Topman Presents Spector Live In Malaysia @ Stage KL, Avenue K, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur (6/10/12)
When: 8.00pm, Saturday, 6th October, 2012
Universal Music Malaysia and TOPMAN are pleased to announce ‘SPECTOR – LIVE IN MALAYSIA’ on Saturday, 6th October 2012 at STAGE Club, Avenue K. Set to bring their indie-chic style and signature tunes to town, the show follows the success of their addictive singles - ‘Chevy Thunder’, ‘Celestine’, ‘Never Fade Away’ and their #1 debut album ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts’! The opening act will be performed by Twilight Action Girl (TAG).
“Following on from their headline ‘Spectour’ shows, which culminated in a sold out show at London’s Electric Ballroom, support slots with Florence + The Machine and triumphant appearances at the legendary Coachella festival, Spector are set to take their unique collection of 21st Century torch songs to Malaysia.”
“Topman has earned its sartorial stripes with an unswerving and energetic approach to producing truly exciting high-street men's fashion. Driving trends forward while shifting the way men approach shopping, the brand's attitude to creating brilliant, affordable and authoritative menswear is second to none.”
TOPMAN will be rewarding their Fashion Fast Forward members a pair of showcase tickets with every purchase of RM200 and above in a single receipt exclusively at TOPMAN Mid Valley Megamall and Suria KLCC.
*Limited tickets available! Admission is strictly for those aged 18 and above.
About Spector
Inspired by the early-2000s garage rock of the Strokes, the new romantic sounds of Roxy Music, and the anthemic indie pop of the Killers, sharp-suited London five-piece Spector were hailed as one of the flagging U.K. guitar band scene's last big hopes when they emerged on the scene in 2011. Formed by ex-MTV presenter Fred Macpherson, who'd previously fronted indie also-rans Les Incompetents and proggy doom merchants Ox. Eagle. Lion. Man., and guitarist Christopher Burman, who had also appeared in the former, the band was later joined by bassist Thomas Shickle, keyboardist Jed Cullen, and drummer Danny Blandy, and after honing its sound at an East London snooker club, began performing across the capital's live circuit. Initially named Spectre, after the terrorist organization in the James Bond films, they decided to change the spelling in honor of the maverick producer after discovering their original moniker had already been taken. After releasing their debut single, Never Fade Away, they signed a deal with Fiction Records and went on to appear on the Introducing Stage at the Reading/Leeds Festival, support Kaiser Chiefs on their U.K. tour, and receive their first mainstream exposure on Later...with Jools Holland. In 2012, they were short-listed for the prestigious BBC Sound Of... poll, toured with Florence + the Machine, and recorded their debut album, scheduled for release later in the year.
