This was a rock band that started out doing covers in the Kuala Lumpur pub circuit and managed to breakthrough with sheer determination. eventually opening up for their heroes such as The Killers, Death Cab for Cutie and Tenacious D in their home country. They progressed to doing their own tours in Malaysia and eventually Asia, building a loyal fanbase along the way.
