BMTH live in Jakarta 2024

This time around Ravel gets it right and BMTH (Bring Me The Horizon) are headlining the Nexfest festival in Jakarta which also features Babymetal. In this format there is no seating - which makes for a much more intimate experience - although you do have to arrive really early if you want to pick a spot right up close to the stage.  We arrived about six hours before BMTH were scheduled to start their performance and bought plenty of drinks to stay hydrated in the tropical afternoon heat (mind you, some of those were Iceland vodka mix!)

Sasha Grey in Pocong Mandi Goyang Pinggul

In Indonesia her debut film is Pocong Mandi Goyang Pinggul. This has been translated, rather clumsily in my opinion, into “Shrouded Corpse Bathing While Hip-Shaking” – the most preposterous film title you are ever likely to come across.

Sasha Grey will raise more than a few concerns when her new film, Pocong Mandi Goyang Pinggul, is released in Indonesia on April 28.
