Most Promising and up and coming band in KL


This post is for the people in Kuala Lumpur to start recognizing talent. This band featured her is the most promising acts to come out from Malaysia in a long time.

They currently are typically a cover band which cover great hit by a variety of rock legend and most of the time give the song an original twist which will send anyone just BEYOND AWESOME. Mostly the badn comprises of the basic 5 members which you can see in this photo. However there are also some other brilliant solo act who collaborate with the band because of mutual respect which they share for each others talents and reputation. However the best part of the band is that they just solely play for love of music and have chosen to stay low profile and stay true to their cause.


Their impromtu renditions are beyond compared. Below is the a photo from one of their photoshoot which they reluctantly took because it goes against their principles but still did it totally for charity to Aunty Shop in TTDI Kiara View Condos.


Below you will also find brief profiles of the member.... ROCK ON....


FRIDAY NITE JAM (FNJ)

Lead Vocals
Thrishen "Rap Supastar" Kumareshh

After a brief stay in England, he has tremendously improved his vocal ranges and adaptive power. No one can rap quite as hard as this man here and at the same time switch straight away to a sweet melodic voice that will make fucking songbird jealous. Some of his influences can be contributed to the likes of Mike Shinoda and Bob Marley.

Lead Guitarist

Nishant the 36 incher

Nishant who whose background is a shroud of mystery mostly loves playing some rock classics but can also have a lighter tone to his playing styles when he cover the backstreet boy and also some RnB Songs that will throw his fans off. However the most captivating part of any of his performances in his mouth solo which each and every time the crowd begs for. However, this guys skill is not just with his magic fingers but also with his deep masculine voice when he also sings. Most notable performace would have to be by far his rendition of Hero originally by Enrique Inglesias.

Back Up Guitarist

Praveen "Slashveen" Sudesh

Another natural gifted member of the band who with ease can charm the socks of the crowd with his wit and humor and impromtu lyrics for any situation. Most brialliant when coupled with when he and the 36 incher get into the solo sessions which can send people in trance like states and feel unparaleled euphoria. The way this guy moves his finger effortlessly over his guitar will make most of the guitaring world envious. Most notable influence would have to be Joe Santriani and Slash.

Bass And Percussions

Mohd "Mamak" Ikram

This guy is more known for his contribution on the percussions than his bass. His passionate displays of almost trance like performances have gained him populurity beyond most musicians dreams. He is known to just get so caught up in the moment that he overshadows everyone when the time comes. Most influenced by the life of Bob Marley

Drums and Back Up Vocals

Christian "Axl" Dinesh

This guy is the most erractic of the group. His drum skill are mostly unneeded in the band because of the brilliant performances by mamak, so he mostly sings back up behind Thrishen. However, he is really mostly known for his temparamental atttitude which need lots of pushing and booze to perform for anyone. most notable influenced will have to Axl Rose

This is basically the line up for FNJ but occasionally there are some additional artist who come to collaborate with this beyond awesome band. Some of the more notable collaborators will have to be Dyll "Barack" Rohan and Komeshh "Vainpot" Vaishnavi(WHo is Slashveen gf)
