Seriously, I know nuts about local music industry and local independent artists. Malaysia just haven reach the stage where the authorities will acknowledge the other genre of music around the world, Malaysia is still in the invisible box closing itself and its still very hard to find a living being a musician/artist in Malaysia. Yes there're examples of successful ones, but how many there are?
However, Nokia Malaysia have recognize the talents in Malaysia and made the step to help create a platform for these independent artists to be more well known among music lovers in Malaysia as well as in the International level through the internet.
End of last year, 2007 Nokia Malaysia launched IAC(Independent Artist Club) and since then, more than 70 local independent acts have joined in and upload their music/songs to the IAC platform.
Recently, Nokia Malaysia even have this event specially catered for these local talents and of course made it available for local music lovers to support their favourite local musicians/artists.

I have no idea on who's who in most pictures above, most of the time on that day, i was in Terrace Bar as i enjoy myself there more. That is why i kind of know who's the people in the pictures posted under Terrace Bar.
As i've say before in my previous post, there wasn't REALLY many people there. That is because it is not MEANT to be BIG. This event is meant to be comfortable(as in not too crowded where everyone become sardines) and it is an opportunity for real music lover to come appreciate local talents as well as have closer contact with them. Personally i did enjoy myself very much. =)
There'll be another post within this week on this event with more pictures OF me and other bloggers there + what we did the whole day.
