First Malaysian band to tour Great Britain
Penang-based band Paku is the first Malaysian band ever to tour the United Kingdom.
According to their record label, Deathstar Productions, they are:
- the 1st Malaysian Band to Ever do a UK Tour (February – March 2007)
- the 1st Malaysian Band to be on and do a LIVE Set on British National Radio (BBC Radio Wales)
- the 1st Malaysian Band to Ever do a show in Wales and Northern Ireland.
- the 1st Band ever to be allowed to be introduced on a Premiership football pitch and have one of their songs played at the same time. That song, Insomniac, has apparently been played at every league and European game at Newcastle United FC since February 2007.
Paku and Deathstar were promoted to over 5 million listeners on BBC Radio Wales and Northern Ireland’s City Beat.
According to their record label, the reception they got was very good, and that other bands should consider doing the same thing.
They were supposed to go on a European Tour in September 2007: I haven’t checked that one out.
