B'TRU Band not BEAT THRU

We successfully finished our 6 months stint at Crossroads Lounge, Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur on the 31st July 2011. 

And August 2011 is fasting month and we all decided not to take any contract but instead we played 4 nights gig at IP MAN BAR, TAMAN TUN DR.ISMAIL. We only perform from Wednesday to Saturday. Our last night performing there will be on 27 August 2011 (Saturday).

Owh ya, we also changed one of our band members (again)... this time we'd like to welcome Jhazmine De Silva. She's the youngest in the band and also she hails from Philippines. For those who doesn't know her, she is married to Allan Hugh De Silva, one of the manager working at Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur.... 

With the new member, from 30 AUGUST 2011 onwards, B'TRU BAND will be performing at PATIO, FIRST WORLD HOTEL, GENTING HIGHLANDS.

It is also the 1st day of HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, so we'd like to take this opportunity to wish our good friends and haters followers and also all our families, SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN. Since we'll be working on the 1st day of Hari Raya, hopefully that y'all remember us when y'all makan ketupat and rendang and all the kuih kuih raya! Huhuhu...

another story....

Some of you who doesn't know the history of the band, the word B'TRU comes from BREAKTHRU. We were previously known as BREAKTHRU when we were all FILIPINO band (except Nina) from the year 2000 till 2004. We shorten it to B'TRU when we changed our band members to all local MALAYSIANs (except James).

SO PLEASE REMEMBER, we are B'TRU not BEAT THRU.

Its just the same if your name is NINA but i call you NINJA TURTLE wtf!

HOPE TO SEE Y'ALL IN GENTING HIGHLANDS in SEPTEMBER 2011!

KBAI!
