SINGAPORE — Danish band Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR) celebrated their 25th anniversary last year, and it has been more than 20 years since they first made a mark their hit song The Actor.

Since then, MLTR has plied fans with more hits such as Sleeping Child, Paint My Love, Wild Women, 25 Minutes, Out Of The Blue and That’s Why (You Go Away), among others. So it’s not surprising that the trio said they won’t be leaving the music scene any time soon.

“Michael Learns To Rock have been here so long, we’ve been through it all,” said the band’s drummer, Kare Wanscher. “We’ve even tried to split up, but we all like music, so no matter what we’ve been through, we’ve always agreed that the band will live on.”

Even the departure of founding member Soren Masden in 2000 didn’t hinder the band’s progress, which Wanscher said was partly due to their fans’ support from this part of the world. “We’re fortunate to have so many great fans in Asia who keep asking us to come back, and that’s why we stay together,” he said. “Without great fans we would be nothing. As long as we can walk, I think we will be touring and performing. That’s not something we’ve discussed, but we’ve got a lot of years left in us.”

The band will perform tomorrow night at the The MAX Pavilion @ Singapore Expo, in support of their latest album, Scandinavia, released in late 2012. In a show of their longstanding love for the band, fans ensured the album stayed in the Top 40 for several weeks, not just in their native Denmark, but in South-east Asia too.

But will they ever be sick of playing the same hits over and over again? “The funny thing is when you play a song so many times, it’s not about whether playing the song is interesting — it’s what it does to people, it’s how people react to your song,” said Wanscher. “It’s very hard to tell which song people will like most or sing along to.”
