"Cheer"—Neung Phak

From The Believer, the June/July 2006 music issue:

Recorded at the Ivy Room in Albany, Calif., live to two-track DAT. Based in large part on a handheld cassette recording done in 2000 by two Neung Phak members in Bangkok, Thailand: a local bar band, called the Lucky Band, performing their hearts out to a tiny audience with this tune.

Beats the Numa Numa song all to hell. I found the MP3.
