Nine Songs (For Like, Right Now)

...Because plugging just your own band all the time makes things pretty tasteless and boring. Aha, lighten up...

Google them or whatever. Check 'em out!



1. Milliz "Can't Get It Back" - The sound of music. One sings like the Pacific winds (Michelle) and the other (Ling) plays piano like ... how Jonny Greenwood plays guitar.



2. Quest of Quasar "Father of Lies" - The greatest punk rock band in these lands.



3. Yuna "Rocket" - Beautiful natural voice and wit. Her art is how not to be a tryhard. Just...nice.


4. Butterfingers "Joget Global" - One word: Malaysiana.


5. Mastodon "Capillarian Crest" - This is just sick. Ask our friends in Indka. Thanks Rudy, for the initial recommendation.


6. The Rebel Scum "Bakdatang" - Hip hop is kicking rock's ass. Damn son. We gotta get our shit together.


7. Love Me Butch "Divine" - Faster, stronger, more power. A lot more singing and wide-open melodies from Syarul. And Wing Meng shreds. Phuqin' A.


8. The Velvet Teen "Penicillin (It Doesn't Mean Much)" - Kudos to Lurks for spotting this influence in our new songs.


9. Stonebay's "New English Songs" - It appears our brothers have scrapped their all-Malay album and are back to them English songs. And they rock. Yeah, we've got to mix it up y'know?

Some New Vieuphoria

Some new moving pictures from our recent shows, courtesy of Stephie. Just run a Youtube search on "admonitio" (sorry I'm in a hurry...maybe I'll get around to embedding, maybe not). Just some notes on the songs then.


Rocking out at the Nokia Independent Artists' Club concert @ Zouk

"Angel Sestina" - a new favourite we've been playing

"Advertisement (Where the Hearts Grow)" - a song we've just got done mixing

"Dondang Kaseh Aurora" - a.k.a. "Aurora Blues" kept real

Plus some Acoustic Takes @ No Black Tie, May 2008

"To Be Continued" - an acoustic version of the last song on Karya

"Angel Sestina" - an acoustic version of a potential album track

Well, spot the chinks in the armoury. Uh...don't be too hard on us. And um, stay inspired...or we might just open for Daughtry or something.
