Synopsis

Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band is a multi-generational psychedelic marching band from rural Thailand, blending tradition with distortion. Led by the electric phin, a homemade version of a Thai lute, they fuse the hypnotic rhythms of Molam and Luk Thung with garage rock, surf and fuzzed-out improvisation. Performing everything from vintage Thai funk instrumentals to spontaneous jam sessions, their music carries the spirit of village parades, temple fairs and backyard gatherings.

 

Come experience this sonic adventure bursting with raw energy, spiraling riffs and a joyful celebration of sound that’s deeply rooted in Thai culture.

 

Join the band for an Artist Talk on 27 & 28 Sep at Esplanade Concourse and discover their origins, influences and creative processes.

Khun Narin's Electric Phin Band

Facebook | Instagram | YouTube

Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band is a psychedelic Thai party band from Phetchabun Province, formed in 2002 by Khun Narin. Made up of rotating members from teens to elders, the band fuses Molam and Luk Thung with fuzzed-out phin solos, pounding percussion and raw improvisation. After a viral video of their village parade performance gained global attention, they began touring internationally while staying rooted in rural life. Known for their orange motorcycle vests and high-energy sets, the band brings the spirit of temple fairs, street jams and backyard rituals to every stage, inviting audiences into a truly Thai celebration.
