PROFILE
ASIA LINE’s birth was inevitable after the demand of cafés increased for more IP ENTERTAINMENT bands. The third and the youngest among IP Bands offer nothing less but energy, youth and all out performances every night in a rockish and street jam fashion. The first years of ASIA LINE was tough but colorful since it premiered on September 2003 because it opened better oportunities to their members as two of the original vocalists made it to the top 100 of the Indonesian Idol 2005. Since then, ASIA LINE has been instilled with the concept of having competitive and promising members. To date, they have performed at their country’s premiere clubs such as Hard Rock Café Jakarta and Bali, Score Makassar, and recently at Hard Rock Café Kuala Lumpur, ASIA LINE also has proven that they could perform in line (or if not better) at the then “all-foreign acts” Ten Club, Surabaya extending their initial stint for another 45 days.
