Beacons of cool: After more than 20 years, American post rock outfit Tortoise, featuring (from left) John McEntire, Dan Bitney, Jeff Parker, Doug McCombs, and John Herndon, will finally be making a concert stop in Malaysia. The show takes place at Bentley Music Auditorium, Petaling Jaya in Selangor on May 14.
With two drummers, Midi vibes, guitars and synths, Tortoise is hardly slowing down on the musical front.
Nine years is a long time for a return visit to this region. But the buzz surrounding American post rock stalwarts Tortoise, which last played nearby at the Mosaic Music Festival in Singapore in 2005, is as strong as ever as the five-piece outfit readies up an Asian tour next week. The trek includes shows in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Taiwan.
