| MTV World concert brings you the best music acts Posted: 23 Jul 2011 03:15 AM PDT MTV WORLD Stage Live In Malaysia 2011 is set to rock the house tomorrow at i-City in Shah Alam. The outdoor concert will be held for the third time in Malaysia in front of a live audience of about 15,000 fans. The concert this time is all about rocking out, what with the stellar lineup of international, regional and local recording artistes comprising Thirty Seconds To Mars, Neon Trees, BEAST and Pop Shuvit all pumped up to put on a fantastic show. The two-hour on air version of the concert will premiere on MTV SEA channel on Aug 8 at 10pm (Indonesia), 11pm (Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines) and midnight (Malaysia). An hour-long version of concert will also be broadcasted globally to 154 countries reaching more than 550 million households later in the year. It will be quite interesting to see how the different acts from different continents will entertain the crowd. Los Angeles-based American rock band 30 Seconds To Mars has played at many music festivals the world over, including Lollapalooza (United States), Summer Sonic (Japan) and Rock AmRing (Germany). Founded in 1998 by brothers Shannon Leto and Jared Leto, the band also comprises guitarist Tomo Milicevic and touring members bassist Matt McJunkins and keyboardist Braxton Olita. Like their name, Utah-based American alternative rock band Neon Trees are a combination of slick pop hoops and sturdy organic rock whose sound is themed with adolescent angst, longing, love lost and found, reminiscing the music of the '60s garage rock scene all the way to today's dance rock anthems. The six-piece boy band from South Korea, Beast, has established themselves as one of the top acts in the K-pop world since their debut in 2009. Originally known as B2ST (Boys to Search for Top), the group's name was changed to Beast (Boys of East Standing Tall), a couple of days before they debuted. On Oct 14, 2009, they released their first mini-album BEAST Is The B2ST on the same day they also held a showcase performance on MTV. With their unique blend of funky eclectic beats, hard hitting riffs and adrenaline-fuelled live shows, Pop Shuvit — Moots! (vocals), JD (guitar), AJ (bass), Rudy (drums) and Uno (turntables) — is undeniably Malaysia's best hip-hop/rock band. A truly multi-lingual and multi-cultural band, Pop Shuvit has five albums under their belt and has released tracks in numerous languages including English, Japanese, Malay, Tagalog, Thai and even Spanish. Their consistent and steady creative output also won them various accolades across the industry, including 10 Malaysian No. 1 radio hits, an MTV Asia Award nomination, a special achievement award (AIM Kembara) in 2008 & Best Music Video Oh Sizuka! last year at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM).
