ROSEVELT
*The band climbs up, plugs in, tasting the buzz in the charged neon gloom.
And with an amplified whine, detonates the moshing masses with a rush of
Rosevelt. Indeed, that night, all the world's a stage and the stage is
theirs.***
Opening for their musical icons in July 2011 is a long way from Rosevelt's
humble college roots, back when Incubus was the spark that ignited a dream.
Now with electrifying effects, frenzied beats, and mind-bending bass lines,
wrapped up in intense vocal refrains, Rosevelt has made this recipe for rock
into their signature sound.

Alternative Rock, Hard Melodic Rock, whatever you call this assault on the
auditory senses, those who have tasted it often developed a curious case of
chronic headbanging.

Erupting from their public debut at Indie Youth Fest 2009, Rosevelt exploded among local music festivals, including Rock the World 2009 & 2010, YOUTH '10,
Urbanscapes 2010, and Asian Music Festival 2011.
Their contagious energy has set aflame live venues such as Laundry, The Library, and Urbanattic, as well as events including Fly FM Campur Chart, Guinness St. Patrick=92s Festival 2010 and arThursdays 2011.

Nevertheless, while Rosevelt's hopes were in the heavens, their feet were
firmly on the floor and they paid their dues as campus circuit darlings:
University of Nottingham Malaysia, Sunway University, Monash University, TAR
College, HELP University College. In return was a nomination for *Best
College Act* at the Voize Independent Music Awards 2010.
That is how Rosevelt is perfectly embodied in a single word: grassroots.
Since breaking into the local music industry, they have been a champion of
all talents Malaysian and indie, from music mavens and duds designers to
shutterbuffs and architects of art. Rosevelt is local like that.

With that same personal touch, Rosevelt shows are all about crowd
connection. It was no strange sight for the band to be constantly touching
base with their fans as they rocked Penang, Kelantan, KL, Selangor, Pahang,
Malacca, even Singapore. At the core, their essence is a single idea: have
music, will travel!
Rosevelt is currently on the verge of their album debut set in December
2011, having self-produced a mini-album in 2010.
