The Click Five performing last Sunday at Angkor Wat.
AMERICAN music group The Click Five will bring their catchy, guitar-driven sound to Phnom Penh's Olympic Stadium tonight, when they join Cambodian super crooner Preap Sovath and a full lineup of the Kingdom's most popular pop stars to wrap up MTV EXIT's anti-trafficking concert series.
The performance, which will also feature rapper Pou Khlaing, Chom Sovannech, Sokun Nisa, Yuk Thinratha and Meas Soksophea, follows the band's hugely successful star turn last Sunday at the first rock show to be held at Angkor Wat. As many as 50,000 people are expected to turn out at Phnom Penh's Olympic Stadium for the finale of what has been Cambodia's largest international musical event to date, organisers say.
Educating through music "We have messages in between each of the performances. We have video showing on screens. The MCs will also be delivering these messages from the stage in between performances. We also briefed the artists with key messages," he added.
It's kind of cool that we get two different experiences in cambodia ... phnom penh is going to be full rock 'n' roll.
The Click Five - vocalist Kyle Patrick, lead guitarist Joe Guese, keyboard player/songwriter Ben Romans, bassist Ethan Mentzer and drummer Joey Zehr - recently won the Knockout Award at the MTV Asia Awards 2008, and is well-known in the region, having already toured in Japan, Malaysia and Singapore, where the reactions to their music were as varied as the cultures.
"[While] Malaysia was kind of extreme, Japan was very silent and quiet," band members said, speaking as a group in Siem Reap earlier this week.
"The concert in Malaysia was in a small Hard Rock Cafe. The capacity was probably 200 or 300, but they let over 1,000 people in. So it was just insane from the first note to the last note. People were just going crazy. We actually had to stop and tell people to chill out. People were getting forced into walls that were not going to move."
