Happy New Year
KOMODO may be only 15 months old, but 2022 has seen us on a growth spurt. KOMODO's two star hosts (ahh what?) KATIE @katkills & JONGO @jongo_on_air can be heard as in-flight audio on over 20 airlines, cable networks, satellite and via apps and digital streams across Asia and the planet! We broadcast ONLY ASIAN independent and alternative, commercial-free, 24x364!
Landing into the KOMODO mailbox is a big pack of audio, art and info from Surabaya INDONESIA. Pop-punkers THE FLIN STONE @tft_official have had a guitar riff hanging around since 2016, and now it’s finally got its legs and become a single. “The Leaping Year” is about being isolated at home for the last two years. Like all great bands, they are now out and playing gigs like crazy. If ‘ya in East Java, then make sure you catch them live soon and meanwhile listen up for “The Leaping Year” spinning on KOMODO!
ELECTRA COMPLEX @electracomplex.official claim to be “The Most Underrated Band in THAILAND Which Playing Punk/Pop/Emo Music”. Well, KOMODO’s not going to argue that! We have been playing these guys for a few months, you will have heard “Sirens”, and now we have a fresh track dropping onto our turntables - “Follower” is spinning.
Malang, INDONESIA’s post-hardcore unit MIKA @mika.id have dropped over to the KOMODO studio their hot debut album “For Every Bump On The Road, For Every Storm In The Sky”. It’s delightful post-rock with math-rock melodies, modern hardcore melodic drum patterns and even some jazz notes dropped in - we LOVE it! KOMODO is going to play heaps of tracks off the album, lets’s get the ball rolling with “Losing Fight”.
ININGAO, KOMODO’s Mandarin language DJ based in Beijing spins heaps of alt and indie from CHINA in her program segments, but we rarely feature CHINESE artists on the KOMODO posters because few of them have active Instagram profiles. Well, we did find an unruly boy from Hangzhou GG龙虾 @gglongxia hanging around here! “Y2K Type Girl” is spinning - listen to it “when u r drinvin in a mood, hope u like it”.
KOMODO’s art is by Bali’s @rickybilly50. Download KOMODO’s posters each week from our website… www.radiokomodo.com
Happy New Year!
