Swinging to the sounds of Fazz

All together now: Musical pop outfit Fazz, comprising (from left) Yeoh, Farouq, Cho and Kevin, offers a sound rarely heard in bands here.

Going against the grain doesn't get as much credit as it used to. But thankfully, in some spheres, appreciation still exists, even if that slice of the pie is diet-friendly.

Seriously, what would possess a band to record an album’s worth of music that straddles the divide between vaudeville and swing... and expect to find an audience? Did someone forget to tell the outfit they’re in Malaysia, where, largely, generic R&B and adulterated rock proliferate?
