The band which was the masterminded by Landslyde, started out with the guitarist Amil Khan and the vocalist Adam Lobo and with its many lineup changes, currently feature Manshaan Singh on the drums and Camero on Bass.The band started out playing both the underground and commercial scene where they managed to land some high profile gigs which included the Asian X-Games tour as well as the ESPNSTAR KL XTOUR and the Peter Stuyvesant Breakaway party. But staying through to their roots, the majority of their gigs are all based in the underground scene where the band was promoted and publicized in the local underground scene by FYI Entertainment which not only organizes the majority of gigs in the local underground circuit but also became close friends with Dragon Red.The next slip of good fortune came out in 2003 when the band was offered an endorsement deal by ADIDAS whereby they toured with them all across the nation (Mallaca, Penang, Johor Bahru, Sarawak) in commemoration with the ADIDAS Streetball Challenge. It was here that Dragon Red started making a name for themselves outside the Klang Valley Area and a slew of gigs started coming their way. Slowly, the idea of releasing a single and at the end of 2003, they together with Nick Lee (who at that time was an unknown producer in the local scene) of Sonique Production came out with their first single which consisted of their first hit Fade Away and a Malay track Terpedaya.In 2004, the band started to invite media frenzy where they were being covered by the local papers such as NSTP and the Star as well as local magazines like Dragon magazine, KLUE and ROTTW. They also debuted on national TV with 8 TV on their home produced late night show Latte @ 8. They were also featured in RTM’s Rentak Juara where they managed to get to the SMS round.

It was at this time as well that Pan Global came out with Music Canteen and Dragon Red became Music Canteens artist’s and together with Sychrosound Studio recorded Rudolf Red which was featured in Music Canteen’s It’s a Music Canteen Christmas Album. They also recorded their first music video which was Rudolf Red in collaboration with Hitz.TV. They then finally performed their biggest gig yet in front of 20000 people at Stadium Merdeka in Rock The World 5.In 2005 the band spent the majority of the year in the studio to focus on recording and finishing the album. It was in the first quarter of this year that the band was nominated for two awards, Best Rock and Best New Act in Hitz.FM’s MET 10 Awards. The band then started doing more shows with Music Canteen and started touring the nation again together with them. They were also voted to perform in Hitz.TV’s Amplified via SMS where they played an entire set of 12 songs.
