The superband from Los Angeles, LANY recently played a show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the third time with their ‘a november to remember’ Tour.
LANY stans were treated to hit after hit, a brand new song, Congrats that has become a crowd favourite, A LOT of interaction from the band’s lead vocalist, Paul Klien and some unexpected moments.
The band began their Asia tour last month and has already performed in Tokyo, Taipei and Bangkok before arriving in Malaysia. While they were in KL, we had the chance to hang out with the band before the concert and here’s how the conversation went…
How do you feel being back in Malaysia and what do you miss most about Malaysia since you were last here?
Paul: The crowds are always really, really special. So loud, which is the one thing we absolutely love. We love the crowd participation which makes for a better show and we did like a little meet and greet and soundcheck today and it was already like the loudest meet and greet and soundcheck of the tour so far, so we’re really excited.
Jake: And I know that Malaysia has Paul’s favorite palm trees.
Paul: That’s true! The terrain here is stunning.
Jake: Yeah, everytime we get here we’re like “Oh yeah, it’s beautiful here”
For tonight, what’s the song you’re most excited to perform for your Malaysian fans?
Paul: We have a new song called ‘Congrats’ that will be on the new album and it’s very big, and very loud. The words will also be on the screen so it encourages people to like to sing along. It’s a very sing-a-long-esque type of song, kind of like a lot of our songs. But the song is fun and Jake sounds awesome on the drums on it.
Jake: That is going to be- yeah, I’m so excited to see how crazy people are going to go tonight. Because we are going to be rocking up there and we’re excited to see them rocking out there too.
We’re just starting the month of November, but what is something you’ll remember this November?
Paul: This tour, for sure. And every city that we’re going to, these are our biggest shows in Asia ever. So, obviously we’re going to remember this forever. I think there’s a stadium next door to here, we’ve got our eyes on that. That’s where we want to play next. This tour, for sure.
Jake: Yeah, none of this goes unnoticed to Paul and myself. We were sitting down, I think it was yesterday and we said to each other “We can’t believe we get to play to this many people in Asia. We’re really far away from Los Angeles so it's really, really cool. We’re really excited.
Palm trees… Paul loves our palm trees! How cute.
The boys were fantastic and it was awesome getting to meet them! We can’t wait for them to come back to KL because we miss them already.
