KUALA LUMPUR, August 24 – The well-loved Indonesian rock band from the 90s – Ungu – is back! Fans may expect their soulful performance including hit songs ‘Demi Waktu’, ‘Tercipta Untukku’, ‘Andai Ku Tahu’, ‘Kekasih Gelapku’ and many more. Acclaimed for soul-stirring singing, Ungu’s last visit in Malaysia was in 2017. After 5 years, Ungu is slated to return for Malaysia live concert on 19th November in conjunction with the band’s 26th anniversary. So, fellow Ungu fans, expect nothing lesser than emotional, heart-piercing love songs!
Founded in 1996, Ungu comprises vocalist Pasha, guitarists Enda and Oncy, bassist Makki, and drummer Rowman. In 2005, Ungu’s zealous album ‘Melayang’ was well-received as a huge success, which put them on the list of international superstars and gained tremendous popularity in Indonesia and across Asia. Their original recordings in 2006, including single ‘Demi Waktu’ and studio album ‘Melayang’ were widely broadcasted on radio stations in Indonesia and Malaysia as they emerged as a well-known rock band.
They were nominated for the ‘Best Music Group’ in MTV Asia Music Awards the same year. Indeed, Ungu spent 10 years to successfully forge their name into the mainstream music scene in Malaysia. In 2015, Ungu released their 7th studio album ‘Mozaik’, which sold more than 200,000 copies, and won a platinum recording award. Later in the same year, lead vocalist Pasha announced his political endeavour and was elected as the Deputy Mayor of Palu, Central Sulawesi. Enda and Oncy took over the vocalist positions during that time, and the band remained active despite being significantly sedentary.
Finally, 3 years later, Pasha reunited with the band members after his office term ended in 2018 and he proclaimed the return of Ungu. Soon after that, the veteran rock band officially embarked on their 20th Anniversary Concert Tour to repay their fans’ overwhelming support throughout the years.Organised by Star Planet, Ungu’s 26th Anniversary Live in Malaysia will be held on 19th November 2022, 8.30 p.m. at the STAR Convention and Exhibition Centre, Menara PGRM in Kuala Lumpur.
