Slow-boat to China
French
jazz singer Anne Evenou
will continue her brief Cambodian tour with two gigs in Phnom Penh
this week. The China-based chanteuse will
take to the Tonle Sap river aboard
the Kanikaboat
floating restaurant
this Thursday evening.
There will also be a land-based gig at Bouchon
on
Friday night.
Musical support at both shows will be provided by the
musical partnership
of
Ritchy (drums,
vocals) &
Phil (keys,
saxophone, vocals).
This
talented twosome are able to create
more
musical embellishment with
just
two
pairs of hands than most bands can
produce with
a stage
full of musicians.

Scott
Bywater's comedic song 'Phnom
Penh Driving School'
has almost taken on a life of
it's own over the last year or so.
The musical tale
of terrible traffic could regularly be heard ringing out of certain
city establishments, even while its author was living thousands of
miles away in France. Now
Scott is back in Phnom Penh with a clutch of freshly-minted
songs - inspired by the joys
of new fatherhood, and the challenges of performing 'Flying Into
Pochentong' to a French
audience in Nantes. Catch the Tasmanian singer and poet for a
full-length show
at Alley Bar this
Friday. Scott Bywater
is also back in charge of the Sundowner
Sessions acoustic
open mic at Alley Cat Cafe (not
to be confused with Alley Bar)
each Sunday afternoon.
Dancing Fingers,
Booming Bass
Guitarist
Jeff Sleeman will
hold a launch party this
Saturday for his new album
Gentle
Instrumental -
at
Starworks
in Phnom Penh. The nimble-fingered Englishman is inspired by the
innovative acoustic
guitar
work
of
Ewan
Dobson. Jeff will showcase
his style on Saturday with a set of solo guitar pieces written by
Dobson, followed by a set of original songs from Gentle
Instrumental.
Sleeman will be ably accompanied by Larry
Martinez
(keys) and Lewis
Pragasam
(drums/percussion) during the second set. CD
copies
of the new album will
be available for purchase at the gig. Check out Jeff's impressive
guitar
skills
in the video above.

Vibratone
will break some new ground on Saturday night when they play a gig at
BLVD nightclub.
The
Phnom Penh venue is well-known for DJ nights but live music has not
been a regular feature there...
until now.
Vibratone's
live show is always worth catching thanks to their lively
roots-reggae sound
- with a Latin twist provided by flamboyant
Brazilian drummer Luis
Arambarri.
Support
on
Saturday comes
from DJ Pro
and DJ Mochino.
Farewell

After ten years in Cambodia, the self-styled 'Artgitateur Artventurier' is winding up the Bhor Moto Garage and preparing for a move to The Philippines. Expect a great going-away party at the Garage gig this Sunday. Fellow punk bands Big Time and At Robiep will join The Schkoots on stage to send the main man off in suitably raucous style. Bob will also be showing select archive video footage from the Bhor Moto vaults. Bob Passion & The Schkoots will play a farewell gig at Sharky Bar in Phnom Penh on Friday 22nd May. Best wishes and safe travels to 'Mr. Lop Lop' from Leng Pleng.
Whatever you're up
to this week, stay safe out there and... see you around the traps!
