Greetings:
Here we are at September’s end – a deceptively quiet weekend with a bulging Coming Soon section (Geography of the Moon!) pointing to a packed October as we run down the hill to December.
Friday night in Phnom Penh you can find Arome Khmer at Craft, Scott Bywater at Botanico, Vanno at The Velvet Room and Greg Beshers at Little Susie. The Blue Souls Quintet are joined by a special guest opening band at Oscar’s on the Corner.
On Saturday in Phnom Penh Intan Andriana celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month at Lantern while duo MuXu are at Botanico. Samphors & Bunly are at The Velvet Room and Laro Bustaka Boys at Boran House, while Stiff Little Punks are followed by Montra at Oscar’s on the Corner. In Siem Reap, PMAC is at Old Palace Lane and Mikayla Gonzales is at JD’s.
