OAG, also spelled O@G, also known as Old Automatic Garbage or Orang Asia Genius, are a Malaysian pop and alternative rock band. The band, formed in 1992, was one of the first English language alternative rock bands in Malaysia to get huge attention from mainstream music listeners. The current line-up of the band are Radhi (vocals and guitar), Azeezul Fitri (drums), Haifizul Azim (guitar), Muhamad Nizam (guitar), and Eric Wong (bass guitar).
History
The original line-up of the band were Radhi, Chi (drums), Ivan (guitar), and Lam (bass guitar). Their big break came when they recorded a demo tape and sent it to Paul Moss, the producer from Positive Tone. Paul was impressed with the tape and signed the band up under Positive Tone. Gradually they band picked up a respectable number of fans in the country. They went on to win the Best New Artist category in the Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) (Malaysian Music Awards) in 1996 and their first videoclip, 60's TV, was also nominated for the Best Video Clip category.
