SLANK US TOUR
Karaterice is proud to present Slank US Tour 2008 in NYC. As a legendary biggest Indonesian rock band, this tour is to mark their US debut album release “Anthem For The Broken Hearted”. As a direct support act, their second time around this year, The Notorious MSG, will be bringing you ass-pummeling show once again to the Chinatown crowd. Topped with Brooklyn’s favorite band, Fan Tan, this show is a must-see for anyone who likes their bands sweet and sour.
This event will take place in Santos Party House (100 Lafayette St btw White & Walker St, NY 10003) on Sunday, November 2nd. Doors open @ 6pm. Show starts @ 6:30pm. All Ages. All Fun. Tickets are $14 and $18 on the day. They can be purchased at ticketweb or Kuta House Restaurant (65 Rivington, btw Allen & Eldridge)
There will be Singha beer special all night long and giveaways from Karaterice and Kuta House
They have sold more than 15 million records
They have performed around the world in front of millions of rabid fans
They have been treated like royalty in their home country
And chances are you’ve never heard of them.
That is about to change.
Introducing Kaka, Bimbim, Ridho, Abdee and Ivanka: the members of Slank, Indonesia’s biggest band.
Despite Slank’s immense popularity throughout much of the world, the band’s members are looking forward to their biggest challenge yet: breaking through in the United States. As Bimbim admits, Slank welcomes its return to the musical underground and is willing to do whatever it takes to be established in America, even if it means building its following one “Slanker” at a time. (If you have not already figured it out, a “Slanker” is a loyal Slank fan, the equivalent of a Grateful Dead “Deadhead.”)
Blasting out of the streets of Chinatown, The Notorious MSG are three renegade restaurant workers on a mission to rip you in half with their high-sodium beats. After years of struggling in kitchens, they found salvation in music, formed a band, and became a deep-fried explosion of old school hip hop, rock, and metal. Since their debut, The Notorious MSG’s received attention from sources including The New York Times, Blender, GQ Japan, MTV and MTV Asia, Time Out NY, BBC World Radio, URB, and Bust.
Fan-Tan formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It began as a duo project of Ryan Lee (vocals, guitar) and Kuki Kooks (drums) in the fall of 2006. They expanded the project into a complete band, recruiting Sandee Kooks (bass guitar) and Mike Walters (synthesizer). They relocated to New York City in 2007.
