Rockers Kyoto Protocol and Bunkface to face off in blind football match

PETALING JAYA: Two of Malaysia’s top bands will be facing off this Saturday in a blind football match, but it’ll be all for a good cause.

Indie rockers Kyoto Protocol and Bunkface will be playing each other - completely blindfolded - alongside the Harimau Buta national blind football team at the Eye On The Ball: Bola Buta Challenge, which aims to raise support for the Malaysian blind football community.

Other top Malaysian celebrities, including YouTuber Jinnyboy, comedian Harith Iskander, and actress Ummi Nazeera, will also be playing celebrity matches as part of the Bulan Sukan Negara festival outside Bukit Jalil Stadium.

“When you know there is a Malaysian team giving our country a good name, it was a no-brainer for us to lend our support,” said Bunkface lead vocalist Shamsul Annuar.

“We’d also like to thank the team for their passion and commitment!”
