mltr perform in kathmandu
Nepali band Kutumba, popular for their instrumental music, warm up the audience before the visiting Danish band MLTR show to the Himalayan audience how they have learned to rock in all these years. This is the second international gig (by western musicians) since last February when Canadian Bryan Adams kicked off his show with Bob Seger’s Katmandu.

Just surveyed the MLTR concert venue, inspected gold, slvr etc sections, not many ppl, way way below wat it was at Bryan Adams show in Feb—

The feel too is not as grand & magnetic as it was in the national stadium in Feb. Just comparing betwn @bryanadams & MLTR shows in Kathmandu—

MLTR ask us if we are warm or freezing after doing "someday". Crowd so far seems to be enjoying the show.—

Wagle ji! Right now me at pokhara but i feel m at ktm for mltr concert. Enjoying wid your tweets. Thanx dinesh!
They’re actually not the second western artist performing here in Nepal. You must have been confused because of all the hype these two got. The event called Silence Festival had invited international (western) bands to perform here in Nepal in 2010 as well as 2011.
