Hello everyone and salam to our muslim members.

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.
