Last week we attended the launching of Oh Chentaku’s (OCK) latest album, Young hearts which was held at Black Box, Publika. Nothing much can be written here about the launching besides the fact that it was everything a rock show should be. The crowd and the band were engaged as one. Fist up in the air as the crowd were singing and screaming along. Mosh pits broke out. Crowd surfing. Sweat dripping from t-shirts. PERFECT.
The band started writing this album in 2012. And during the year of 2013, they were called to join the TV9 reality TV programme called VERSUS 2, which shot them to fame. Although they did not win VERSUS 2, they were revered as one of the most outstanding bands of the competition. After VERSUS 2, they focused back their attention on completing the album and beginning of this year, they did a Semenanjung tour to promote their album and finally ending the tour at Black Box, Publika where they officially launched the album.
During the album, the stage was graced by other artist like Altimet, Yasmin Matthews from the band Maddthelin, Sanjay from the band Azure For Janne, Dasha Logan, and last but not least, Wak Doyok, who came up to sing a song from Anuar Zain. Peep the gallery above to have a look at the pics of what went down during the launch.
