ABOUT BUNKFACE



What started as casual jamming sessions among four secondary school friends ended up forming a band, Bunkface, that is now widely known as a rising star in the local music scene. Although the band was formed in 2005, it was only in late 2006 when they caught the attention of the public through their participation in the hit TV show Blastoff. The year 2006 proved to be an exciting one for Bunkface. One of the highlights of their experience as fresh young musicians happened in March 2006 when Bunkface won first place for the Battle of the Bands competition in UNISEL organized by ROTTW. Winning the competition opened a door for Bunkface to be featured in a magazine for the very first time.

Another sweet success came later that year when Bunkface snatched first place for the Battle of the Bands competition in Universiti Malaya. With that accomplishment, Demoplanet.tv approached Bunkface and offered to sponsor a video clip for the song Hyper Killer. After garnering a truckload of new experiences, Bunkface began writing more and more new songs. In December 2007, Bunkface released their first EP titled “Lesson of the Season” featuring 6 English tracks with a taste of pop-punk and alternative rock. Fast forward to the present, Bunkface have been featured in ROTTW and interviewed on air numerous times on XFresh FM and Fly FM.

They were also interviewed and featured on Era Sentral and The Wknd Sessions. Their first hit song Silly Lily was number 1 on Hitz.fm’s Malaysian Top Ten for 8 weeks and number 1 on Fly.fm’s Campur Chart for 10 weeks. Bunkface’s current hit and first Malay single Situasi has stormed to number 1 on XFresh FM and steadily stayed at number 3 on Era FM for 3 weeks. The band has performed at high school proms, charity events, product launchings, dinner galas, and gigs covering venues all around the Klang Valley, Malacca, Perak, Penang, Johor, Sarawak and Singapore. Bunkface was the opening band for Fly FM 3rd Anniversary showcase, and their very first large scale gig proved to be a success. It is no wonder that their catchy tunes coupled with their addictively energetic and fun filled performances have captured the attention of the masses and event organizers alike!

Gossip: Rakaman Bunkface di Anugerah Filem Pendek Astro Kirana Dibuat Semula

Walaupun majlisnya serba sederhana, namun kontroversi tetap meletus di Anugerah Filem Pendek Astro Kirana yang telah berlangsung semalam. Persembahan dari artis undangan yang menarik dan ada yang biasa-biasa. Saya kira, Aizat, Stacy dan Meet Uncle Hussain telah menerima tepukan gemuruh dari penonton.

Dalam banyak-banyak persembahan, saya ada dengar desas-desus, kononnya persembahan Bunkface terpaksa dibuat rakaman semula kerana pemakaian tidak menepati garis panduan. Apa yang telah dipakai oleh Bunkface semalam? Haa, korang tengok gambar ini dulu, kemudian buat tafsiran… apa yang tak kenanya?


Apa yang saya dengar dari orang dalam, menyatakan rakaman perlu dibuat semula untuk mengelakkan dari pemotongan persembahan mantap dari Bunkface untuk lagu Situasi itu. Khabarnya, tanduk itu menyerupai tanduk Satan! Mmm, fikir-fikirkan.
