On Friday in Phnom Penh Sak-ti Tattoo Collective throw an opening party with M&J and Lola & the Zicos, while Brooke Palmer is at Botanico, Filipina duo Bulak Tala are at The Vine, and The Next Universe are at Meta House.  At Chew & Bash Mosaic featuring Mirasol Aguila and special guest Bennie BD Carter present a Whitney Houston tribute, while Mourin Terry is at Distortion Dive Bar and the blues of Chi-Town is at Oscar’s on the Corner.  In Kampot, Poca & the Sticky Tentacles are at Monkey Republic.
