Yep, it’s our Birthday!
It was one year ago that KATIE @katkillsdropped the needle into our first ever song “I’m a Fucking McDonald” and launched KOMODO! Yep, it’s our birthday, and KATIE & JONGO @jonathangoehr have been spinning 100% ASIAN ALTERNATIVE ever since!
Tune in to KOMODO anywhere, anytime, check the bio to find out how!
From INDONESIA’s East Borneo, YURIGARINS @yurigarins(named as a tribute to Yuri Gagarin the first human in space) have shot over to KOMODO their super danceable new EP “Andromeda”. All the tracks are getting a ride, let’s launch the mission with “Ruminate” and “Para Pemimpi” (Dreamers).
OK, if you are MALAYSIAN you might be thinking WTF? Why is the guy that won Jura Bintang (Star Champion) on RTM way back in 1978 on the KOMODO poster?… Arrr, NOPE we are not featuring THAT dude. The M.RIZAL we are talking about is @mrizalmustbedestroyed, another electro brainfart from the post-punk duo behind @katfeud and @defusionmusic. These PJ dudes just yesterday released their new single “Strange Girl”, so let’s get it spinning along with another of their monster tracks, “Desperate Times”.
The word "fervid" means intensely passionate to an excessive degree, and it perfectly describes the vibe of the FILIPINO band named after the word! FEVIDS @fervidsph initially got together because they wanted to play Beatles covers (!!!) but ended up also being influenced by the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joy Division and the Strokes. We have their fuzzy debut single “Sweet Tooth Achin’” spinning right now and next week a Bowiesk single called “Ziggy Wannabe” will drop, so listen up for that from July 9th!
OMG, we are only halfway through the year but WE THE PEOPLE @wtp.punkrawk out of Tangerang, INDONESIA have already dropped 3 smash singles! All share a common thread of anger and anxiety with current life. The favourite here in the studio is “Surat Kabar” (Newspaper) and it together with “Generasi” (Generation) and “ASAP” are on super high rotation on KOMODO, so ya not gonna be able to miss them!
