Insanely Catchy and Poppy!
KOMODO broadcasts ONLY ASIAN ALTERNATIVE and INDEPENDENT commercial-free 24x7 365!
Last week we talked about the unique alt-rock genre that KOMODO (and our sister radio station @radiovolcano.bali) keeps stumbling across in INDONESIA. INDO-JAP! It’s INDONESIAN bands that play in JAPAN’s J-Rock or J-Pop style. Some of these bands sing in Japanese, but more typically they stick to English or Indonesian…
OUTSTEP @outstep_ out of Bogor, INDONESIA create punk Japanese style! Based on the oldskool punk tradition these guys break out some fresh magic with that Javanese twist of being insanely catchy and poppy! What’s not to love? This week KOMODO is featuring their latest single “Honey”. Over on their YouTube channel, we noticed they too share our disdain for Facebook and Twitter - ha, dudes you get bonus KOMODO points for those slap-downs!
Let’s talk about SONIC MAHA (AKA MAHA) @sonicmaha. Alas, it’s been a few years since these MALAYSIAN psychedelic garage dudes released anything. BUT they have been actively gigging around Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya lately, so it’s time to show them some luv. Even though we play them heaps, they have never been on a KOMODO poster before, so here we go, listen up, “Kill Them All”, is on high rotation.
VIETNAM’s insanely great ska-punkers JAIGON ORCHESTRA @jaigon.orchestra dropped their full-length “Kíp Đào Hoa” (The Peach Blossom Team) last year, and as soon as you see the album art you realise these dudes are going to be jokers. Hidden down towards the end of the album is the most amazing track “Trúc Mai (feat. tú tú)”, which proves they can be masters of multiple genres. “Trúc Mai” has stepped up and is now released as a single. It’s an indie masterpiece and yep, you guessed it, it’s playing!
ANEESHA DASS @aneesha.d is a passionate Delhi-based INDIAN creative that focuses on her voice as her primary instrument. Just out this week is a remix of her single “Just Want You” (remixed by @elastiles). We LOVE it so much, so let's get it spinning!
Our featured artists are all playing in KATIE’s @katkills & JONGO’s @jongo_on_air shows this week. PLUS, you can hear POSTER acts uninterrupted, back-to-back daily at 0600 & 1800 Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, 0330 & 1530 Delhi, and 0200 & 1400 Dubai.
KOMODO’s art is by Bali’s @rickybilly50. Download the posters each week from our website… www.radiokomodo.com
