The first Wknd Sessions - Indonesia Special is here and it features none other than Performing their brand of rock n roll for The Wknd, one can really see how seasoned Jimmy, Pandu, Freddy, and Yanu are at performing - their tight performance captured by the Malaysia-based website perfectly. There have been 3 videos released so far , but knowing The Wknd's there should be one more coming out very soon.

Enjoy the video and look for more coming out soon!
