Boney M To Perform Live At Istana Budaya.
So those of you 'old fellas' who used to wear bell-bottom trousers and sported shoulder-length hair while 'grooving' to the songs of Boney M, man the time has come to relive the 'bad ole days'.
1970s disco phenomenon Boney M will perform live at the Istana Budaya here from Sept 1 to 5. The concert will also be the first by international artistes at the Istana Budaya since it was opened in 1999, said Istana Budaya Director-General Azhar Abu Bakar.
The foursome's popular songs include the hits "Rivers of Babylon" and "Hooray, Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday".
"It is indeed our pleasure to be able to invite them to Kuala Lumpur as they happen to be in this region this September," Azhar told a news conference.
The concert will also feature Malaysia's very own 70s famous rockers, Ito from the Blues Gang, and Jay-Jay, the lead vocalist of the band Carefree.
Istana Budaya will also tie up with the Light and Easy radio station to promote the concert through a contest which will start in the next two weeks. Tickets for the concert are priced at RM20, RM70, RM100, RM150 and RM200. However, special discounted rates are available for early birds and group purchases.
Azhar said he was positive of a good response for the concert. So far, 40 per cent of the tickets have been sold.
More information on the concert can be obtained from Box Office at 03-4026 5558 or www.ticket2u.biz or www.istanabudaya.gov.my or at Istana Budaya in Jalan Tun Razak.

This is the 3rd time Boney M are visiting our shores. Any idea which Boney M is this? Because there are currently 3 different groups touring the world (each of the original member formed their own)....still, should be fun...I like Boney M
Daniel, I've really no idea which one of these different groups is coming. But as you said it should be fun; as long as they sing the songs well. It'll bring back good memories.
Boney M?
Its not an act worthy of Istana Budaya?
Many other local act with cultural and artistic value is more deserving.
