Can Clash Really Make a Comeback? Bass Player Surom Speaks Out After Bank's G27 Performance Sparks Revival Buzz

Following calls for Clash to reunite after Bank Preeti created a memorable moment at the G27 stage, reigniting nostalgia among fans and further fueled by Big Ass's return, Surom Sukrit Sripaoraya, the band's former bassist and current Make-up Gain member, opened up about the possibility during a recent interview. While acknowledging his surprise at the scale of fan support, Surom was candid that a major reunion concert is far from straightforward. "I've definitely seen the wave of requests," he confirmed. "Honestly, I was quite surprised by how big it was."

When asked about his feelings toward such overwhelming fan demand, Surom explained: "To be honest, my first reaction was surprise, but I understand it completely. Bank mentioned on stage that we'd talked before about whether people would show up at Rajamangala. The truth is, we've discussed big concerts before, but from our perspective, Rajamangala might be too large a venue. We were honestly worried that even if we organized something, people might come but the space could feel empty, which wouldn't feel right for a venue of that scale."

He continued: "But maybe the timing is different now. Because G27 had such massive attendance with multiple artists, it created the full-capacity feeling people saw. And knowing there are genuine fans who want to see a Clash concert makes that feel good. However, right now, coming back even just for a special event would be quite difficult. I'm fully committed to Make-up Gain and want to give my best effort there."

Surom pointed out the practical challenges: "Bank has released new music with Black Piranha, and there are other projects happening. Members like Phorn and Yak work with different music companies and are extremely busy. Sometimes Phorn texts me about cycling on weekends, but when the time comes, he's always caught up with work. It happens frequently, which shows that everyone's schedules are quite tight right now."

He emphasized the complexity: "A major concert isn't just about wanting to play again and doing it on the spot. There are issues with timing, venue selection, preparation, and various organizers involved. It's not as simple as saying let's do it and making it happen immediately. There are quite a few constraints."

When asked if band members have discussed the reunion buzz, Surom said: "Actually, we haven't really talked about it. I've run into members and exchanged greetings, but we haven't discussed this specifically. The last time I saw Yak, we talked about Make-up Gain's new release. There's some joking around though—I get lots of messages about it. Fans are tagging us in stories saying 'waiting for Rajamangala.' That phrase has come up constantly. But the reality is, it's still quite far off."
