Tuesday, 19th February 2008: Explosions in the Sky @ Ruums, KL
I know this will excite some people…
About a year or so ago, Soundscape Records brought the amazing Dirty Three to play Ruums KL and there was not that many people there. I thought that was rather pathetic. Dirty Three is an amazing band, maybe the closest thing you’ll ever experience a stellar and hugely important trio to ever come out of the Australian wastelands.
Now it’s a chance for you to make it right. Explosions in the Sky is another one of those must-see bands, that is if you are ever so slightly interested in excellent uncompromising fringe music. Granted they are not Godspeed and neither they are Sigur, but EITS is up there with the current greats.

i’m so there 😉
i like EITS but the ticket is way too expensive (for me, i think). twice the ticket price for the nofx show last year! urgh!
itu sebab lah
the organizer must have a good reason for it thou…
dah bersaving-saving ni
btw, no opening act?
fuckin hell EITS is gonna be here! i just cant wait!
I see no “sponsors” on this flyer here. Usually you will see the “Tiger Beer” logo with Soundscape Records gigs. Or maybe the guys are still looking for sponsors to alleviate the cost. Or maybe they can’t get the usual corporate sponsors, thus the high price of the tickets. I’m not sure really.
When I was in Melbourne a few years ago, I went to see Lee Perry & Mad Professor at The Corner, and I also went to see The Violent Femmes in Sydney much later, and the ticket was AUD35, which is approx. RM100. So I guess, that’s the range of price you pay to see acts of such repute.
explosions in the sky finally dekat malaysia.but how i wish the ticket price is CHEEEAPER ! aku budak sekolah sememangnya pening kepala nk carik 110bucks tuh.
yeah, the gig in perth (http://www.perthfestival.com.au/becksmusicbox/explosions/) would also cost AUD35. jd mmg itu rate dia kot. tambah pula yg ini tanpa “sponsor”. maybe charges courier equipment dorang sume ni mahal kot 🙂
i’d pay rm150 to see violent femmes!
eits pun menarik…hmmm…tp tgh pokai.
kene pi ke???erm…duk luar pun takpe…tak pi pun takpe kot…nothin spesial…huargh…
nothing special…
just intense beautiful and sincere music
err epit,those intense beautiful and sincere music lah tht makes EITS special 🙂
err epit,those intense beautiful and sincere music lah tht makes EITS special 🙂
itulah nizang aku juga pening kepala nk carik duit banyak gitu.hoo nampaknya bekerja lah aku ch new year ni (baru plan nk lepak je) hehe.
ps.err yg free standing tu ape?(baru perasan) free kalau kita diri ke?
free standing tu maksudnya kita boleh dok kat mana jea pon at the show. there’s no VIP stands, grandstand, or anything like that. i think
please please please do not, go ooo ooo…
eh i don’t mean ‘don’t go to this concert’, just singing to violent femmes song.
nizang..nizang..
wakakaka…
yup, free standing tu maksudnya kita blh berdiri di mana2 pun. cuma maybe atas stage organizer tak bg la kan ;p
oh ya, if anyone rasa nothing special psl band @ gig (bukan posting ni aje. mana2 pun) tak perlu lah ckp out loud sbb “boleh” di salah tafsir bunyi semacam kita memperleceh minat orang lain indirectly smcm ckp (minat) kita bagus sgt. haha…
unless ada strong reason spt the band being an arsehole (x kisah la ko punk,hc,indie,blablabla labeling bullcrap) ke, sexist, racist, fascist, homophobic etc (dgn fakta lah) yg kita nk bgtau org lain bahawa that band doesn’t deserve the support maka di persilakan lah.
regards
ohhh then wht for the 110 bucks kalau kita still boleh masuk free?
di sini, free = bebas bukannya percuma cik adik oii
hehe
haha maaflah ye abang-abang semua.adik tak tau ni 😀 anybody planning to crash the partaaaayy ?? (sila sebut dengan nada paling sarcastic sekali)
did anybody get me wrong?
“NOTHING SPECIAL” is meant to be sarcastic…
sekian terima kasih
