Begin your weekend by getting turnt up with Singapore’s Shigga Shay at Rootz Club KL, then pay tribute to David Bowie at The Bee or celebrate Vans’ 50 years’ worth of heritage at The Row. Hankering for something less loud? Check out a music-themed film screening at Lostgens or a food festival at Dataran Medan Pasar. If you manage to survive the first two days – end it all with Pisco’s Lazy Sunday, which happens to coincide with the International Day of Happiness. Perfect.

Buang Bayi by Shika

Artist Shika (Shieko Reto) has created a safe haven for her artwork that controversially compares artists throwing away their art to babies being dumped. Everyone is welcome to the exhibition, and is encouraged to express themselves in her sanctuary, so come and get your portrait drawn as the opposite gender (or with no gender at all) by the star herself or watch the Japanese movies that will be playing in the background. Interesting workshops are also offered such as drawing within half a minute, making zines, and composing music. Don’t be too wary of the subject matter – though a significant portion of Shika’s output over the years have been dealing with heavy subjects; her approach has been known to be warm and childlike in aesthetic.

Date Till Sunday 20 March ’16
Time 11am

Worst Behaviour presents Nash D & Shigga Shay (SG)

Along with homie Nash D, Grizzle Grind Crew (GGC) head honcho Shigga Shay is in town to turnt up the crowd at Rootz Club KL. Any Rootz regular would know, their Worst Behaviour club night has lived up to the impropriety suggested in its namesake time after time, so expect that to be maximised once Shigga drops GGC’s anthem ‘Last Warning’. Supported by Biggie, Ray Rox, and hyped by Mr. Dan.

Time 10pm
Venue Rootz Club KL

Beatnation Pres. Felix Zenger (FIN)

It’s not everyday that we hear Pharrell Williams co-signing a beatboxer, so when he does, we have to pay attention because Pharrell knows his shit. He sees and hears things. Felix Zenger is a Finnish beatboxer whom has received praises from numerous artistes regarding his skills and art form, the most notable comment being from Pharrell who had said, “I’m sorry, but you’re one of the best that ever did it.” Lucky for skeptics, Felix will be heading to our city, so we can put Pharrell’s statements to the test although we’re sure it’s not going to be short of entertaining – it’s fun to be cynical occasionally. Besides performing, Felix is also hosting a workshop where he’ll share tips and tricks to improve one’s beatboxing skills and possibly a live jamming session too. Don’t miss out on the learning experience, more details on the class here.

A David Bowie Tribute at The Bee

So put on your red shoes and dance the blues.

Malones ‘Be Irish for a Day’ St. Patrick’s Party

A pint of beer will be RM15 all night long, and if you happen to be one of the first 100 Grab users, your first cold pint will be just RM5! There will also be performances of both musical and comedic variety.
