Last year at GVF, Noh Salleh even joked on stage, "Please invite me again, Kyoto Protocol gets to perform every year!"
This weekend, the band is celebrating their 10th anniversary with a big birthday bash and you're invited!
If their music career was a child, it would be in Standard Four right now.
The boys have come a long way since 2009 and since then, they have been on several international and regional tours, opened for big names such as The Killers and Tenacious D, as well as released four full-length albums which are 'An Album', 'Pahlawan', 'Catch These Men', and 'The Pen Is Mightier'.
One of their most famous songs, 'Jelita', now has an English version and if you haven't heard it yet, well, you should.
So come on and rock out with them on Saturday, 23 November at The Bee, Publika.
The space will be transformed into a mini festival ground and you can also catch other awesome supporting acts.
Kyoto Protocol is not only looking to celebrate their career, but also the vibrant independent music scene that gave it life.
So you'll find Jumero, Spooky Wet Dreams, Glass, Berdosa, and Me Gusta performing on the same stage as them that day.
