Greetings:

After visiting Phnom Penh (twice), Kampot and Battambang, PlanB continue their Magical Mekong tour in Siem Reap this weekend with shows at at Laundry on Friday, Arin’s on Saturday, Pomme on Sunday.

And there’s more touring going on!  ZeitGeistS [here’s a taste], out of Thailand visit Phnom Penh this weekend for shows with Goldilocks Trio and Alli G at The Deck on Friday and on Saturday taking part in Underground Madness metal night with Doch Chkae, Nightmare AD, As The Heart Betrays and Radioactive Deathmonkey at Cloud.

If Indian classical music is more to your taste, try visiting duo Rhythm of Ecstasy on Thursday at Sra’Art Gallery and on Saturday at Sundance.

Elsewhere in Phnom Penh on Thursday, Gaby Sometime & Alli G are at Botanico, Big D Walker & George are at The Confidential, Stu Cottom is at Excelsior and The Extraordinary Chambers are at Oscar’s on the Corner.  In Siem Reap, Sokunthea & Giuliano at Harry’s & The Welsh Consulate and chamber music with Angkor Classique at Apsara Theatre.

On Friday in Phnom Penh, find Gaby & Mirasol at Craft, Christophe Horvath at The Box Office and Mary & Takeshi at Cloud, while Srey Ka & K’n’E are at Oscar’s on the Corner.   In Siem Reap, Trio Salazar are at Villa D and Chema & Rod are at Ambar.

On Saturday night in Phnom Penh The Busking Kings start early at Front Bar and Kiss Bang Bong at Seekers Spirits.  Gerard Evans & Gaby Courroux are at Au Marche and Back Street Bar host an African festival including live band.   The Kampot Playboys are at Meraki in Kampot, and in Siem Reap Drepana Arcuata are at Villa D and Jae Ann & Giuliano are at RoadHouse Bar & Grill.

On Sunday in Phnom Penh, Phil Javelle is holding a solo concert and jam as a fundraiser at The Confidential, while Green Leaf Motif are at The Deck, Sunday sessions at The Vine features Phil O’Flaherty and Cove Aaronoff, and the longrunning Sunday Sundowners open mic at Tacos Kokopelli is hosted by Scott Bywater.  Joe & the Jumping Jacks take it late at Oscar’s on the Corner.

Look out next month for shows in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap featuring Danish band Hexis and Sinners Turned Saints from Thailand as well as the local favourites.   Speaking of the metal trade, Nightmare AD have once again been written up in Asian metal online zine Unite Asia, with news of their upcoming album, Caricatures of a Delusion, with artwork and a new logo.  Shout out to Mia Priest for these fighting words:  “we will not stand idly by as the world burns; we are fighting back in our own ways, and this album is a reflection of these times.”

Department of Rattling the Can: Friends of LengPleng

We all need help shouldering the load – LengPleng is now offering (further) assistance in promoting live music throughout Cambodia.  Being a Friend of LengPleng will assist venues and musical acts in promoting direct to our growing readership: the committed live music audience.

Becoming a Friend of LengPleng will get your logo into the weekly email and onto the weekly wrap page, and your gig listings will automatically click through to a page on our website (i.e. a non-Facebook presence for those punters who don’t Facebook) for further information, photos, videos and so on.  As an example, our major supporter Oscar’s on the Corner is presented from this week on.  Individuals may also wish to nominate a business or band to support either anonymously or for the personal glory.

Your contributions will help us keep the lights on and upgrade the infrastructure to more reliable levels at LengPleng Towers – $25 for three months, $40 for six months and $75 for 12 months.  Everything else stays free.  Email gigs@lengpleng.com for further details.

Musicians, venues, punters:  if there are things you know that LengPleng should know, please tell us and we’ll do our best to tell the world.
See you around the traps.
