Malaysia’s very own power-pop sensation, Couple is set to make waves in the UK this March, thanks to the awesome people at KNUKE (Kugiran Negara ke UK Enterprise). In 2008, KNUKE flew Hujan to the UK, to perform for the Malaysian community there especially the students, where they had shows around Liverpool, Cardiff, Manchester & Sheffield. The following year, Estrella and SevenCollar T-shirt were chosen for the event. This time, they even had a camera crew from 8TV to shoot a rockumentary of their UK tour and were also sponsored by Air Asia X for the trip. The shows were successful and the demand for Malaysian bands to perform in the UK proved to be very encouraging. Realizing this and the amount of talent we have right here in Malaysia, KNUKE is now bringing Couple to the UK starting 19th March 2010 to 29th March 2010. And once again, they will be flying to the UK courtesy of Air Asia X.
KNUKE has officially booked 3 shows for Couple in London, Manchester and Liverpool. In addition to these shows, Couple has also managed to get themselves 2 extra shows during their stay there. The first one will be at the Dirty Water Club night, followed by another at a small pub called The Windmill. Both venues carry rocking reputations and have had bands like Bloc Party, The White Stripes, Shonen Knife and The Monks (to name a few) perform there.
So, if you happen to be in Britain this March or have friends and family there, please help spread the news. Catch Couple rock it out at these venues:
