Malaysian fans: KL is supposedly on the list of tour dates, as and when the information is released, we will let you know. We predict it may be held at the MCPA Hall or something along those lines.

ETA 25/11: Just as we’d guessed – they’ll be at MCPA Hall on the 8th.

Yep, they’ll be back in the coming months. The only dates in SEA currently scheduled are for Singapore and Manila. However, if and when other countries are also on the list later on, we will be sure to post updates. We expect Jakarta to be third SEA concert between Manila (12th) and Perth (15th), but we’ll see how that goes cos the schedule is starting to look a bit tight.

Dates: 10th February (Tuesday) & 12th February 2009 (Thursday)
Venues: MAX Pavilion @ Singapore & Araneta Coliseum @ Manila, Philippines
Tickets: TBA

Hey Monday will be supporting the band at these shows including the Japan/Australian/NZ dates.

Stay tuned for more info!
