Local jazz-pop songbird Mia Palencia, despite having already released 2 albums to her name, have only very recently came out with what she’s calling her first ever music video for the song The Revolutionary Hum, taken from her second solo albums Songs From The Jiwang Kingdom. Shot in Australia, where she is currently based now, the slick-looking video was done by The Amadis Project and directed by Jared Abdul-Rahman, and it recently won the Audience Choice Award at the Amplified 2011 Music Video Competition. Enjoy the video below.

The No Black Tie annual acoustic countdown is back this year, presented to you by the good people from Moonshine, with 12 acts spread across 2 days in the usual songwriters round format. Some of the acts involved include our favourites like Meor, Azmyl Yunor, Mia Palencia, Reza Salleh, Jerome Kugan and more. The classy venue & great sound at No Black Tie should provide you with even more incentive to come and check it out.

Wow, it’s been 5 years of monthly shows already for Moonshine? Time certainly does fly. And to celebrate this milestone, the kind folks at Moonshine have put together an especially long list of performers for their 5th Anniversary show with the likes of Mia Palencia, Auburn, Awanband, Narmi and lots more, including the boss man himself Reza Salleh. So for a night of singer-songwriters, pop rock, hip hop, alternative rock and even a tribute band (if they’re still one, that is), you definitely can’t go wrong with this one.

Show starts at 9pm on Thursday, 25th November 2010 at Laundry Bar, The Curve, Kuala Lumpur. Admission is free.
