K E M B A L I confirmed to be in store across Malaysia by 080808 (Tue, 22 Jul.)
With all this hype, everyone is talking about the album, the 'tarikh keramat' 060708, the slight delay, more delay, the silent, etc...(it kinda make all of us feel nervous here).
Now is the time,, we are ready and proud to present you K E M B A L I the album confirmed will be in all retail outlets across Peninsula Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Brunei by 080808 (another 'tarikh keramat' but no more 'tarikh keramat' after this for sure).
The delay is due to some technical difficulties we were facing during the process of mixing (bug spotted), few changes on the album cover, solving our digital rights issues and reorganize the way to distribute it BIG in mass market.
Other major causes are the issues on fuel price (kinda hard to compromise the consumers price between us & retailers), some local silly stuff you hate to know happened in this country where we don't want it to affect the album release direct or indirectly and our vocalist unfortunately was admitted to the hospital due to appendicitis.
To be honest, we just cant handle this problem. Its like a plaque exist suddenly in the process of releasing the album and it effects everything from one to one another.
Any inconvenience mention above are deeply regretted. And we THANK you guys a lot again because are still there waiting for this physical k e m b a l i to come out with full patience.

A beginning of a tale:
In 1991, Loque (Khairil Ridzwan Anuar), and his MCKK schoolmate, Kadak (Mohd Fakharudin Mohd Bahar), discovered they had a passion for music that went beyond the usual rounds of gigging and jamming sessions. Forming what was then known as Loque’s Tail, Loque and Kadak, together with a few MCKK friends, started producing their own material, with the hopes of making a name for themselves in the Malaysian music scene.
It was while jamming in K.L during 1993 at Black Widow Studios that they bumped into Emmett (Emmett Roslan Ishak), who was there jamming (as guitarist) with his band at that time, Grunge Dayz. Impressed with what he saw, Loque challenged Emmett to a ’jamming showdown’, after which they mutually decided to join forces, skills and creativity, to form their own band, and brand of music.
After meeting up with drummer Kalai (Khairul Nizam Mois) later that year, b u t t e r f i n g e r s was officially born by the end of 1993, ready to take Malaysia by storm. And with the final line up of Loque (songwriter, guitarist), Emmett (vocals, guitar, strings and lyricist), Kadak (bass) and Kalai (drums), b u t t e r f i n g e r s hit the underground gig scene with such vengeance that had most of their shows sold out and described today as ‘the stuff of underground legends’.
With four demos to their name, 1994’s two tracked Girl Friday and Nicc O’ Tynne (which remain among their most requested hits today), 1995’s 7 tracks 12 Goats, 6 Oranges and 2 Angels, the 8 tracked Butter Couldn’t Melt, and Dragon later that year, b u t t e r f i n g e r s had reached out as far as they could to the underground scene, and it was time for the boys to take their music up and beyond.
With Loque writing all songs, Emmett on lyrics and deciding that co-production rights should be completely Butterfingers, they set about taking on the rest of the Malaysian music scene. Heavy on drums, ripping riffs on guitars, deep bass and with angst ridden screeching vocals, they took on the Seattle Grunge scene and added their own local Malaysian flavor, introducing the Malaysian rock fans to what they now call, Butter Music.
Signing with EMI Malaysia in 1996, b u t t e r f i n g e r s released their hugely successful debut album, 1.2 Milligrams, which eared them their first Gold Award for sales of over 15,000 units.
Their second album, Butter Worth Pushful released in 1997 soon made b u t t e r f i n g e r s a household name. Earning them their second consecutive Gold Award for sales of over 15,000 units, Butter Worth Pushful also gave them their first AIM (Anugerah Industri Muzik) nominations for Best Engineered Album and Best English Album. Butter Worth Pushful also debuted at the No 6 spot on the Malaysian International RIM Charts, a first ever for a local band.
Transcendence was next, released in 1999, and earned Butterfingers their first Double Platinum Award for sales of over 50,000 units, with two more AIM nominations for Best Engineered Album and Best English Album. With a little touch from their new sessionists, Loco (drums) and Numlock (programmer), Transcen- dence also debuted at the No 3 spot on the RIM International Charts, another first, and earned them their first No.1 song with their hit, The Chemistry (Between Us).
A collection of live and remastered b u t t e r f i n g e r s classics were up next on their fourth album, Butter Late Than Never, which sold in excess of 14,000 copies.
Herald the new Malayneum. Their fifth album, released mid 2001, has been described by most critics as the ’cornerstone of the Malaysian Rock scene’, and ‘the best album by Malaysia’s best band’. Earning them two more nominations in AIM 2002, for Best Engineered Album and Best English Album, Malayneums’ title track gave them their second No 1 hit, and the album made all ‘Best Albums of 2001’ local year end charts. Voted by ROTTW Magazine as the Best Local Band for the year 2001, with Kadak voted Best Bassist for 2001, b u t t e r f i n g e r s were then busy preparing for their first ever performance at AIM 2002, to be held in at PWTC in Kuala Lumpur, on April 20th.
b u t t e r f i n g e r s managed to chronicle their eight year musical journey when their recently released their latest, the long awaited ‘Greatest Hits’ The Best Is Yet To Come, in early 2003, a collection of past favorites.
Once quoted as saying they’ll never record in Malay, b u t t e r f i n g e r s once again went against their own grain when they released their last album, the completely Malay Selamat Tinggal Dunia, which has already broken stereotypes and taken that Malaysian musical sound even further. Selling in access of 10,000 copies, with bootleg copies turning up in pirate markets around K.L, Butterfingers prove that they still have what it takes.
With six albums to their name, over 150,000 albums sold to date, offers to play all around the world, and tens of thousands of fans from all over the globe, b u t t e r f i n g e r s have become a landmark on the Malaysian rock scene, and their reputation for staying on the cutting edge of creativity and originality have placed them in the Malaysian music history books – and their tale is only just beginning.
