Since late 1999, B-Quartet has been wandering. The band disregards genres and conventions in search for the proper musical language to express the ideals which they hold dear to their hearts. The language conveyed isn’t about being unconventional but about challenging conventions varying from songwritting to delivery.
Being winners of the 2002 Yamaha Asian Beat band competition, B-Quartet is made up of two pairs of brothers who happen to be cousins as well. They blend funk, jazz, metal and progressive rock into a blindingly tight set, reflecting their electric taste in music. Playing with a telepathic ability, their technical prowess on their instruments and their exquisite vocal harmonies have enchanted and mesmerized audiences, winning them fans everywhere they go.
They have been hailed as one of Singapore’s “most exciting live acts” by The Straits Time Life! music journalist Sujin Thomas in his article on B-Quartet in his Friday 6 May 2005 article.
Editor of online KL-based music site Think.com.my, Chris Crew votes B-Quartet as the best Singapore act for Baybeats 2007, “Expanding to a six-man lineup, B-Quartet’s bipolar collection of jazz-rock tunes haunted their way into total recall, particularly ‘Shoebox’ with its progressive swells and thoroughly gorgeous melody.”
