Homegrown Space

Taking the stage at Homegrown Space last Saturday, was the awesome blues rock band Dr Ruzdy. Originally formed in 2008, the founding members were Iskandar and Eddy, who had previously played together in the band. Other members, Ira and Owen later joined in 2010 and Dr. Ruzdy started gigging across KL and Selangor.

Songs played were Don’t Go, Matahari and Blues Jiwa Kacau, which are original selections by the band, as well as an authentic cover of the song Kasih, originally sang by Indonesian legend Hetty Koes Endang. They were fun to watch and had great interaction with the crowd, which consisted of a good mix of young and old.

Also featured at the event were The Aces, who are currently exploring genres,ranging from Pop Rock to Ballad, Metal, Punk Rock, Rock and Emo Rock. Songs played were Jiwa Kacau, Usah and the unique Ekspresi Semberono.
Although it was a rather short show, by the sound of applause at the end of the showcase, it was evident that everyone left feeling entertained.
