venture between 2 of KL’s leading event companies, Obsession and Melting Pot Productions, OMP was founded by veterans of the local dance music scene Tengku Azran and Shazan Zainuddin. Together with other artists under their wing, they’re prime examples of people who turn a hobby into a full-fledged business through passion and perfection without compromising on values. [more »]
The Roots: How I Got Over (Def Jam)
by Kevin Yeoh on Wednesday, 1st September 2010The Roots celebrate the human spirit in this new, thoughtful release. Some might say that these Grammy Award winners have become popstars somewhat–following their stint on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon–and they could’ve gone down that road of recording an album about fame and the luxuries that come with it, but nah, not these urban poets.

The Bird And The Bee
by Miranda Yeoh on Wednesday, 1st September 2010There was a rise in happy synthpop/indie bands during its peak in 07/08 where you heard the best of them and the absolute corniest of the lot. This LA duo (Inara George and Greg Kurstin) of The Bird And The Bee have managed to prevail through those trying times (for our ears) and have come out tops with their happy, fuss free songs. If there was such thing as happiness in a single album then you will have to look no further that The Bird And The Bee’s latest cover album (try saying it in a single breath) Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates. Speaking of happy, it even shows in their awesome 60s style. [more »]
Sama-sama Guesthouse Alternative Art Festival @ Sama-sama Guesthouse + Karabau Rock Bar
by Ben Liew on Thursday, 26th August 2010KL has got sh!t on Malacca in terms of culture. Huge shopping malls, mega-clubs and phallic-shaped monuments are no compensation for lack of artistic expression or even interest. And this is probably why, if you ask most travelers (who are young and are okay with not showering everyday), they’d prefer somewhere like Jonker Street over Bukit Bintang. [more »]
