History
Not to be mistaken for members of Greenpeace, Kyoto Protocol are a five-piece outfit based in Malaysia who kickstarted a renaissance of Rock & Roll in Malaysia. It was formed by a core of long-time friends who decided to see how far they could go as musicians. Since their humble beginnings playing covers in local bars in 2009, the band reached a turning point when they unexpectedly won 2nd place in the Yamaha Asian Beat Malaysian Finals. It was not long until they got heads turning and ears listening with their no-holds-barred amalgamation of punk, rock and roll when they opened for MGMT’s maiden KL concert.
In 2011, the band released its debut album which was aptly titled "An Album". This release was a local success as singles "Pussycat" and "Never Know" clinched the number 1 spot on various radio charts on the Malaysian airwaves. The success of "An Album" snowballed when the band was nominated for "Best New Artist" in Anugerah Industri Muzik 2011. This was soon followed by another nominated for "Breakout Award" in the Shout Awards 2012.
