Oi! Readers, in this edition I wanted to interview an owner of Warrior Shop, located in Jakarta (Indonesia). And here is my interview with owner of warriors shop(ADHITYA aka UTI)
When was Warrior Shop estabslihed?
- Warrior Shop was established in 2002, the idea was for a place that could be a meeting point, a hang out for all the skinheads, friends and of course we sell local and imported merchandise.
What kind of merchandise do you sell?
- All the best Skinhead gear, local and imported. We sell CDs, cassettes, patches, stickers, hats, etc. and all the name brands like Doc Marten shoes, Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, Merch, Lonsdale, Alfa Industrie, Everlast, and many more. Plus we not only sell brand new stuff but we carry second hand goods as well.
So besides being a store, it's also a Skinhead meeting spot?
- Yes many of the local Skinheads hang out at Warrior Shop just to chat or drink beer at night.
Are you affiliated with other shops?
- We have many contacts to other shops with official Holligan Merch, Traditional stuff, Keotik Kultur distributor, Worker shop at Bandung and we have contact with over sea shops in Singapore, Malaysia, and many more.

Hi, nice to meet you again. This time I will interview to the band called Real Mckenzies
- Who are the members of Real McKenzies?
1. Paul McKenzie, Karl Alvarez, Mark (The Bone) Boland, Dave Gregg, Matt MacNasty, (Dirty) Kurt Robertson, Sean Sellers, Gord Taylor
- When was the band formed?
2. Various reports indicate different dates, but I think 1992 is the answer to your question.
- What are your activities (other than the band)?
3. Drinking, drugs, sex, rock and roll...wait...that's mostly band stuff...Actually, I think 'the band' is our lives. We only have 3 weeks off between our Eurotour and Canadian tour, then after another 3 weeks, we go back to Europe. There's really no time for anything during our offdays except a little sleep and maybe some sex.
- We like the song called "Smokin' Bowl" from the album 10,000 Shots. Can you tell us a little about that song?
4. Smokin' Bowl is written based on a poem written by the Scottish poet, Robbie Burns. This song is often confused for being about drugs, but actually, the poem was originally written about a bowl of oatmeal.
- When do you plan on releasing a new album?
5. We have a new acoustic album coming and DVD coming out in 2010. The acoustic album is called 'Shine not Burn' and the DVD is called 'The Real McKenzies Love You'. Myself and Dirty Kurt are going to start writing our new electric album (Probably due for release in 2011) at the beginning of March.
- What was your best show?
6. All of our shows are our best shows! That's part of being a Real McKenzie! Every audience is different and we're the type of group that always find the most amazing times anywhere. The Real McKenzies are all about a positive attitude and having fun, and we could never say that one show was better than the other just because of how many variables there are. For example, Russia had a huge amount of fans who were absolutely wild and fun and rock and roll, but in Dusseldorf we played a laid back acoustic show for about 70 people were so intimate and awesome. We were actually talking to each and every one of them during the concert! in the coming months, we'll be playing for the St. Pauli Football Club's 100th anniversary and will be playing for 30,000 people. That will be an amazing show too for different reasons! We've heard that Indonesian fans are truly the best though, so until we play Indonesia we want to hold back our answer on what our best show was :)
- Do you have any plans on touring Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia?
7. No. We really want to come though, but we need to find people who want to hire us, and a booking agent willing to sacrifice his or her good name in order to build us a bitchin' Southeast Asia/Indonesia tour! Do you know anyone?
- How would people be able to contact Real McKenzies?
8. People can contact the McKenzies via our website, www.realmckenzies.com, our myspace page, www.myspace.com/realmckenzies and our forum and fan page, http://z4.invisionfree.com/The_Real_McKenzies/index.php?act=idx, http://www.real-mckenzies.com/
