  • A band’s rebirth of sorts

    Music in Sabah doesn’t pay well. But there’s hope. And this has given rise to FingerStyle, a rock band which tries to relive the glory days of the famous LaserBeam which died 20 years ago. Sutrisno Ngasio, 51, once popularly known as Ritchie LaserBeam, is nostalgic. He speaks fondly of the 70s and 80s when his band, which he set up with two of his brothers and a cousin, was hot on the music circuit of the north Borneo island state. “FingerStyle is the second generation of LaserBeam,” says Ngasio, still Ritchie to his friends, beaming with pride.
