Yes, one of the most advanced 4G networks in the world, announced the launch of “Yes Artist of the Month” last week, a program crafted to give up-and-coming independent local musicians and bands a platform to showcase their talent. Independent talent will be handpicked to play live at the Yes Flagship Store in Lot 10 on a regular basis.

Yes organised a pilot showcase in July 2011 that featured eclectic local independent band Pesawat. Due to overwhelming and encouraging response the showcase garnered, the 4G operator decided to make the event a regular fixture to pro-actively promote Malaysia’s thriving independent music scene.

“Yes Artist of the Month” kicked off last Saturday, February 18 at the Yes Flagship Store in Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur where the talented Liyana Fizi and indie band the Azenders performed.

Entry to the showcase is free for everyone. For more information on “Yes Artist of the Month” visit www.yes.my.
