The
Shamrockers are a
rocking quartet from various
corners of the world, coming together in Phnom Penh this weekend for
a blistering series of gigs. The fun starts at Farm
to Table
on Friday with an acoustic session, moving on to a full band setup at
Oscar's on The
Corner
later that night. Andy
(UK), Paul (Kuala Lumpur), Hung (Vietnam) and Danny (Philippines)
will then play a Saturday show at The
Exchange.
The
Shamrockers honed
their repertoire of classic Irish rock and folk-rock (think Thin
Lizzy, The Pogues, The Chieftains)
with a weekly residency at Sheridan’s
Irish Pub in Ho Chi Minh City. Sounds like fun and something
different for
the Phnom Penh scene!
Bob Passion &
The Schkoots will be back in
action at Oscar's on The
Corner this
Saturday night. The tightly-wound trio of Bob, Ben and Jan are a loud
and refreshingly original
package
of French-language punk. Check out their recent album 'Straight To
The Legend' on bandcamp
and be sure to pick up your own copy at the gig on Saturday.
Riverhouse
Asian Bistro are kicking off a
brand-new weekly night this Monday. Your host is Clay
'Class Act' George and
the musicians are a hand-picked bunch of top jazz players.
This week, Seb Adnot
(bass), Larry Martinez
(keys), and Norman King
(saxophone) will take to the stage – with a different configuration
of musicians coming together
each Monday. The repertoire will be a mixture of instrumental jazz
and vocal pieces, with a
strong possibility of some guest stars 'sitting in' for a few tunes!

If
you somehow managed to miss the recent incendiary performances by
Jahzad at Jazz Club Phnom Penh... Jan 'Professor
Kinski' Mueller can help! The dub-addicted professor has recorded,
mixed and released on Youtube several songs from last weekend's show.
Videographer Nich SeVen also captured two of the songs on
film. Those who were there for the gigs experienced seven of the best
musicians in the country creating such cool and interesting music.
The Jazz Club continues to
produce first-class live shows on a regular basis, with
Reinhardt-Grapelli enthusiasts Hot
Club de Phnom Penh and
cool jazzers Norman
King
Quartet
appearing weekly. Jazz Club attendees
may consider reserving a table ahead of time for a rare public
appearance by the 'reclusive' Krom
on Saturday the 10th
of September. Band leader Chris
Minko let Leng
Pleng know that the show will
be a 'one-off special gig for
a listening audience'. More original Khmer sounds can be heard every
Wednesday at the Jazz Club's
Cambodian night – with an
appearance by saxophonist Bunhong
Cheak and
Miss
Sarawan
scheduled for the
14th
September.
Whatever you're up to over the next few days, stay safe out there and... see you around the traps!
