We're always on the lookout for talents. That's why our no audition policy has been well received. As one of the oldest open mic organisers in town, we push for bands and acoustic acts to have their voice heard. And it's paid off So, what are you waiting for? Have a band? Solo? Just come along and join us at our gigs at Palate Palette in Bukit Bintang KL once a month. It's the last Sunday of the month.

Photos from last gig:

Also, we run our Swap Meet Bazaars where bands and guests are invited to bring anything related to MUSIC or VIDEO GAMES to swap. If you bring 10 items, you get in for free. Otherwise, cover charge is RM10. For your 10 items, we'll pass you 10 Doppelganger dollars. Yeah! That's our own currency so you can go shopping Remember, it MUST be music or video games related. So you could bring your old PSP even if you wanted! Or a CD. A t-shirt from a concert. Or a book on music. Everything in working order, welcome! Band members have the option to bring ANYTHING since the item would already be 'music' related. Cheesh. Funny. Last month, band member from Shh...Diam! brought her Puma shoes! And her carpet! Carpet? Well, the band practices on it. Well... ok.
