Nominations!

Yippeee.... we were nominated for our Mostly, We Moon concert last November in FOUR categories in the Boh Cameronian Arts Awards in the music category. It's almost like KL's own Grammy's or Oscars for the local art scene, but obviously, nothing as grand as those! Still, it is an absolute achievement to having been nominated, not in one, but in FOUR categories! Our previous shows were also nominated, but in one category in the respective years.
