A salute to a friend
Our good friend from the A-Level years, DINO, who works in London, went back to Bolehland for a short festive holiday recently.  For old time sake, we went for a jam session at Black Widow, a studio where we frequently hang-out during the black A-Level days back in the late 90s.
This flyer was handed-out to all the participants of the ongoing UMNO assembly:

The reunion showcased members of the 'most-beloved-but-now-defunct' A-Levels punkrock bands, MAMAK(vocals&guitar) and DINO himself(bass) of Psycho Duke with AKHTAR(guitar) of SBP.  Rounding up the quartet was JOKER as the guest drummer, back hitting the skins after a 4-year(!) hiatus.
 
Back then, both Psycho Duke and SBP has released a demo and contributed a song each in the 'critically-acclaimed' Shah Alam Underground Scene Complilation...but then Siti Nurhaliza came to prominent.  She whitewashed the music scene. Everyone else in the industry was irrelevant. DINO told me that they were xtremely honoured to cover the Fiona song.  We agreed that 4U2C is the most talented band Bolehland has ever produced, maybe on par with kumpulan IMPRESSION.
They went on to cover 'Roots Radical', a song by an unknown Californian East-Bay band RANCID.

Instead of the customary Lemang, Ketupat or Rendang, host SEDI and SHILA (and their little princess QISTINA BATRISYIA) threw a twist to the Eid Celebration by generously threating a group of hungry, young (and horny?)  men to a BBQ party.

A nite of great food, supplemented by a healthy forum on current affairs; from the hottest tube on the net, the wonderful world of 3gps to free lesson on Indonesian terms
