Thailand's best-loved songwriter celebrates 15 years of collaboration with Moderndog's vocalist

Production house LOVEiS stages it debut concert next month, taking over Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani at 7.30pm on July 15 and 16 for "BOYdPOD Bittersweet Once in a Lifetime".

The shows celebrate 15 years of collaboration between the company's founder, songwriter Boyd Kosiyabong and Tanachai Ujjin, frontman of rock band moderndog. The two will also promote their album, "Bittersweet".

"The concerts represent a major investment but they'll also be our happiest hours," says the songwriter. "We'll be doing a chronological presentation of the songs that Pod and I have put together over the last 15 years."

"It will be very different from the shows I put on with moderndog," adds the rocker.

The shows are produced by David Vasquez, who has worked on most of Boyd's albums, along with Nop pornchamni and Sutee sangsareechon. Other musicians include guitarist Jay Curtis of the Black Eyed Peas, and violinist-trombonist Dan weinstein. And, there will be many Thai guests.
