Oh my! What an obvious title! But 'rapturous' is indeed an apt description for Green Room #5, which took place last Saturday. MORE
So much love, so much derision. Nothing inspires reactions quite like the Twilight saga. And now Twilight fever is about to reach its high again with the release of Twilight: Eclipse. MORE
In a month where sleeping patterns are deemed irrelevant (read: World Cup), getting any respectable football fan to forsake the Brazil vs. Portugal and the Spain vs. Chile match is no mean feat. Well, Thomas Wesley Pentz (better known as Diplo) managed to do just that as Major Lazer (missing in action is partner, Switch).
It’s rare we get foreign bands of this sort of calibre here, so 200 metalheads descended on One Café on the evening of 21 May to catch the Americans on the penultimate date of their Asian tour. MORE
It was a total geek fest last Saturday over at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Not only was the weekend dedicated to the PIKOM PC Fair, it also marked the debut of Video Games Live (VGL) in Malaysia.
I'm sure you F1 afficiandos got sunburned and sore during the recent F1 race at the Sepang Circuit, and headed down to the Helipad to watch Haiti's favorite son Wyclef Jean rip through an amazing set, and of course dance to the always stellar beats of Fatboy Slim. MORE

It was Wednesday, the middle of the work week, but that still didn’t deter some 11,000 rock fans from swarming the Singapore Indoor Stadium for Big Night Out 2010.

Most international acts don’t come to Malaysia twice. (Heck, most acts don’t come to Malaysia, period. But let’s not go there.) One could offer innumerable theories as to why this is, but it wouldn’t change the fact that those who do actually make a second or third stopover are either (a) very annoying (eg.
