IN a scene largely dominated by pop music, with trendy artistes and bands gaining popularity through infectious pop beats, other genres find it hard to rise above the mainstream noise and be heard by more music lovers.
In fact, styles such as folk and rock music are some of the least favourite among Malaysian youths.
Yet, indie bands that are producing unconventional beats still have their place. One such lineup is the psychedelic folk-rock infused group Billie Blue and the Nowhere Man.
Coming from a mixture of American and Malaysian roots, the group is made up of four members â Billie Blue Blackstone (vocals), Soheil Sanjabi (guitar and background vocals), Reuben Devanesan (drums and background vocals) and David Harding (bassist and background vocals).
Since its formation in 2015, the quartet has performed at several festivals across the country and released their debut album, Find Gold.
theSun spoke to Blackstone recently about their journey thus far as musicians and their latest single, Old Friend.
