KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — Performing ‘live’ the best way for artists and musicians to promote their music and showcase their talents.

Most performers would prefer ‘live’ shows in more conventional venues such as event spaces or a stadium.

For the more adventurous, and creative — there's going against the norm and picking out more unconventional stages and backdrops.

Over the last few years, artists from Indonesia and Malaysia have opted to showcase their ‘live’ performances in more unique settings.

Indonesian band Good Morning Everyone’s ‘live’ on a boat session

Local punk rock band No Good deserves a spot in the list especially for their 2022’s Punk Gong tour across peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.

From small boiler room venues to open air sheds to rocking out in the middle of Bukit Bintang — the Punk Gong tour had it all.

The band had also made a documentary on their debut tour which was shared on Youtube in collaboration with Vans Malaysia.

One of the highlights of the documentary was the band’s show in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, where they performed at an open air shed in the middle of a rubber estate.

According to their vocalist and guitarist Smek Almohdzar said that it was one of their most memorable shows they’ve done.

"Kuala Pilah I think it's something that is incomparable, nothing could recreate such a moment,” he said in the documentary.

No Good wrapped up their Punk Gong tour by throwing a last minute, free show in the middle of Bukit Bintang, in front of Pavilion KL in conjunction with the Vans Sidewalk Session after having to cancel their last show which was supposed to be in Cherating, Pahang.

The show took KL by storm with a massive fan turnout which created a buzz on social media.
