About KNUKE

The KUGIRAN NEGARA KE UK ENTERPRISE (KNUKE) was founded in September 2007 by a group of Malaysian music enthusiast studying in the UK. Having gained experience in organising a range of extra curricular activities, from Malaysian cultural events to academic conferences, this group of students were highly credible in their respective Universities and were prepared to challenge their own abilities in a more divested field - the entertainment industry.

Their first project took off successfully in March 2008 when they brought HUJAN to the UK – the biggest UK-wide event organised by the Malaysian students. The highly ambitious tour took the band to several cities around the UK including Liverpool, Cardiff, Manchester & Sheffield along with 500+ units of CDs being sold.

KNUKE (Kugiran Negara ke United Kingdom Enterprise) was formed to continue this challenging effort of bringing our local musicians to the UK. It consists of a supervisory ‘board of trustees’ based in Malaysia overlooking the leadership progress of student members organizing this tour in the UK.

Under event post-mortems and the new management approach, we aim for perfection this year by having a direct partnership with a Malaysian record label Laguna Music –  to fine-tune the event in incorporating Laguna’s strength as a band manager and event organiser with our student connections, experience and privileges here in the UK.
