Introducing the Doppelganger Open Mic ‘flash gig’ series.
Promoter of grassroots acts in the Klang Valley, Doppelganger KL will organise a gig at Urban Attic KL, CapSquare on Thursday, 18 June 2009. This precedes Rockaway 2009 – slated to be one of the largest FREE rock concerts in the country two days later on 20 June 2009 at Capsquare where over 15 bands will take centrestage.
For those of you who’ve not had a chance to simply ‘rock up and perform’ at our DOPPELGANGER OPEN MIC slot, you can do that from midnight onwards. Just step up and we’d love to listen to you. Each brave new act will have 4 minutes and with audience encouragement, the performer may stay on. Beginning at 10.00pm, entrance is free and urban dwellers can enjoy performances by some of the best upcoming performers in the valley.
Doppelganger KL FLASH GIGS present…
FUNKCOUSTIC
It’s funk, its acoustic. Its FunkCoustic. Funkcoustic began 1st January 2009 with Anuar and Nabeel getting together to play funk, rock, alternative, blues etc.. It currently has 4 members; Anuar – Vocals/Lapsteel/Acoustic Guitar Nabeel – Percussions/Drums/Cajun Shamin – Electric Guitar Sid – MC/DJ who work together to fuze many different sounds using not-so-typical music instruments such as the lapsteel guitar (made famous by Ben Harper) and the Cajun (a percussion box).
RASHDAN HARITH
Rashdan Harith is a relative new comer to the singer/songwriter scene, started being involved in music since his tweens and has moved on from imagining he is AJ from Backstreetboys to thinking he is Hetfield from Metallica, at the age of 17 under the monicker of TRAK, Rashdan released an EP that no one knew about but sold roughly 500 copies with susbstantive downloads on the then active mp3.com. After graduating and now in full time employment as a management consultant, Rashdan still balances his passion for music in his “free” time. In recent months Rashdan has been busy recording his self titled debut EP coming out soon. He has also kept himself busy playing around town with the Bedroom Musician Series, Doppelganger KL @ The Marketplace and No Black Tie. Recently, Rashdan performed at Fete De La Musique, Urbanscapes, Bijou Bazaar, and Moonshine. Rashdan, backed up with a full band aims to entertain listeners with his brand of acoustic pleasantness… or so he thinks.
DZAMIRA
Dzamira is still relatively new to the scene but has performed numerous times nevertheless at gigs. She’s one to look out for!
