KONSERT THRASH DISEKAT, PENGANJUR RUGI RM20,000 - MALAYSIAKINI


Tujuan EKSTRIM menyiarkan artikel ini hanyalah sekadar untuk perkongsian, dan rujukan generasi Metal Malaysia pada masa akan datang. Penulisan ini adalah berkaitan pembatalan KREATOR - LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR yang sepatutnya berlangsung pada 23 April 2014 di Scandals Club, Kuala Lumpur.


Farah Noor Samat - 6:45PM - 25 Apr 2014

Penganjur konsert Kreator, kumpulan 'thrash metal' terkenal daripada Jerman, yang dihalang persembahan oleh Dewan Bandar Raya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) mendakwa kerugian lebih RM20,000 akibat tindakan itu.

Demigod Records, penganjur konsert yang sepatutnya berlangsung pada 23 April lalu berkata, mereka mengalami kerugian apabila jualan awal tiket masih belum cukup menampung kos pengurusan acara.

Mereka mendakwa sudah membelanjakan RM75,000 untuk pelbagai bayaran, antaranya bayaran persembahan, sewaan tempat dan kos penerbangan, sedangkan kutipan jualan awal baru mencecah angka RM53,800.

Dalam kenyataannya di Facebook beberapa jam sebelum persembahan bermula, Demigod berkata ekoran kerugian itu mereka tidak dapat memulangkan wang tiket kepada peminat.

Penganjur menegaskan yang wang tiket hanya akan dipulangkan jika pembatalan dibuat mereka sendiri atau Agensi Pusat Permohonan Penggambaran Filem dan Persembahan Artis Luar Negara (PUSPAL).

"Dalam kes ini bukan kami yang ambil tindakan (batalkannya), ia di luar kuasa kami," katanya.

Menjelaskan pembatalan itu, penganjur berkata, mereka dimaklumkan sekatan itu melalui telefon dan kunjungan pegawai DBKL ke tempat acara sepatutnya berlangsung, di sebuah kelab malam di Jalan P Ramlee, Kuala Lumpur.

"Pada jam 5.30 petang dua orang pegawai DBKL datang ke lokasi menghantar notis kepada pengurus pusat hiburan mengarahkan untuk batalkan persembahan dan menutup perniagaan pada malam itu," menurut kenyataan itu.

Demigod menjelaskan, terpaksa akur bagi mengelakkan serbuan yang boleh menyebabkan pengunjung konsert bermalam di lokap.

Sementara itu, diminta mengulas perkara itu, DBKL memaklumkan konsert Kreator disekat kerana lesen hiburan kelab di ibu negara itu telah tamat.

Unit Media, Jabatan Perancangan Korporat DBKL memaklumkan perkara itu dalam balasan e-mel kepada Malaysiakini hari ini.

"Pengendali masih dalam proses pembaharuan semula lesen-lesen tersebut. Dalam tempoh proses pembaharuan tiada sebarang aktiviti dibenarkan," menurut kenyataan itu.

KREATOR CONCERT CANCELLED DUE TO EXPIRED VENUE LICENSE, SAYS DBKL - MALAY MAIL


Tujuan EKSTRIM menyiarkan artikel ini hanyalah sekadar untuk perkongsian, dan rujukan generasi Metal Malaysia pada masa akan datang. Penulisan ini adalah berkaitan pembatalan KREATOR - LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR yang sepatutnya berlangsung pada 23 April 2014 di Scandals Club, Kuala Lumpur.


BY JOSEPH SIPALAN | April 25, 2014

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — The organisers of a metal concert featuring an international artist had to be cancelled on the day of the show as the venue’s license had lapsed, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) said today.

The local authority’s media unit said in a two paragraph statement that the premise and entertainment licenses of the venue, Scandals Club, had expired and could not legally host any events until the licenses are approved.

“The operator is still in the process of renewing the licenses. Over the period of the renewal process, no activities are allowed,” DBKL said via email.

Metal fans were up in arms on Wednesday after they were informed at the 11th hour of the concert cancellation of thrash metal band Kreator.

The German metal veterans, who were in Malaysia for the second time since their first gig in 2005, said on their official Facebook page that they were informed by the local promoter that the concert was cancelled “for reasons beyond our control”, just hours before they were scheduled to start their 7pm show.

Angry fans have since vented their frustrations over the cancellation, demanding that the local organisers — listed as Demigod Production and Super Psycho Cyber Sonic on promotional material — refund their tickets costing between RM100 and RM120 each.

In a statement issued yesterday, the organisers claimed that they were forced to cancel the show “due to interference by a religious enforcement department”, despite having all the necessary documents already prepared.

The organisers alleged that they were first given a verbal warning over the phone by a DBKL official at 4pm after a public complaint was made over what was allegedly described as a “Black Metal Show”.

Two DBKL officials later turned up at the event venue at around 5.30pm to hand over a written notice to the venue manager to cancel the show and close shop for the night.

The DBKL officials allegedly said that if they refused to cancel the show, the organisers would have to “get ready for any possibilities”.

The statement by the organisers has been making its rounds among metal fans through social media websites.

The organisers, however, have refused to refund the tickets, insisting that the cancellation was not their doing but due to interference by a “third party”. They claimed that the forced cancellation had caused them to suffer more than RM20,000 in losses.

“As some of you asking for refund, we’d love to do that if we could. However, the show is forced to cancel not to our fault. We have completed all things that required.

“As according to PUSPAL, ticket fees should be refunded if the show is cancel by organizer/ PUSPAL but in this case it’s beyond our control and none of us is taking the action. There’s another third party that interference and forced to cancel the show due to society’s misunderstanding,” read the statement, referring to the Central Agency for the Application for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artistes.

The Facebook promotional page, Kreator live in Kuala Lumpur, has since been taken down and the organisers could not be contacted for further comments.

The cancellation of the Kreator concert is the latest in a string of cancellations of high profile international acts in Malaysia.

Last October, pop songstress Kesha was banned from performing in Kuala Lumpur after Puspal did not give approval for the show, causing over RM1 million in losses for local promoter Livescape.

Just a month earlier, death metal band Lamb of God was barred from performing after religious groups claimed their music infringed on religious sensitivities and cultural values.

In 2012, R&B singer Erykah Badu was shown the door after a promotional faux pas which showed a picture of her with a tattoo representing the Arabic sign for God. The authorities maintained the ban even after she told local media that she did not have the tattoo.

‘THRASH METAL’ CONCERT CANCELLED, ORGANISER NOT ISSUING REFUNDS - THE RAKYAT POST


A 'thrash metal' concert has been called off after Kuala Lumpur City Hall raided the venue based on a tip-off that the concert had not received approval. However, the organiser claims the concert was well-planned and all documents were ready.

By Michael Murty

KUALA LUMPUR, April 24:

A concert by Kreator, a “thrash metal” band from Essen, Germany, was cancelled during their sound check at the Scandals Club here after it was raided by officials.

The initial rumour that spread was that the concert was raided by the Department of Islamic Development (Jakim). However, a spokesperson from the department told The Rakyat Post: “Jakim had nothing to do with the raid.”

Later,  a statement issued by the organiser, stated that the concert, dubbed “Kreator the 30th Anniversary Tour”, was scheduled to go on until the sound check at 4pm, when they got a verbal warning through a phone call from DBKL (Kuala Lumpur City Hall) asking to cancel the show.

“This was due to the fact that it (DBKL) had received complaints from people calling it a ‘Black Metal Show’.

“They threatened us that if we proceeded, it was ready to raid the place with IPD (district police headquarters) Dang Wangi.

“They gave us three options: continue the show and get ready for a terrible certainty, change the venue at the last minute, or cancel the show,” the online statement read.

Meanwhile, DBKL Licensing and Petty Traders Management Department director Rolan Rahman said they acted based on a tip-off that the concert had not received approval.

“Every entertainment event needs to seek approval from DBKL before they can proceed. This concert did not get any approval from us,” he told The Rakyat Post.

He wasn’t sure of any other details like how many officers carried out the raid.

While Rolan said DBKL would monitor the nature of concerts held. In this particular case, it acted based on information that there was no approval given.

This negates the earlier claims made by the organiser that the raid took place because complaints were made with people referring to Kreator as a black metal band.

The band, however, was not “black metal”, but a “thrash metal” band.

Famous “thrash metal” bands include Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus and Kreator, in which Kreator and Metallica had performed on our soil before.

The organiser, Demigod Records, said the concert was well-planned and all documents were ready.

“If we didn’t get everything sorted out, we wouldn’t publish the show’s information in Metro Ahad on Sunday, 20 April.

“At 5.30pm, two DBKL officers came to the venue with a hand-written short notice to the club’s manager to cancel the show and close their business for the night.”

The organiser also stated that there would be no refunds for the tickets.

“The cancellation of the show was not our fault. According to Puspal, ticket fees should be refunded if the show is cancelled by organisers/Puspal, but in this case it’s beyond our control,” Demigod said, referring to the Central Agency for the Application for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artistes (Puspal) under the Communications and Multimedia Ministry.

Fans had begun to show their frustration online over the fact that they could not get refunds for a concert that never took place.

Upreshpal Singh said: “In my opinion it is the organiser’s fault. You should have been ready for all eventualities that might happen.

“It’s unfair to say to fans that what happened yesterday was out of your control even if that is what it seems.

“If you are to organise a metal show, absolutely everything has to be done prior to the show to ensure nothing will stop the show. It may be easier said than done, but you should leave no room for doubt.”

Cheah Jie Juan said: “I’d like to suggest no more Metal gigs in KL (Kuala Lumpur) any more. You should already know the risks before all of this happened. We would still want our refund.

“This goes beyond giving my personal ’5 cents’ because I’m utterly disappointed with the whole situation. This I feel does not qualify your statement about not refunding us. You should know better as an organiser. This is not a ‘Celine Dion’ concert.”

Those were only two out of many more disgruntled comments made by netizens who were upset about the cancellation of the show, apart from not getting refunds.

The four members of  Kreator — Mille Petrozza (guitar/vocals), Sami Yli-Sirnio (guitar), Christian Giesler (bass) and Jurgen “Ventor” Reil (drums) — and another four crew members arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 9.30am on April 22.

KREATOR LIVE IN KL DIBATALKAN!


Bersimpati dengan pembatalan mengejut KREATOR - LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR 2014. Beginilah nasib kami anak-anak Metal. Terharu dengann semangat rakan-rakan tetapi ruang yang kecil ini seringkali disekat. Hinakah kami menjadi anak-anak Metal? Berikut adalah KENYATAAN RASMI yang dikeluarkan oleh pihak penganjur DEMIGOD RECORDS pada Khamis, 24 April 2014, jam 3:31ptg di facebook.com/events/683398298378472



Greetings. It's almost 24 hours after the incident. On behalf of the organizer / promoter not much we can say for the first word other than Sorry. We feel sorry for the fans, for those who already bought the ticket, for those who travel across the sea, across the state, and across the country, for those who promote, those who helps us selling the ticket and last but not least for Mille & Co.

As the rumors spread, show is forced to take down due to interference by a religious enforcement department. Everything else is well-planned and all documents are ready, the band has already there, venue is ready with all the equipment, and not to forget the fans are also there. We have no intention to cancel the show at the last minutes at all as everything is almost ready to kick start. If we got nothing, we wouldn’t even publish the show info in Metro Ahad on Sunday, April 20th.

Everything went smoothly until at 4pm on the show day (just another 4 hours before Kreator supposed to take over the stage), we got a verbal warning through a phone call by DBKL (Kuala Lumpur City Hall) asking to cancel the show due to the fact that the society complaint and believe it’s a “Black Metal Show”. If we proceed, they are ready for the raid together with IPK Dang Wangi.

We have 3 options at that moment:
1. Continue the show and get ready for a terrible certainty.
2. Change the venue for the last minute.
3. Cancel the show.

First option seems to be too risky. We just ignore the warning and continue with the show, so that you guys can enjoy 2 or 3 songs from Kreator before the raid. However, the major issue is the band members and their crews. Sure there will be a diplomatic issue as it involved Germany’s and Austrian citizens. Worse, they have to cancel all their remaining 4 tour dates until this Sunday, April 27th. Some of you guys may also get the risk of staying in lock-up for a night or up to one week. And sure last but not least, another episode of mega stories of Black Metal issues will boom in the newspaper for almost a month.

Second option is much better. Right after we got the warning, we tried our best to get an express venue although the set-up is almost done at Scandals Club and Kreator just began their sound check. First alternative is Bentley Music Auditorium in Damansara. Unfortunately, the venue is booked for 2 days as they get an event on the next day, April 24th and the organizer have already start their set-up at the time we get in touch. While Black Box @ Solaris Dutamas isn’t possible at all as the venue is fully booked the entire month of April for exhibition. Last option that bears another high risk is the nearest KL Live, it just take few minutes walking distance from Scandals Club. However, due to security issue we have no deal as it won’t change anything. Other venue such as Alt HQ @ Fahrenheit 88 and Malaysian Rock Café (as suggested by few) does not meet the specification required by Kreator and their management. Everything seems impossible.

At around 5.30pm, two DBKL officers come to the venue to hand over a written short notice to the club’s manager to cancel the show and close their business for the night or else just get ready for any possibilities. With the official and formal last warning, in regards of the security issue of the band members and their crews, the crowd itself and the venue, we eventually come to the hardest decision to choose the third and last option, cancel the show at last minutes; less than 2 hours before the doors open.

As for the tickets, we gain nothing out of the sold early birds and pre-sales ticket. Perhaps, we even loose all our capital. Band already got paid in full. Not that they didn’t perform, they will not get paid. Band payment is already settled in early April, or else they wouldn’t even be in Kuala Lumpur at all. Hotel, flight, venue, backline and rider are also booked and paid. Everything is ready for the show.

This is the summary of where your money for the ticket and our capital goes:
1. Bands (Payment + Fees + Permit Purposes): RM32200
2. Flight cost: RM12000
3. Backline & Rider: RM17800
4. Venue rental: RM5000
5. Hotel (8 rooms of 4 star hotel x 2 nights as required): RM2600
6. Meal (2x Lunch, 2x Dinner + 1x Breakfast for 8 people): RM3400
7. Transportation (Van rental + fuel + toll + parking for 3 days for 3 cars & a van): RM1500
8. Miscellaneous (Printing of ticket & flyers, band ride around town etc): RM500
Total summation of all cost is RM75000

Now, we take a look at the pre-sales ticket:
Early Birds: RM100 x 130 buyers = RM13000
Pre-sales: RM120 x 340 buyers = RM40800
Total collection: RM13000 + RM40800 = RM53800

As some of you lost your RM100 or RM120 for the ticket, so do us. We also lost more than RM20000 of our capital for canceling the show. However, as mentioned earlier, the security of the band members and their crews, the crowd itself, the equipment and the venue are more important than money.

As some of you asking for refund, we’d love to do that if we could. However, the show is forced to cancel not to our fault. We have completed all things that required. As according to PUSPAL, ticket fees should be refunded if the show is cancel by organizer / PUSPAL but in this case it’s beyond our control and none of us is taking the action. There’s another third party that interference and forced to cancel the show due to society’s misunderstanding.

Until then,
PROMOTER & ORGANIZER
KREATOR LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR, 23rd APRIL OF 2014 (CANCELLED)
