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.

Transport advisory for Studio,Shop.Space! Noise Concerto on Sat 1 Aug
Due to the road blocks by the police in conjunction with the Anti-ISA & Pro-ISA demonstrations tomorrow, we advise you to consider alternative transportation if you plan to come to The Annexe Gallery for the gig Noise Concerto.
Basically Anti-ISA will be by Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) and Pro-ISA is by Pewaris. According to the Suara Keadilan report:
“GMI represents more than 83 NGOs, political parties, student bodies, women‚Äôs rights groups and human rights organisations. Pewaris represents 12 Malay NGOs.
Supporters of GMI will be wearing either black or red while Pewaris members plan to wear white.
GMI will begin its procession at 2pm from three locations – Sogo shopping complex, Masjid Jamek and Masjid Negara.
Pewaris will start at Pasar Seni, Masjid Negara and Padang Merbok in Kuala Lumpur before walking to Dataran Merdeka at 2pm.
Both groups are due to march to the Istana Negara, where they plan to hand their respective memorandums to the King. It is during this last part of the march that they may overlap and clash.”
You are advised to take the LRT train to either the Pasar Seni station — we suspect Masjid Jamek station will be closed. But even safer to take the Komuter to KTM station. It is just a 10 mins walk to The annexe Gallery.
If you have to drive, best to park at a nearby station and take the train. Otherwise you will surely be caught in the massive traffic jams, if not caused by police road blocks, then by the demonstrators themselves.
See you at The Annexe Gallery, where we are always Anti-Road Blocks and Pro-Music!
