Electro-pop outfit Tenderfist is revving up its career with newly recorded material and a broader fan-base.

AT a recent edition of the Deer Society’s indie dance night in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the hipster masses proved that homegrown electro-pop has hit a nerve when the deejay dropped Tenderfist’s new single This Wasted Heart during the party’s business end. It literally swept the crowd into a singalong frenzy. It was also a rare case of clubbers grooving to – and turning – a local indie act’s single into a word-of-mouth anthem.
