New club in Bukit Bintang opens with a bang
By Christina Low
Friday September 30, 2011
THE streets behind Jalan Bukit Bintang will no longer be short of excitement, quiet and lonely with the opening of @live Kuala Lumpur music club.
Located at the Federal Arcade — close to Low Yat Plaza and the Federal Hotel — it is the second outlet for @live. The first was in Sunway Pyramid.
Assistant manager Colin Yap said he was thankful to the patrons especially those residing outside the city who has been visiting the club and showing their support.
"We have only been operating for a month and the people here have been very kind to us.
Raise your glasses: The performers and dancers toasting the guests
to mark the opening of the club at Bukit Bintang.
"Sometimes we feel bad for not being able to accept more reservations especially from new patrons as our members and regulars reserve their seats weeks in advance," he said.
He said tenants from the various shopping malls, hotels and food outlets surrounding the club have yet to get a chance to come to the club.
Hence, when the club held its grand opening ceremony recently, Yap made sure his neighbours made time to visit the two-storey club.
"With the four-day celebrations, we are able to invite more people to come over and experience how different our club is," he said.
Guests were treated to a two-hour free flow of drinks before the outlet opened its doors to the public.
At 11pm, @live KL's 22-member music group comprising nine singers, nine dancers and four musicians came on stage to entertain patrons with various songs from Pop, Rock to Urban and Dance in English, Chinese, Thai, Korean and Japanese.
After one hour into their non-stop performance, the group took a brief break to pop champagne and toast the crowd, thanking them for their support. -- Star Metro
