hello there.
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.

Cock Say Cock Dang:
Slang Terengganu/Kelantan yang di English kan. Actually “koksay” and “kutdang” (or “ikut dang”).
explanation (tak silap saya lah)
“koksay” = tiada arah, tidak menentu, tiada aturan, also means, “careless”. Usually used by Kelantanese.
“kutdang” – “ikut dang” atau “ikut sempat”, almost the same with the above actually. More Terengganu than Kelantanse I think.
saya tak pernah tengok the band lagi. but they are continuing the tradition set by DPSA (Dok Pa’ka Sikit Arang).
still waiting for a black metal band with the name “GELAP GUGUT”
u can check out their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/bahangrambang
there are two tunes u can listen there. recorded at azzeem studio, KT.
one is about harian metro and the other one about the company their bassist is currently working at.
oh ya, the bassist is rudy brayok’s little brother lah.
Trivia time:
Rudy Brayok and his brother is like the continuation of the punk rock family lineage that goes back to the hey-days of Mengabang Telipot’s “logen” (as the center of punk rock universe) back in 1980-86!

First time aku datang gig dekat T’ganu and its worth the 9 hrs duduk dalam bus pergi KT and yeah, im suprised that Tganu scene was somehow, still living and breathing (hehe)
Kudos to FormatMasaDepan yang berani mengutarakan soal homophobic di Tganu (despite Tganu was more abt religious ppl blablabla) And thanks also to Young And Dangerous yang membicarakan soal free education (even ada sorang mamat ganu ni tetiba cakap “saya pemuda PAS”) takde kena mengena dgn free education i think (kalau salah tolong betulkan)
Good job Disarm!
Good job to Wak Kang (Lintang Pukang Distro) too for the gigs. Thanks for helding gig at my kampung, (yeap kuala ibai). I regret that i wasn’t able to go back and support the gig like i intended too since I’m stuck here in K-Hell with pile of works.
I heard a lot of stories from band-commitment to nazi-bastards threatening(?) or arguing with Yound and Dangerous band members. It’s a pity that ganu scene have some stupid clueless kids like those. But there are “nazi-punks” everywhere u go even in KL and even in JB right? Just that in Ganu, the nazis and the nazi-sympathys still come to gigs with all anti-nazi bands like this one for isntance.
A lot of the kids there don’t care about this ‘racist’ issue. Or any issue discussed in the national or international hc/punk scene. The kids were always just into music anyway. Well, not all. Only a little of them give a damn about the ideas of punks.
Kuala Terengganu might have the earliest punk scene in Malaysia. But it was always more towards music and fashion (from what i see and think). The DIY activities and punk ideas was not really there before. Not until 1998-99 where kids put out fanzines, organize gigs and do free food activity and stuff.
Hopefully when Plague of Happiness go there and play this June (?) they will give speech about anti-racism and anti-nazi to the kids again. More bands should discuss this issue in Terengganu since they’re all into music.
the only good nazi is nasi goreng.
awesome, not just Plague of Happiness should do that. every band should point out the racism issue everywhere and everytime. this racism thing is getting too much already. these fucking neo-nazi and malay-power fuckers should grow up and think. come on, it’s fucking 50 years already. get over it and live happily lah. same goes too fucking PEKIDA 3-line malay savior bastards. nuff said!
oh yeah, zillions of sorries to wak kang sebab TMS had to turn down the invitation to play for the gig. it was too late already. maybe next time ok!
on the streets saving the scene from the forces of evil PEKIDA
yeah along mokujin, bukan abang long pekida hahah
dont give them their freedom because they’re not going to give you yours – Ausrotten – Fuck Nazi Sympathy
