Wavelength: Glam Rock Revisited

For classic rock fans in Malaysia, the late 80s and early 90s can be fondly remembered as the height of glam rock. A significant period in local rock music popularised by groups like Wings & Search, the scene died instantly when 'rockers' were ordered to trim off their long hair in a morality conflict. Ali Johan goes up to Ipoh to have a chat with filmmaker Mamat Khalid, director of glam rock inspired movies Rock & Rock Oo, revisiting his days of big hair, tight leather pants and the screechy high notes from that era.
