Japan's LOUDNESS metal band tours Malaysia this November 2019

Official Venue The Bee Publika KL spokesperson, Rahul Kukreja expressed that this will be a first-of-its-kind concert in the capital city by Loudness in an intimate setting, giving music fans a chance to get up close to the legendary 35-year old metal band’s live performance. Akira is known for his amazing fingerwork on the lead guitar, and it will be a chance in a lifetime to enjoy the band in this setting.
LOUDNESS’ Rise to Glory Tour hits KL right after their Hong Kong show next month.


Founded in 1981, LOUDNESS toured North America and Europe in 1983 and made history the following year as the first Japanese band to sign with an international record label, Atlantic Records. They were also the first Japanese act to play at the prestigious Madison Square Garden and opened for a Motley Crue concert. Their first international release Thunder In The East (1985) and the single “Crazy Nights” peaked at #4 in Japan and #74 on the US Billboard charts for 19 weeks!
LOUDNESS lost its original drummer Munetaka Higuchi at the age of 49 in 2008, so to keep his spirit alive, the band recruited new drummer Masayuki Suzuki. Today, LOUDNESS is Akira Takasaki (Guitar), Minoru Niihara (Vocals), Masayoshi Yamashita (Bass) and Masayuki Suzuki (Drums).

Concert promoter Lampuneon is no stranger to the music scene, with a list of successes having brought Swedish neo-classical metal guitarist Yngwie malmsteen for his only Asian show to Kuala Lumpur in 2018, with upcoming shows in December 2019 by Halestorm, an American rock band from Pennsylvania (Atlantic Records) and Anthrax in April 2020.

Doppelganger Indie Picks: Y2K (MALAYSIA) meets Superman is Dead (INDONESIA)

Here we go again with Doppelganger Indie Picks. Each time, we select one local and one foreign artiste to share with you. This edition, we are shaking with excitement as we reintroduce two punk acts, both of whom have been around for quite some time. Whilst our Balinese counterpart, Superman is Dead enjoys a fan base of over 5million on Facebook, the other closer to home (we're speaking of Ampang in Kuala Lumpur) has an insignificant amount of but in our opinion, have the promise of being a really really really (as my Italian friend Valentina says) a smashing big band! So the long and short is, the Malaysian band Y2K has been established since the early 2000s and is about to release it's second album. How many albums did Sex Pistols release?
