Reclaiming joy from the clutches of capitalism

ON January 4, I played my first show of the year in Batu Berendam, Malacca. I cherish the opportunity to perform outside of the Klang Valley (and tour when the occasion calls for it) – well, I have to make it happen as I am my own manager, tour manager, etc – which is part and parcel of the music culture and practice of the underground music community.

This January gig was a long time in the making. I had been requesting organiser friends for shows I could be a part of since sometime in July, but all the venues and events were fully booked all the way to the end of the year.
