It has been 24 years since Thai pop band, Armchair, formed in 2000. The band started with four members, so when Atit "Ouan" Sornsongkram, the keyboard player, left the band to pursue studies in Germany in 2005, fans missed the original days. But on Nov 9, the quartet will reunite at "The Concert Presents Armchair Original Concert". The performance will take place at Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani from 7pm.
Anusorn "Yong" Maneethed, the vocalist, said in their press conference that this concert will be memorable because it is rare for them to perform as four members. The last time they performed together was 10 years ago. From their five studio albums, the quartet have selected 30 songs to perform, Anusorn said that the concert will include songs that band members like and those fans want to hear.
Other members -- Jatutthapong "Pueng" Rumakom, the guitarist, Peeraphon "Jor" Leelasettakul, the bassist and Atit "Ouan" Sornsongkram -- said that they are excited to perform together again. They mentioned practising together brought back memories of each album. Besides the four members, Armchair said they will have a surprise guest but did reveal who he/she will be.
