Tashya’s Ink is a 4 piece band formed in 2008 and based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The band currently consists of Tashya Basir on vocals and rhythm guitar, Iriz Iziad Abdullah on lead guitar, Ike on bass and Wan on drums. Tashya's Ink play a mixture of sounds from the elements of rock, folk and alternative. Influences that span the music spectrum, from KT Tunstall to Alter Bridge to The Temper Trap are among the influences that can be heard in their sound. The band played a significant number of shows during 2009 with the pinnacle was during the Global Battle of The Band which was held in October till November. The band managed to reach the National Finals, being one of the top 12 bands in Malaysia. After that, the band took a more relaxed tempo after months of hectic schedule. The band played a lot of acoustic shows at places like The Public in TTDI Plaza and Daikanyama Restaurant in Changkat, KL from December 2009 till April 2010. The band then played in numerous other shows around the KL circuit and a Johor Bahru show throughout the year. In December 2010, Tashya's Ink represented Malaysia to Maldives to perform for the Maldives Breakout Festival after winning the Malaysia Breakout Showcase in November 2010. The festival featured many bands from Maldives and also bands from the UK like Steranko, Endeavours and Lecarla. Tashya's Ink followed in the footsteps of Bunkface who were the winners of last year's Malaysia Breakout Showcase in 2009. If all goes well, mid-2011 Tashya's Ink will be flying off to the UK for some shows. In March 2011, Tashya's Ink were among the top 4 finalist of the Hard Rock Calling Festival BOTB alongside Kyoto Protocol, The Azenders and Dead Mushroom. Tashya’s Ink has recently finished recording their first 6 song EP and will be releasing 2 singles soon, an English number called ‘HU’ and a Malay one by the name of ‘Yang Ku Mahu’. Keep your ears tuned ! Expect the EP to be sold somewhere in early 2011.
