Here is our programming for November. We’re bringing back some of our signature nights such as Resonance (weird electronic and experimental s**t), Rizki Business (all things groovy) and Jazz Jazz Jazz (self explanatory innit?), our friends Disko Santan and Dazed by Disko are finally out of their hidings too. We’re introducing some new nights as well - Fono Is For Lovers and Dub Tings. To keep things safe and comfortable for everyone, table reservations with advance cover charge (RM30 per person) is the ONLY way to join the soirée. No walk-ins and no refund if you fong fei kei on us. Refer to the highlight above on how to book a spot for you and your friends.

Exactly two months ago, we requested for your help so we can stay afloat while waiting for the stormy weather to be over. Finally the sun is coming out and we can resume to serve the community with our programming, albeit rather restricted but we believe better days are just around the corner.

This post is a big shout out to all of you. We’ve read all the messages you left us together with the monetary contributions and we promise we will reach out to every one of you after we get back on track, safely and smoothly. There are many more things we want to talk about - emotions, expenditure, future plans but for now, we just want to sincerely thank you for the love you have shown us 🙏🏼😭

Music is a powerful thing and you’re the testament to that. We will end our donation drive tomorrow night (30/09), so if you do want to give us one final push to ride this wave, we’d appreciate it very much, and please know that you’re indirectly making a positive change in people’s lives.

Bless.

We’re back but with some restrictions of course, we take what we can get for now. Residents and friends will be curating your lepak soundtrack all month long, while you unwind or catch up with your friends because we all need it. The safety of our crew and the community is still our top priority so please adhere to the SOPs by the government, we’d like to think our crowd is mature enough so we’re not going to spell out the obvious 😉 Hope to see you soon.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Dear family and friends, we have depleted our resources and we need your help to keep the engine running.

We believe our small space contributes a lot to our creative scene; as a platform for artists, music lovers, and the community to discover, experiment, and exchange ideas.

We appreciate help in all forms - donations, grants, jobs, or even simply sharing this post for visibility. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

While music may seem magical, it does not happen magically.

Long post ahead: Mother earth has completed its orbit around the sun ever since Rona dropped by to say hi to all of us. Hopefully, 2021 will be kinder to all of us. While arts & music are not considered essential but we believe these provided us comfort, temporary escape, and a way to cope with what is going on in the world right now. In all honesty, the fono core team is still struggling with making ends meet and constantly adapting to the ever-changing SOPs in response to the increasing number of cases while fighting the urge to snap back to the "old" ways of doing things. On the bright side, we’re currently receiving financial assistance from CENDANA (Cultural Economy Development Agency) to help out with our rent for the next several months so we can focus on programming. Anyway, good news to adventurous music listeners and audiophiles, we’re open to the public (limited seats) every Friday & Saturday for our regular music sharing sessions. More (safe) activities are being finalised, will share once we ironed out the details. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to say a massive thanks to those who still believe in us as we’re approaching our 3rd anniversary. Agi idup agi ngelaban!
