Con-Damn The Corruptor (CTC) planning for 2023? New recordings? Merch? Gigs?
Hi whats up guys benny writing here. So far we are going to having a performance on:
- noisefest 2023 at sandakan 5 FEBUARY
-corefest 2023 at kuching, sarawak 4 march
-istirahat 2023 at johor (TBC) JULLY
Thats all the show that we can list now and for the new recording, yes we are on the recording process now and we're going to relese some merch aswell
Seems like you guys are not having a stable line up for the band, does it in a way or another affect the activities of CTC? And who is actually the core/important person in CTC, without him/her then CTC will not sound as CTC?
Yeah people come and go and we keep recruiting a new line up again and again but it's okay since this band is a collective band. Everybody in CTC are the core for this band but honestly the main role for the sound of CTC is popoi (drummer) without him CTC sound will become verry different coz only popoi can make a drum sound that what i want which is the tribal beat. I already doing some audition for the drummer possition while popoi is not in the band before this but nobody can copy the popoi tribal beat. Besides popoi of course me myself as a vocalist and the captain for this band i'm the person who incharge this band for everything like practice, shows, merch, promotion etc. But honestly i prefer to call CTC as a FAMILY and the member for CTC now is:
Benny pangazou - vox/guitar/drum
Evonne - 2nd vox
Jurdin - guitar/bass
Basri - guitar/bass
Nick - guitar/bass/drum
Usop - bass
Sandra - bass
Popoi - drum
Bulat - percussion
Apek - percussion/bass
We fight corruption every day, but there is no sign of it going to stop. As a band, what is your effort in combating corruption?
Corruption is everywhere and always have as long as the human with the greedy attitude and never satisfying of what they have. A corruptor is like a pig it doesn't matter of how many times that you feed them, they always hungry and keep asking a "food" more and more. I've seen this for so many time's (corruption) and it make me sick! We as a band, we will keep spreading the message about this asshole (the corruptors) as long as we alive.
Your song ``Story From Our Land", has this line of “Berdiri bergerak bersama-sama, Kita lawan penindasan”. What kind of oppression are people in Sabah in general still facing today? Tell us the reader about the reality and the truth that we might not even know.
The oppression from the authority especially the about the MA63 which is the agreement during the malaysia organization during 1963, the malaysia born from the alliance of malaya, sabah, and sarawak and there's a few agreement that they (kerajaan pusat) need to fullfill it but it never happens. besides the sabah and sarawak status are changed by them (kerajaan pusat) from COUNTRY to STATE. The ic project, it's really really sucks and it give a big impact of the community in sabah nowadays. So many if i want to wrote down here but nevermind it will be more good if we meet someday and we can chill drinking some coffe and i can tell you more.
Do you agree if I said that bands in our scene now are less political and more personal especially in the lyrical theme? Your view on this topic.
Well i feel the same actually but it's okay coz everybody have a right to expose they feel and everything from the music that they play.
That’s all for now, all the best to CTC, any last words before we end this interview?
Thank you so much for having us in this interview session. Love your country hate your goverment! Kounsapatan ko ngaavi!
