Биография

Combining the fuzzed out chaos of the “grunge” era with the pop sensibilities and catchyness of some of what has come since then, the Malaysian band Sweetass centres itself around the thoughtful, self aware and often humorous lyricism of frontman Alang Sekitar. The band dropped its freshman album “Wa Caya Lu” out of seemingly nowhere in March 2018; and has released two additional singles, Haruan Cina and Si Kiwi. As younger men in Kuala Lumpur, Sekitar, and guitarist Aki, have established themselves playing with previous outfits, notably Man Under Zero Effort, while bassist Azlan comes from a background of band and tour management and drummer Sungai comes all the way from the music scene in New Zealand. The bands considers touring, and especially playing outside Kuala Lumpur but within Malaysia, of enormous importance and they have been as far as Kuching and Kota Kinabalu in their 2019 Borneo Tour with fellow local alternative outfit Lust.
