Firstly, we would like to give a massive shoutout to Julia Zave for allowing us to use the awesome photo she took which now serves as our sidebar header image. The original image had the exact vibe we were after for the site, so we thank you for that!

Secondly, the announcement will be postponed until further notice due to circumstances beyond our control but we will inform you of it eventually.

The new MTGH also sees some new features being added to the site, find out more and read all about it in this blog entry.

There have been several updates since you last heard from us and here’s what’s new on MTGH (bear in mind we still have more to add in time to come):

• Interview with Oh, Hush!
  In mid January, we were fortunate enough to have interviewed the band and you can read the transcript here.

• Reviews – PWD & JM
  We were at the Parkway Drive, Jason Mraz and Fall Out Boy shows in KL and Singapore respectively, read about them here (FOB’s to be posted later). Once again, we thank Karen from Ceasefire Records and Shaz from Midas Promotions for their assistance.

• MTGH Contest
  Finally, innit? We’re giving away a Hopeless Records/Sub City Records CD sampler and would like you to win it! Check out the contest section for all the details.

• Videos
  Visit our YouTube channel to view videos shot at the Fall Out Boy and Jason Mraz concerts! There are also videos from Hey Monday who were supporting FOB, so be sure to check those out, too.We still have a bunch more to add, give us some time and they will all be uploaded soon.

• MTGH Concert Survey Results
  You took the survey and we’ve tabulated the results. Read it here.

• Updated Pages
  Most of the pages had its contents undergo a major update. Some retain portions of the old, others have been completely redone (e.g. About Us, History, Credit etc) and there have also been new ones added (e.g. FAQ, Disclaimer etc) so be sure to check them all out as there is new information amongst them all.
