Fine for food and free gigs

What do establishments like Groove Junction, Lepaq Cafe and Homegrown Space have in common? Other than fine food, they offer budding artistes a platform to be seen and heard.

In need of public space

Some thirty years ago, the word “indie” was an unfamiliar term in the Malaysian entertainment scene. In fact, “indie” artistes like Rafique Rashid, Peter Hassan and Wan Zawawi were labeled as penyanyi puisi.

Dedicated to up-and-coming artistes

There are currently many places offering both food and entertainment and, more importantly, the opportunity for artistes from all walks to showcase their skills. Following are the places Sunday Metro checked out.
