Distro Day Out
A Carnival of SE Asian DIY Hardcore-Punk-Underground Distros!
Saturday 28 – Sunday 29 January 2012, 12pm-10pm
The Substation Gallery
Admission: Free
This is an OpenHouse event
“Distro”, short for ‘distribution’, has been an integral part of the underground music community-network since the 90s. Run on principles and mechanisms similar to the slightly more reknowned concept of the ‘bedroom label’, the distro has provided those involved in underground punk/hardcore/metal with an avenue to discover and explore music and literature that would otherwise be almost impossible to find.
Also acting as an alternative to corporate music chain-stores, the distro, while relatively obscure to those not in the loop, are far more accessible as both an enterprise and as a contact base within the DIY spectrum.

It may sound strange to most that a reggae band would sprout from an eclectic scene dominated by the Top 40s and the international arena at large. But for the young members of Bushmen, theirs was a co-existence realised by a common aim when they started performing at the International School of Singapore in 1997.
