Fun Song For Friends

IT surely wasn't a fun song for 'friends'.
Kuala Lumpur based Carburetor Dung (pic) stole the limelight for the wrong reasons after it was widely reported their frontman Alek showed off his boxer shorts in public during performance in Kelana Jaya.
In the 1969 Woodstock, some of the band members went on to play shirtless while Pearl Jam's frontman Eddie Vedder once used a Rolling Stones Magazine to wipe his a$$ during a concert.
Carburetor Dung feel their antics during the song Mari Belajar Jilat (Let's Learn to Lick) was misconstrued and they have nothing to appologise despite the jeers and assault from the crowd at the PJ Stadium.
Obtaining its name from Lester Bang's book Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung, the local punk rock band was formed in 1991 but has only two albums (Songs For Friends, The Allure of Manure) to boast since - excluding an EP and several compilations.
The band is one of the very few local indie groups that has sustained over the years despite the weak local music industry in the country.
