Synopsis Date & Time
Synopsis

Formed by fellow skaters in midst of the ‘90s ska revival in Johor Bahru, Plague Of Happiness has long been a mainstay of Malaysia’s independent music scene. Blending the no-holds-barred attitude of punk rock with ska’s bright brass melodies, the band has garnered a loyal following thanks to their infectious tunes, bold lyricism and explosive live shows.

 

Their first album, KAWAN, was released in 2007 and quickly gained traction in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, resulting in the band releasing a second pressing of the record in 2009 due to its popularity. In 2016, Plague Of Happiness released their sophomore album TUNJAL and spent the year touring across their home country and in Asia, including Indonesia and Japan. The band continued to gain attention nationwide, releasing MASA in 2019 right before the pandemic.

 

In 2023, the band made their return with DOMINION, an album that pays homage to the resilience of the human spirit. This album also marked an expansion of the band’s sonic palette beyond ska, punk or reggae to hard and alt-rock, while still retaining the band’s signature brass lines. Returning to Esplanade and making their Baybeats debut at the Powerhouse²  stage, Plague Of Happiness is ready to get you skanking and yelling “Oi!” with their passionate, high-energy live performance!
