Formed in 2001. Apartmentkhunpa is a bangkok-based rock band.
Its sound consists of rock, funk, jazz, blues and hip-hop combined
with a razor-sharp lyrics that talk about everything from politics,
ancient myths, philosophy, fashion, bangkok nightlife, music business
to pop culture.
In 2002 Bangkok Love Story hit the store. The album's 2nd single "Kampang" got the band into media attention. For those who know Apartmentkhunpa well, they should already recognized that "Kampang" is the song that described the concept of the band's sound and working philosophy which they believed to have no musical boundaries. Later on, this song was awarded for "Song of the year" by Fat Radio in 2003.
"Your First Kiss EP" followed up a year later. Apartmentkhunpa decided not to come up with the new album that year but instead tried to collect the left-over ideas from the making of Bangkok Love Story, then squeezed them, mashed them, and digested them, after that they got a 45-minute-long EP that included the hits like, Rock n Roll (we play), Ruang Tammada and Duay Namlai.
In the year 2005 Apartmentkhunpa was assigned to write a song for a documentary called "Sue Rong Hai" which literally means "Crying Tiger." The song unfortunately never made it into the original sound track of the film but nevertheless become the band's single that also define the new direction of Apartment's sound which can now be simply described in three words "Rock And Roll"
