Influences
Most of all eachother. Love and life. movies, travelling, relationships etc. And lots of good music of 'course. But there is so much music in the world, that we can't mention just a couple of things, it would look silly and give you the wrong impression. So we don't mention anything.
Bittersweet began in mid-2004 with 2 members who had the same musical
interests. Both played in an Ipoh band before, and got to know each
other well during that time. Herri and Zabil occasionally met to hangout
and eventually decided to try their hand at writing music together. Both
heavily influenced by British music, the two decided to put their
heads together and record an EP, just for fun.
After the recording was completed Herri and Zabil distributed the
material for feedback, which was mainly positive. When Zabil joined the
Malaysian teaching force he had to quit the band, which left Bittersweet
with only one of its founding members. Determined not to abandon what
they started, Herri set about forming a complete line-up, particularly
considering they'd been invited by Pet Projects to perform at Couple's EP
launch. He enlisted Dinie as their bassist first of all, before adding
Hafiez (guitarist) to the line-up, Pijie as Bittersweet's vocalist
with Emai ..boards. Bittersweet finished recording their 2nd EP (Night
and Morning Tales) on November 2004. They?|ve been invited for shows
at PISA Penang on January 2005. The feedback of the 2nd EP and the shows
at Penang which were more massive than before. Bittersweet have been
invited for plenty of shows after that in KL and Penang.
Starting 2006, Bittersweet been received a rave reviews from the crowd
and people mostly in Klang Valley itself. Bittersweet finished
recorded their 1st single (A Perfect Match) on June 2006. The singles feedback was heavily impressive and the track A Perfect Match has been played in many radio stations such as Fly fm, Hot fm, Hitz.fm and Mix fm. They also had been invited to play for a show at Baybeats festival 2006. By the end of 2006, Bittersweet has launched their 1st debut album, Perfect Match, on 16th December 2006 during Rock The World 7. Two months later, after the album has released, they started for a tour around the country. The tour began at 10th April which the first place that they gonna rock was KLPAC, Kuala Lumpur. Then,they went to JB(11th March), Malacca(17th March), Penang(8th April), Ipoh(14th April) and the last place was Sarawak on 28th April. The tour was good and successful.
