26th August:
PROJECT OMG! SESSION 2



Featuring:

Gary Ooi
Graphic designer with both hands in theatrical arts and poetry. He draws inspiration
from his not-so-normal life. This will be his first solo attempt.

Priya K.
Self-declared selfish, untalented dreamer who wishes she could change the world.
An extremely witty, thought-provoking and humorous writer (depending on how
you see it) and a part-time poet.

Jamal Raslan
Jamal returns to the scene with more poetry in our bahasa kebangsaan.

Raymond Yong & Grace Tham
A collaboration of sorts. Raymond is an accomplished musician and singer-songwriter
who will be performing with Grace, another lass with artistic tendencies of the same kind.

Azmyl Yunor
Azmyl Yunor’s music evokes the working class down-to-earth folkiness of American
singer songwriter heroes such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young, but imbues it with his own brand
of infectious humour and colour. A fiercely independent artiste, the multi-genre and
multi-instrumental Yunor has performed and released recordings as a solo artiste and as a
member of The Maharajah Commission, Ben’s Bitches and Thunder Coffee Club. He has also
organised various gigs including the 'Sapu-Sapu' series which featured various local talents.

Lee & Gomez
Gomez & Lee are a couple of disillusioned wannabe poets and frustrated ex-smokers who
write and perform songs when they're not wrestling with life's great, unanswered questions
(like "What brand of disposable diapers is the best value for money?"). In an alternate, infinitely
more pompous and pretentious reality they are members of snob-rock outfit, Mojo Pin. Their
influences (in and out of MP) include Joe Queenan, Blues Clues, David Bowie and Van Morrison.
They are always, always tired and seldom happy.


All happening at-

The Food Foundry, BG-6 Happy Mansion, Jalan 17/13, PJ.
