June Gloom
KOMODO broadcasts ONLY ASIAN ALTERNATIVE and INDEPENDENT commercial-free 24x7 365! This week we have fresh stuff from SINGAPORE, MAKASSAR, BEIJING, and MANADO.
Laws governing the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals in Asia are multifaceted. In at least twenty nations across Asia, same-sex sexual activity is outlawed. In Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen homosexual activity is punishable by death…
PAPER CITIZEN @papercitizen is the musical project of SINGAPOREAN singer-songwriter, violinist, guitarist, and producer Claire Gohst. Claire was kicked out of home when her family learned she was a lesbian. This weekend as part of LGBT Pride Month, Clare is performing at the June Gloom Festival @junegloomla in Los Angeles. If you can’t make it to the festival, catch Clare on KOMODO. Listen up for “Clockwork Reasons”, “Heart on Fire”, “Lifeline”, “Over the Moon”, “Scratching the Surface” and “Wandering Gohst”, all are spinning this week on KOMODO!
Incentive Dry 干诱因 @incentivedry is a 4-piece alternative unit from Beijing, China. They have just dropped their epic album “Stomachville”, a metaphor for the current Chinese social landscape that digests, dissolves, and excretes "common sense". Offering traces of shoegaze, alt-rock, industrial, IDM, jazz, noise, and ambient KOMODO is going to play all 11 tracks over the next few months - this week we are featuring “Medinlla”.
Our mailbox has received two music bundles from Sulawesi INDONESIA...
DVY @dvy_music is a musical duo from MAKASSAR! Jasmine Vocal/Bass/Guitar/Synth and Leca Drums/Sequencers are no strangers to KOMODO as we have been playing their singles “Lifeless Land” & “Here” and now we are going to be spinning all five tracks off their new EP “Same As You” over the next few months. Let’s kick it all off this week with “Spell”, which explores the downsides of overthinking!
Also from SULAWESI is CRUSHING GRIEF @ccrushing.grieff outa MANADO. The guys are smashing out their new single “Hard Rain”, which is one of four tracks from their just dropped EP “When The Eyes Are Closed”. It’s edgy pop-punk, - hey, get up, get dancing!
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
