Karpos Live ended their year of concerts on a high note as the power of musical fusion took over Filinvest Tent, Alabang, last November 28. Singer-songwriter Benny Sings and Thai city-pop duo HYBS brought music madness to the Filipino crowd for an entire night! It was indeed a “damn good time”!

Kicking off the show to a great start was the homegrown band Flu! With their groovy sound and funky rhythms, the crowd was instantly drawn to this local talent. The band upped the tempo at the start of the hour, which made them the perfect opener for the headlining acts!

Bangkok-based duo HYBS then filled the tent with beautiful synth sounds and a highball of great energy! “Welcome to the show, glad you’re here today,” from their first song of the night ‘Go Higher’ greeted Filipino fans, which resulted in an erupt of cheers from the audience. Tracks from their ‘Making Steak’ album took up most of their setlist, including ‘Dancing With My Phone,’ ‘Rockstar,’ ‘Killer’ and more! Past and recent releases ‘Ride,’ ‘Fantasy,’ and ‘Tiptoe’ were also a part of their song lineup for the night. HYBS members Alyn and Karn surely knew how to bring the crowd up to their feet and dance along to their songs, no matter the vibe. 

The show doesn't stop there despite the high tension from the former’s set. Benny Sings wrapped up the night with more melodic, mellow tunes, singing his greatest hits and collaboration tracks left and right: ‘BIG BROWN EYES,’ ‘Sunny Afternoon,’ ‘Rolled Up (feat. Mac de Marco),’  ‘Pyjamas (feat. Remi Wolf),’ ‘PASSIONFRUIT,’ and ‘Loving Is Easy (with Rex Orange County)’. Safe to say, the night ended with everyone in excellent spirits!

Huge thanks to Karpos Live for another great year of amazing live music!
