Some Cool Stuff

Goethe Institut KL invites you to the Official Launch of "OUT OF BERLIN"...
Thu 27 Mar 2008, 8pm (damn, missed it...)

The Annexe Gallery
2nd Floor, Central Market Annexe, KL.
Officiated by Dr Andreas Radtke,
First Secretary, German Embassy

It began with a group of 10 foreigners who came together for 10 days in Berlin in September 2005; they were guests of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe Institute at the "Berlin Photography Festival 2005". They spontaneously decided to produce their own exhibition in a round-robin-way – each photographer shoots a picture, then passes it on to the next, who based on his interpretation of the previous picture, shoots another and passes that on, and so forth... The project now has 50 images from around the world!

Exhibition Details
Dates: Wed 19 Mar - Sun 6 Apr, 2008 (It's been on for a while, they informed me late)
Hours: 11am - 7pm daily (Closed on Mondays)
Admission: FREE!
Enquiries: 03 2070 1137

Album Launch
SAKRAT by MEOR

Indie music at its best :D~ One night of raw acoustic angst with guests Azmyl, SeiHon, Man Blues & Black

Meor, the dark knight of Malaysian folk, launches his new bleeding DIY home recorded album titled "Sakrat", based on poems by Amirul Fakir. The album was recorded in just 4 hours at Kamal Sabran's home studio in Ipoh on Feb 2008. Perak-born Meor has performed since 1984 and has had a major label recording release "Pesta Jiwa" (2000) before deciding to take the independent route and continued his craft as a busker in Kuala Lumpur. His critically acclaimed album "Itu Padang...Aku Disitu" (2003) is considered a classic in the non-mainstream music scene. The album is only RM10!

Dates: Sat 29 Mar, 2008
Hours: 8.30pm
Venue: Bau-bau Cafe, Central Market Annexe, KL
Admission: FREE!
