Hello everyone and salam to our muslim members.

I know I've been saying this over and over and over and over again and I might bore you with all the the apologies during the past months but yes I have to say it again now. On behalf of the team, we are terribly sorry for everything. honestly saying this site has been out-dated for quite awhile. but mind you for those who said that LTR's dead. not really though. in a way it looks dead but it's actually still around. only that we are trying our best to keep this thing alive for years to come and to meet our fans needs. with our work power (3 person) running LTR at the moment and due to commitments and responsibilities outside LTR management are really high, we are unable to actually come up with long term solutions. not yet. but we're still trying our best. We thank each and every members who has been contributing a lot to this website via chat box, blog post, videos, etc so that it doesn't look 'dead'. we appreciate your support on this. To the others outside LTR, thanks for all the support as we had some interesting feedbacks from others and we took that into account. But yes, please do understand. I can assure everyone that LTR will be around for a very long time as it has been around for 5 years.

Thank you and a happy ramadhan to all the muslims.

Best Wishes,

Mann.

Hello to all members and visitors of LTR.

first of all to start things of, we would like to wish everyone a happy new year (I know it's late already but what the heck) and we wish all local bands all the best for 2010 may you have achieve success for this new year. Sorry again for the lack of updates regarding the local music scenes as the people in LTR's management are quite busy for the past few months with studies and workloads so we don't really have much time to catch up with the local music scenes. But nonetheless, since this is the new year we'll try our best to make things happen. To start things of, is by frequently updating this website.

And by this, we would like to thank everyone especially the members of LTR for the support during the past few years and thank you so much with the contributions in form of videos, blog post and forums. LTR salute you.

As you all know (some atleast) VIMA2010 is just around the corner. even though it is not a local music event but one of our local band was nominated for the most electrifying-Exciting-Exhilarating LIVE Act VIMA2010, but sadly they didn't won. From LTR to DHask, don't give up guys. At least you guys got nominated. Try again and just to let you know that we got your back and we'll support you all the way.

LTR as well would like to take this opportunity to thank BIM (Brunei's Independent Music)for their support and all those information regarding local music scenes especially to Rita. All the best BIM!

Finally, again we wish everyone a Happy new year.
Best Regards.

Mann

First of all, we would like to apologize to everyone for no recent updates since April and we are truly sorry for that. This is because there is actually not much events going on for the past few months other than private performances. We received a lot of feed backs during the past few months which to us is something that we need to focus on right now and LTR's now trying to re-organize everything to meet viewer's demands and needs.

To start things off, on the forum section there's a discussion entitled Suggestions. Viewers could drop their thoughts there on what should LTR do to meet the viewers demands.

As for update, here's something that you guys should look out for.

Greetings to all members. First of all, we would like to apologize to all the members for the lack of updates. The reason being is that the administrators were busy gathering and finding some informations on what's going on in the local music (bands) industry currently.

Cool. we got that one covered. To start things of. Lets talk about bands. Well, a lot of people asked us "where's the gig?" "nada gig lagi kah?" "No more live bands?". Well, here's the answer to all of your answers. Actually, most bands in Brunei nowadays, they only do performance for private parties. For example, like birthday parties.

There's this one band, LTR watched them performed live a few times already and they have this potential to be one of best bands in Brunei. The band consist of 5 members, Keem (Bassist), Yean (vocals), Zul (Lead guitarist), Ashf (2nd Guitarist, keyboardist) and Nurul (drummer). They call themselves, Thermal Collision. correct me if im wrong guys. The admins actually saw them performed a few times and we have to say that they are very good. With concepts and influenced by evanescence and the showmanship they have, they seriously kick ass. Check them out. The vocalist have some videos of her singing at youtube. check it out :D

Pjul, Nurul, Ashf, Yean, Zul and Keem

2nd update will be about RD recordings. Want to know about RD recordings? well, you guys have to wait for the next post while we gather all the information and publish it.

`spread the love for our local bands

noreply@blogger.com (Mann) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:56:00 +0000

To all members of LTR,

As the management said before, due to the main objective of this site is to support our local bands, we would like to remind all members not to post/upload unrelated videos, songs, etc such as international bands, other genres (RnB, hiphop, etc) or anything related. And we would like to inform all members that there should not be any Anti-groups (bands, genre, people, etc) as this may lead to arguments and dissatisfaction among members.

Take note that if the admin found those above mentioned (unrelated songs, videos, etc), we will immediately delete or ban it from the website as it is against our objectives and reasons for creating this site. Videos or songs of Local Bands playing cover songs are most welcome to be uploaded.

Thank you for your cooperation and a Happy Eid Mubarak to all members. LTR Management would like to wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf, Zahir dan Batin.

LTR Management
