It's no lie-- we've always loved Japan. Which is why we are super happy about being in abcdefg*record's compilation Merci Magazine with 10 other lovely bands! The CD also comes with a cute lil magazine digest on arts and nom nom noms.
Preorder starts now, and Merci Magazine #003 will soon be available at Amazon, HMV and Tower Records in Japan.
KONICHIWAAAAAAAAA! Take a listen to the sampler here:
This is how Christmas sounds like in our heads: KGB spies, exotic lands, Morse code signals, and a clever little wife.
The amazing Lobak made us another video!! YAHUUUUUUUUU!
A belated post! Can't hear much in this video but wethinks our recorders were probably loud enough. Speaking of recorders, I remember a teacher in my primary school that used to punish pupils who forgot to bring their recorders by asking the student to sit under the desk, hold a pencil and pretend to play it like a recorder. Ahhhh, Convent schools! HEHE.
Lots of green kaya hugs,
Alaling
Hai kawan-kawan!
Semoga saudara dan saudari semua berkhabar baik.
Harini I terjumpa bideo persembahan "Kali Pertama" oleh Alaling dan The Boon, yang telah dirakamkan di majlis perkahwinan kawan karib kita, Adlin dan Ayu. Oh Adlin, upload tapi tak britau. Siap kau.
Sebelum mengakhiri episod ini, ingin ku sampaikan sebuah puisi dari hati untuk pasangan baru dan romantis, Ayu dan Adlin.
Betapa indah nian perkahwinan Ayu dan Adlin,
Bagai harijadi pertama di sebalik lilin
Apa yang I cakapkan ni I pun tak reti
Okeh lah, skarang I pergi makan roti.
Sekian, jumpa lagi di lain lembaran!
Yang benar, adil dan saksama, dengan gaya, mutu dan keunggulan;
Alaling
To all ATKK fans out there, we're really sorry to disappoint that this isn't a video of ATKK in action, but rather a dedication to Alaling from Obvious Girl + The Like Duhs.
You see, Obvious Girl (also known as BangMang also known as Lady Boss) hijacked The Kaya Koks for this special project. We called it Project Birthday Song because why? Because it's Alalling's birthday today, that's why! DUHH!!
So to our dearestest Alaling, here's wishing you a very, very, fantabulous, scrumptious, wonderfulestest birthday!! May all your ice cream dreams come true! We iz loving you many manyyyyyyyy!!!
SMUACKS!!
Obvious Girl + The Like Duhs
(Or better known as BangMang + The Kaya Koks!)

sorry for being so quiet lately, but we promise the EP is about to be birthed!!! can you feel our pregger painss... can youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu??!!!!!
*prot*
hehe... love you all! :-)
a
I know, I know, where did the updates go??? T_T Sorry sorry...
Anyway, if anyone's still out there reading this, we've got 2 more songs to go before the EP is finished! Hurrah!
So far the tracklisting includes (not in order):
Liberated,
Guudmen,
Oceans,
Hate It,
First Time.
We just recorded the vocals for Liberated yesterday. Admittedly, sometimes I feel a bit bored with singing my old songs over and over again (Liberated is about 2 years old I think), but, the way Boon arranged it, he actually made me fall in love with the song again.
So therefore, I would like to dedicate a piktur to him. ATKK is so lucky to have you Boon Kok!
Oh, we'll be playing an acoustic set at Lepaq Cafe tonight! Details here:
Venue: Lepaq Cafe @ Desa Sri Hartamas
Time: 8.30pm onwards
Also playing are Brainhead, Awandband, and Senoritas!
Entry is by donation
Heard the place is pretty cozy, haven't been there before, but definitely looking forward to it :-) Do come if you're free k!
Lotsa love and choco pies,
Alaling
"Imagine you're riding a bicycle on a sunny afternoon, and you see an ice cream truck nearby, then doggies are running beside you, and it's a breezy, carefree day..."
That's what SJ kept telling me when we were recording the vocals. It was pretty difficult at first because the recording booth was cold, it's not really the sunniest place, so I closed my eyes real tight, tied my sweater over my cans OVER my head (ok not really sure how that helped but it kinda did I think, maybe it was the eskimo look ok wait that doesn't make any sense oh well), and just tried as hard as I could to imagine what it'll feel like to suddenly discover that you like that someone on a sunny afternoon.
And we were so happy with the outcome! SJ is an amazing producer. Serious.
Plus, I found this amazingly lush photostream on Flickr which I think best describes Oceans visually.
Gorgeous, isn't it? Credits to peace&love; click for more!
Drop by our myspace to listen to the preview of Oceans. It's an unfinished track, but we're excited to share it with you at this point!
"First time" ironing? Let us teach you how!!
Okay. Bad lesson, we know. Haha!
Okay. I think we'll be moving our blog here instead of at Myspace :-)
The other day someone mentioned, "Wow, this pop is pretty ambitious" (in reference to Malajube, whose Takeaway Show sessions I absolutely adore).
We want to be ambitious with our pop too. Okay, I'm not promising a blow you away moment when you pop our EP into your CD player, but yeah we'd like to at least try. hehe.
Working on our EP now, which is scheduled for release on end of August (if we push the deadline further we'll be pushing daisies soon).
If you like any of our songs and think it should be on the EP, let us know!
We want things to happen. Watch this space!!! *cue Human League's Together In Electric Dreams*
