Tenderfist is certainly a name that has been in the spotlight in the past month or so. Not only did they open for Kings of Convenience’s gig recently, the latter also opened for Tenderfist at Cloth & Clef a night before the concert. With a name picked from a typeface mag when they formed in 2006, Tenderfist had other choices for band names that included Trotsky Fudge (catchy!). Aged between 21-31, the band comprises of Nazri on sampler and synths, Faiz on keyboards and analogue sequencers, and Edzwan on vocals and guitar. Tenderfist often cites New Order as inspiration but they are also inspired by Jens Lenkman, The Radio Dept, some interview footage of Ol’ Dirty Ba$tard and “the wide shot thing Wes Anderson does in all his movies”. For now, you will be able to hear their old songs and demos on MySpace as they are in the middle of recording an independently released effort. They’ve had a lot of memories so far, from opening for Killeur Calculateur and Stoned Revivals at Disko Papan 2 to playing at Urbanscapes 2009, where their equipment nearly melted in the hot sun. In the future, they hope to play gigs outside of KL or Malaysia and have a blast doing it. With the underrated talent they possess, we at JUICE fully support Tenderfist all the way!
