Kah-Roe-Shi/Pazahora split 7" reviewed by MRR -
I had never heard of these bands before and this was an interesting introduction. Very cool layout, awesome artwork that’s hard not to notice. PAZAHORA, from Singapore, plays fairly straight up crustcore with some old grind influences and has pretty ripping male/female vocals. At times they remind me of DISRUPT and DESTROY. KAH-ROE-SHI is much heavier and denser, and has melodic elements but falls in the dark crust category to my ears, which is awesome because I love it! KAH-ROE-SHI is from Malaysia. Awesome split release on Singapore and American labels! Only 100 copies in the US, so act fast! (NM) - MRR #301

What is Profane Existence?
The Profane Existence Collective was formed in 1989 by a small group of young people with the common goal of contributing to build a stronger and more politically active punk rock movement. As a collective, we are a small group of individuals that have joined together our ideas and abilities to work on numerous projects as part of a single entity, in an overall struggle against tyranny and oppression. Everyone likes to pigeonhole and this is how we prefer to look at ourselves: Our politics are anti-state and anti-oppression (anarchist if you prefer) and our community is from within the DIY ("Do It Yourself") punk rock movement
Profane Existence Magazine
The most visible aspect of our work is the magazine "Profane Existence" which we have published over 40 issues since the collective first came together. The goal of our magazine is to spread communication of ideas and information, as well as help build a tighter, more politically active movement on an international level. The magazine is distributed worldwide through punk and underground channels, with a circulation of over 20,000 copies per issue, and is enjoyed not only by punks, but other people who are looking for alternative sources of news and information.

You must know by now that the release party got cancelled last minute due to the problem with the Annexe management not allowing anymore shows to be held at their venue.
But still our cds are ready now, so do some patches, buttons and stickers. So now where to get it? Watch out for the label/distro/record store list in the next post!
ANNEXE NO MORE?
I know many of you are wondering about what gonna happen with the shows at the annexe. Sorry for going off on this tour without settling the matter. It was quite a hectic time all of us. But i will try to save all the shows booked when I get back. Sabar ya! - Joe & The Dung.
This is latest hit we got regarding our 'suddenly-uncertain' next gig aka cd/7" release party at the 'used to be a democratic space' Annexe, Central Market this Wesak Day@Monday, 19/05. However if Joe Kidd couldnt work it out with the management, Cellulite Records might settled with Noisy Studio in Ampang.
A bummer we know! But I guess what doesnt kill us only gonna makes us stronger. But we're really worried about Ricecooker and Bau-Bau Cafe (runs by Food Not Bombs volunteers). What will the future holds for them?

ps; Now we're looking for a new venue for Crux, Cut Sick, Margrudergrind, Conquest For Death and KLFemme Fest, you got any ideas?
