“Their energy and hearing them sing to every word of our song made the whole journey across SEA such a bittersweet moment given how far we have come as a band. Being able to see them in person or their creations on social media has honestly been one of the important driving factors in why we continue to put out our work as a band. We really look forward to having a sold out concert one day in Malaysia.” said band members Reece Bibby, Blake Richardson and George Smith.
Local favorites Insomniacks opened the showcase and performed with three of their songs including their mega-popular hit “Sempurna”.

“I’m very proud of the boys’ success in Malaysia and the love their fans have shown them over the years. It’s an incredible sight to see everyone come out all the way to Sunway Pyramid, sing to their songs word for word and even have cute posters up for them – Makes me look forward to more shows from Universal Music Malaysia to organize.” said Kim Lim.
