HISTORY and LIFE

The band 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 it's 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 Apis (guitarist) to the line-up, and Piji as Bittersweet's vocalist. With Emay on keyboards and Ayid from Harmacy as their sessionist drummer, the band played their next show at PISA in Penang. A fresh list of songs caught the attention of Cheong (Rush), who invited them to perform at their next show-also in Penang. Literally the breaking point of the band's history, this was a somewhat bigger event, "Beautiful Junk" in August 2005. Despite having an entirely new line-up with even newer, unheard of songs, Bittersweet played to rave reviews, and received many offers to perform at other shows from then on. The band has only recently completed their line-up, which we hope will be our last. Alang is enlisted to be the session as a drummer.

The Making Of Bittersweet - Big Black Hole

The Brightswiss Production is the one who have being responsible to create the Big Black Hole
music video and it was shoot on the month of August 2006. We start the production on zero budget and along side Me, Diela, Waniey, Fairus and Nazri have being fighting for Bittersweet band againts V.E and Jaclyn Victor. The music that they have created suits our style of music and I've being doing a little research about the influence that had such as the brit-rock/pop and retro style of their personality. Despite of what we have being thinking...the ideas to produce the Big Black Hole music video, we strive to make the video shoot. With the lack of crew and some arguments of ideas...finally we have succeed to finish the music video....but there's some ideas that the band disagree and I agree with them but can't blame no one...coz it's Director cuts....so I hope Bittersweet will be succeed in what ever they are fighting for and long live Bittersweet...just like what you guys being producing....
