For some of you out there who are always getting disappointed because big acts like Beastie Boys, Slipknot, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others don’t come to Kuala Lumpur and always make their way to Singapore to do a gig, you can now all rejoice and pop that ’78 Dom Pérignon! (In some scenarios, Cheers Beer.)

Six time Grammy-Award winning American record producer, rapper and street-wear icon Kanye West will be rocking the mic this coming month of April on the 8^th at Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur!

Kanye West, born in Atlanta, famed for his arrogant lyrics and ego-maniac personality who under his belt has two, three-time platinum album, “The College Dropout” and “Late Registration”. Kanye will be dropping by the only city in the region on the Asia tour this April to do one gig in the heart of KL. Who knows he might even probably drop by for our swap-meet? Tickets are priced at RM230, RM200, RM150 (non-seating), RM120 and RM80. You can get your ticket at Axcess Tickets soon.

Also, watch out for his third album, “Graduation”, expected to release Spring 2007!

We have blogged about Nudie Jeans Co. when 707 reported on stocking them. Nudie Jeans Co. have previewed their 2007 Spring/Summercollection with the addition of new colours and cuts (Even Steven is our all time favourite). Great things about Nudie Jeans is how much passion they have towards denim and they have even provided some guides and videos (funny ones) of how to care for your denim.

Nudie is the ”naked truth about denim”. Denim has the ability to age beautifully – formed by its user into a second skin, naked and personal. The longer it lives the more character it gets. The indigo is a living colour that fades and gives the denim its character. The more you wear your jeans the more beautiful they get. Jeans are more than just a piece of clothing.

You can only get Nudie at following stockists in South East Asia:
