Monday 4th of June,a legend by the name Loga passed away.A member of the most famous rock band in Malaysia 'Alleycats'. He was 54, survived by son and a daughter.
Alleycats has been my favourite band ever since i was a young boy.
I had the opportunity to watch them perform live in PJ Hilton,Uncle Chili's.I was a student then.With limited cash I would try to get there every week without fail.Mind you, this is a five star hotel.Nevertheless,I just wanted more of them.My most unforgettable experience with them was when my wife(Then Girlfriend) surprised me by organising my birthday party with them in Chili's.I was shocked,dumbfounded but those memories are unforgettable.
The uniqueness with this band is that it truly represented a Malaysian band,members were of different races and colour the only thing that was connecting them was music.
I'm certainly going to miss Loga,i have seen him playing the flute,providing the vocal support for his elder brother David and sing.
Some of their famous songs; Hingga Akhir Nanti,Sekuntum mawar merah,Kerana Kau,Nokthah terakhir and the evergreen Sampaikanlah Salam.My all time favourite number of theirs is 'Andainya aku peri dulu'....
May your soul rest in peace,you are simply irreplaceable.

My husband and I are also a fan of the "Alleycats" and we are feeling a great lost with the passing of Loga. As we are from Penang (his hometown) we have always had the opportunity to see them perform live in various locations. We have also met them many a times since he is my uncle's friend. May his soul rest in peace.
Thanx, for dropping by my blog, h is certainly one of a kind.May his legacy lives on...
