EX: Clash of the Icons



The "Clash of the Icons" (BOTB) Archifest Expression 2011 was held on 8th October 2011, at FSPU Amphitheater where the crowd had witnessed the bands made of UiTM architecture students showcased their musical and performing talents. Befitting its name, "Clash of the Icons" required each studio to prepare an icon (i.e: singer, band) and perform songs based on their selected icons.

The bands were pitted against each other to be crowned as Most Iconic Band as well as a chance to have song recorded and produced by Archifest Expression main sponsor, Tune Studios. There were also other awards such as Best Bassist, Guitarist and Keyboardist, to recognize the raw talents among the students.




The crowd started to gather around the amphitheater at 8pm. Without further a due, the event started with an astonishing opening performance from the organizers.

The crowd in amphitheater


Unfortunately, rain started to pour during one of the performances. The organizers had to put the event on hold for a moment to disperse the crowd and readjust the setting of the stage in amphitheater. In a nick of time, all of the instruments involved were removed from the open air stage before it was raining quite heavily. The event resumed after a while with the stage setting relocated to the foyer.

take a look at the jury










The event concluded with a happy note, with the last guest band, TheFuture successfully entertained the crowd and wowed the juries, which is a relief from the earlier misfortune. Before announcing the end, the MC jokingly prepared to announce the winner, but then preferred to keep the crowd on their toes in anticipation for the winning band.

The full list of winners "Clash of the Icons" would only be announced on the closing aka performance night, "Glow Nite".
