The Empunkyar Strikes Blog

Why am i starting a blog for Pusher ?

The band has been idle for some time and went hiatus for a couple of years since the Knot Record Collective had to move out from its home base (the infamous 401 flat-house Section 8) in Shah Alam. It came to a point where the house was in total wreck-ness ( population exceeded, the lost of the toilet door, the main access door falling apart, torn pillows and mattress leaking its filler all over, contaminated air - with foul odor, nicotine & other substance etc, water leaks in the kitchen, Rashid Maidin The Cat badly wounded etc ). Everybody was getting bored with the conservativeness of Shah Alam and wanted to seek opportunity elsewhere. One by one left. Some got better rent-paying jobs, some ended their lonesomeness and some decided to balik kampung.

Pusher did'nt break-up. We went in to several conflicts but at the end of the day we would just call up each other and go jamming. Shimi and wife just got their first baby boy, Toleb just got married, Onie is still working at the airport and i've been a sloth and a slave to work. So i'm starting to write this blog in order to make sure that Pusher reactivates.
