Hi, I'm new to Jakarta, but already I've noticed a fair share of piercing and tattoo parlours in my area. Upon further investigation, they were selling MXPX, Sex Pistols, etc. My question is: Where is the local punk venue? Where could one catch a show?

PS> An addition aside, if anyone is interested in PnP RPG, give a holler.

Not too sure about punk, its around, but a long time since I have seen a show there. You could go to the underground mall in Blok M and ask any of the metal heads down there, most are pretty friendly guys and if you make a friend they can show you around the scene. There is a great deal of crossover between musical styles there, so they should be able to help.

No worries, let me know how you go. With the way things are here in Korea, I could be down there myself pretty sharpish.

There are quite a few punk (and metal) bands in Indonesia, but gigging is a bit spasmodic.

Jaga, as one waegookin to another- don't come to Indonesia unless you are really sure you want to come to Indonesia. I've been here 3 months, and frankly unless you like cheap beer (quality not price) and pool, then you will be stone bored. I could rag on and on about the place, but I won't (pm if you want all that), but I will say that for the wage it pays, you have to love Indonesia to want to come here.
