Allan will have a very limited touring and live activity after this tour and until the end of the first semester of 2013, with only sporadic and occasional gigs on the West Coast USA and NYC area in January and April and a possible Japan tour. Most likely no other tours/gigs to be booked for a while. (MGMT)

Check LIGRO, seminal jazz-rock trio from Indonesia (click on the photo to watch "Stravinsky" video)

LIGRO's international debut album DICTIONARY 2 available on MOONJUNE RECORDS.
Free shipping worldwide.
Imagine a band capable of fusing aspects of Jimi Hendrix, Robert Fripp, Buckethead, vintage Terje Rypdal and classic John McLaughlin. Picture such a band erupting from Indonesia and blessing the entire globe with their original stylings. You have Ligro, a power trio destined for international greatness. - MATT HOWARTH, SONIC CURIOSITY
Hamzah channels his inner Fripp ... the band reach Mahavishnu intensity levels ... torrents of blazing notes over an acrobatic rhythm section... jazz-rock / fusion / prog that lives on the edge ...- PETE PARDO, SEA OF TRANQUILITY
It's a surefire winner for anyone who digs on advanced guitar wielding, the fused arts, and a hot trio going at it with music that rises above the repetition of accepted formulas to make something very much new out of it all. - GREG EDWARDS, GAPPLEGATE GUITAR & BASS BLOG
... a sizzling prog power trio loaded to the eyeballs with chops and fire. Agam Hamzah plays guitar like a cross between Alan Holdsworth, Gary Boyle, James Ulmer, even a bit of Sonny Sharrock, and, hell, his damped Bach intro to Stravinsky sounds like Dave Stewart playing keyboards from the old hallowed Egg.... a sophisticated exploration of rock, jazz, and fusion morphing back and forth at will. - MARK TUCKER, FAME
... dancing round the beat are the almost lyrical drums and percussion of Gusti Hendi, who must surely be a Tony Williams fan. While no one member is the star of the show, Agam’s cliché-free guitar excursions which light up each song in sometimes obvious but usually unexpected flights of fancy are a pure delight. - ROGER TRENWITH, DPRP
Brilliant! Birds On Fire! 5 stars. - KONRAD NIEMIEC, PROGROCK POLAND
