this is a zine, an archive, a blog, an event calendar, a place where rock’n’roll, especially of the fringe + underground, independent, DIY and related, came to be highlighted, promoted and documented.
running as a scene-blog since 2004, this website was operating as The Ricecooker Shop‘s portal from early 2007. TRS was a physical, brick’n’mortar music store first based at the Annexe, Central Market for more than three years, before moving on to two different locations in the city.
three years after the shop closed down in 2014, it morphed into a library/museum or an archive. we call this The Ricecooker Archives – Southeast Asian Rock’n’Roll Treasury (quite grand, we know).
The Ricecooker Archives have our own space at 84B, The Zhongshan Building, Jalan Rotan, Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur. here we collect, collate, clean-up, digitize, database and archive rock’n’roll artifacts from around the region. our aim is to preserve and to share it with the world.
note: the setting up our physical archives is still on-going, so those who wanna come meet and visit, do get in touch with us first. terima kasih.
Joe my friend, glad to hear that after seeing and knowing them, you seems to like the band.
Regarding their possible next show, I just got to confirmed that with Crux when they firstly arrived.
Nothing firm yet on another KL show (for the 19-20/7 weekend) even until their show at Awakening on 29/6.
Venue yet to be confirmed; 1 Cafe is fully booked until August, Paul Place is not an option
(details to this only to be disclosed personally) and MCPA is way too expensive (RM1200 rental, RM1200 for PA, RM800 for equipments). But on 29/6 itself, I did received a SMS from friends at Bacteria, Ipoh offering their place.
Crux were leaving to the Philippines that night so we make it transparent to Crux on what options that they had for 19/7 show.
Crux’s vocalist Anna mentioned to us that they would like play with Akta Angkasa if there’s gonna be another show on 19/7. Akta Angkasa will be heading down to Singapore to play a show with Graforlock on 19/7 with 3 other bands from here.
And on 20/7 Akta Angkasa will be in Johor Bahru to play what seems to be an ‘all-indie’ show.
So Crux are down with the option of playing with Akta Angkasa in Singapore on 19/7 (travelling to Singapore via train with people from 4 bands that they got to know personally here and to play with another touring band also seems to excites them). All of them gonna head up back to KL on 20/7 (after playing tourist for a bit) while Akta Angkasa got to play in JB before also heading home.
I guess that sum up what already planned for/by them on 19-20/7 weekend.
Again, for further explanation, please call me at 013-2497199.
