With a name like Arrington de Dionyso, it’s pretty obvious that this guy might be a little on the exotic side of things. No doubt: with his new band, Malaikat dan Singa, he one-ups his previous work in Old Time Relijun by singing in Indonesian atop his usual hodgepodge of throat-singing, bass clarinet-blasting, and ultra funky punk rhythming. Malaikat dan Singa saw their very first, self-titled release last year on K Records (TMT Eureka!) and is now ready to do a full-on US tour to show the states what they’re all about (full disclosure: TMT’s own Santo Peligro will be touring in the band; though, he did not know anyone from the band when he wrote his review of the group’s latest album). “Some artists push the envelope, de Dionyso eats the envelope and spits out an origami of sound.” Check out the dates below:
