Best Electronic/Fusion Act (Solo/Group) — Dizzy & The?

we're pretty blown away that there's space for us in the JunkSounds '09 nomination category, especially since it's regional! Crazy stuff. Of course this means we're up against very, very solid and diverse acts (you think fusion food is confusing? mix all of us together yo), and even our latest music-crush, Tenderfist. Tenderfist rocked our world the last time we saw them, which happened to have us on the line-up as well. They don't even have a release yet but we're standing in line for a trade.

Also, an awesome tweeting byrd we know was there to check them out too, and turns out she's also in on the nominations! So that's Dizzy & The, sidebyside Arabyrd, and Tenderfist, together agaaaain.

And we haven't even talked about the ones from other countries yet...
So. Can we just say upfront that it really is awesome to be nominated?
Because it really is :)
Thanks Junk.



And I don't know about Alia, but I'm not voting for myself. Just seems weird.

TimeOut KL; interview now, show later

dizzy & the quick quick quickie!

We were just live on TV!
We really were!
But I was really nervous and kept staring away from the camera, so my mother at home thought I was reading something. Fail. My heart was in my throat.

As you saw in our previous post, we were at Cloth & Clef a while ago, and here's the podcast if you missed it. Thank you to our favorite soundman Mac for balancing the recordings so you guys won't go deaf listening to "Believe Me, I Saw It On The Internet", hehe.

tiga.
SSK's "RM - Rap Melayu" is out! And if you squint at the tracklisting, you'll see that we are guests on the 3rd track "Chenta", also featuring Sipanitera. If not for our awkward geekgirl charm (cough), do get the album; we're big fans of these guys, they're all sorts of awesome :D
(ps: my favorite track is ATFL)

cuatro.
We'll be on 8TV's Quickie at midnight tonight. So if you want to see us caked in makeup and cloaked in even more awkwardness, do tune in! For those outside Malaysia, we'll post up a link to the video if it does get uploaded.

We were almost going to be in Singapore this weekend for a show organized by the amazing Bani Haykal of B-Quartet and his girlfriend Ila, but we do sincerely apologize for not being able to make it, as there were delays and miscommunications. Fret not, however, I (The) will be there next weekend for the rescheduled show - but not to perform though - so say hi if you wanna :)
