I just realized, here in KL, the gigs stop during puasa and Hari Raya... but not for any other festivals. Gigs should be put on hold during all festivals, including Deepavali and Chinese New Year, don't you think? I mean, it shouldn't be ethnocentric.
They only stop temporarily during Hari Raya/Puasa, but why not for other festivals? This way, it shows that NO ONE will be missing out on gigs. And that even the music scene supports the idea of unity within music - age, gender, race... all that.
It's a short post from me, but hopefully a food for thought for all you readers. Reason for this?
I have to stay out on some gigs (like KCHC!!!) because of CNY. Garrrrhhh.... tak adil.
