Stoned Revivals (Sg)
The first band from abroad to be featured on the show, the Stoned Revivals are considered veterans in the local scene (here and in Singapore, which is where they're from), having been around for more then 10 years or so. I personally have never had the priviledge to see them live, but I have been listening to live samples of their stuff in my car for the past few months. They sound like a live jazz band that threw the rule book out the window, injected with lots of funked up riffs and indie pop overtones. Not to be missed.


Sei Hon
He's one of the Troubadours, a band of creative-muso misfits dedicated to the cultivation of the local indie scene. Together they're responsible for KL Sing Song, a singer-songwriter festival, monthly acoustic showcase and open mic Troubadours and the recently released Voices From Next Door compilation. He's also a singer-songwriter loaded with heaps of radio friendly material, centered mostly on love, life and living, the staple diet for most of us singer-songwriters.


Lightcraft
The youngest act in the line-up, these boys were roped in to replace Flatline, who couldn't make it due to unforseen circumstances. Compromising of 6 students, make melancholic, catchy tunes that are mostly influenced by british indie bands (and some non-brit indie bands as well).They've just released their EP, entitled Modern Seasons and you can find our more about them at here.


Rhapsody
A favorite at Moonshine, the girls are back with their blend of pop jazz and soul. Playing mostly at local music venue No Black Tie these days, they've been making their rounds in KL with the KLue Anniversary Party being their most recent appearance. And to think they only started gigging properly last november. They've got a single out which has been floating around XFresh FM and their recent induction of sessionists to complement their already tight set up has doen them wonders. More here.


Tragicomedy
A project band set-up by singer-songwriter Amitabh Chandra, their motive (according to their bio) is to explore catchy hook-laden pop-rock radio friendly music and
attempt to bring it to the masses. It has worked to a certain extent with
singles "Never Lonely" and "Great New Life" being played countless number of
times on Hitz.fm, Xfresh.fm and Red.fm over the past two years.

They've got a full length album out, entitled "Songs That Won't Sell" which was released in 2005. More here.
