Live Fact KL
Hiperson Live in Malaysia. 2 June 2024 at Live Fact KL.
For the last 5 years or so, buzz has been growing about Hiperson from Chengdu, China, known for its dark, melodic post-punk musical outputs and perhaps more importantly – features one of the most compelling female vocalists seen in years. Hiperson (海朋森) is a five-piece indie rock/post-punk/post-rock band formed in 2012 from Chengdu, China. The members are Wang Boqiang (drums), Huang Rentao (bass), Li Yinan (guitar), Chen Sijiang (vocals) and Liu Zetong (guitar). After their iconic debut “No Need For Another History” and 2018 follow-up “She Came Back From the Square”, the band returned with their third studio album “Bildungsroman” released in 2020. Recorded in Germany and touted as their best so far by reviewers, this 10-track album is a sonic journey into their psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood. Local bands Sweetass and Seru will be joining the bill. Tickets https://www.cloudjoi.com/shows/hiperson-live-in-malaysia-w-sweetass-seru
