Reggae band Steven & Coconut Treez have been channelling their groovy sounds from Indonesia to the world since they formed. Their first album The Other Side shifted 500,000 units in Indonesia alone–a formidable feat for such a niche genre. Their song 'Welcome To My Paradise' hit the global wall of sound, bombarding over 60 countries and earning them success with shows in Japan and Papua New Guinea.
Needless to say, Steven & Coconut Treez are one of the iconic reggae bands of the 21st Century. And thanks to event organiser Mosic Works, the band are finally coming to Malaysia to perform a gig with ten other local music acts!
The gig happens on Saturday 29 November at Cap Square in KL city with Steven & Coconut Treez supported by local bands Bittersweet, Republic of Brickfields, Redemption, Pure Vibracion, Plague of Happiness, Whimsical, Rivernation, Priority, Skudap Skudip and Maddame. There will be freebies for the first 500 early birds and a variety of booths selling wares too, so come for the chilled out fun.
And here's a taster before the gig:

This gig has let down not only fans who paid for entry, but also the press and media.
tu la suruh pergi RTW tak nak...padan muka hahaha
The event was a total let down. Arrived at 2.30pm, started at 6pm.
But, it's not Bittersweet's fault man. If they organisers allowed them to play their full set, why not?
By starting at 6pm, the organisers should have known better and limit all the bands to either 2-3 songs, and force the bands to just plug n play.
I really sympathize to everyone who paid RM45 for the event, even for RM20, it's a total waste of money, and time (we could have done much more productive things in the 4 hours).
This is a setback and disgrace to the local music scene. Would Steven & Coconuttreez be willing to come back again and play in KL after this disaster? Imagine, flying from Jakarta (not to mention practicing for the event beforehand), and to play only 2 songs for the fans? That sucks man, even if they got paid.
And, pity ROB as well. They got on stage, ready to be played, only to be kicked out.
