Indonesian rock band will not succeed if it has never tried hard rock stage of Malang "; a quote that may be able to immediately refuted when most people will probably yell Jakarta or Bandung. But it was an affirmation of an elder who started the whole drama of the stage rock Indonesia. Starting from a genius concoction of a pharmacist in the number of Salt Kali Surabaya, in the mid 60s, plus a toxic poison Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad & Jimmy Hendrix a fragrant scent in hell stage rock the city of Malang, was born AKA Band who were later jump-start a phenomenal name, Ucok AKA.
When the map of Indonesia decade of 60s music is dominated by a swathe of the poppies flower like Koes Brothers, then the year 67 is the start page in the history books of rock music Indonesia. Because for the first time stands a rock band with a ferocious performance and maximum accelerated skill band called AKA. AKA or also called Salted Pharmacies time is fronted by Arthur Kaunang [father of artist Tessa Kaunang], Sonata Tandjung, Sjech Abidin, and Andalas Datoe Oloan Harahap or better known as Ucok AKA.
As we know, that the economic recession & the political conflict in the year it makes everything in life becomes very difficult. But the intelligence of rock music lovers a pharmacist named Ismail Harahap [Ucok AKA's father] who later gave birth and catapulted AKA Band. A huge boon in an era when a father blessing his own son to be a rock star. AKA this is the band that later helped trigger the establishment of the Indonesian rock bands such as Giant Step [Bandung] and also Trencem [Solo] fronted by Setiawan Djodi.

Early years of their existence is a formulation that forms the character of their musicianship. Stage stage rock music hell in East Java in Malang and Surabaya mainly in the era of late 60s and early 70s to forge them into a rocker that really qualified character. Consider the maximum accelerated skill ala Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix or Grand Funk Railroad, then beat beat RocknRoll Wild Deep Purple kind of songs that influenced the AKA. Coupled with crazy theatrical action of the eccentric vocalist Ucok AKA, like singing while hanging upside down at an altitude of 10 meters, flips upside down like a gymnastics athlete, or take take the casket, etc.. The concept of raw performance like this was pre-planned as a separate entertainment for audiences who come from all over the area. The composition of the stage Entertaintment AKA own approximately 60% is music while 40% is performance. Although such performance is often intended to mask the fear and stage fright Ucok AKA own. Hahaha ... if only Ozzy Osbourne or Iggy Pop was born early enough to be able to enjoy the madness Ucok AKA, probably will happen a unique collaboration between them.
All these are then made their name became hip and very calculated at each stage in the decade of 70s rock Indonesia. Almost every concert tour in various big cities in Indonesia has always provoked mass hysteria. Even the hubbub this stage at one time turned into a violent, especially when Ucok AKA cover song Sex Machine by James Brown in a later version of wild, sensual and reckless performance of oats. Because this mode as the modus operandi, AKA the band makes officials of government officials and religious leaders throughout Indonesia burned his beard and agreed to ban them from every stage rock Indonesia.
On the basis of ban from the bureaucrats, the band AKA the path of a more subversive in their existence, underground!. They then moved to the neighboring countries, namely Singapore and Malaysia. Here they make records and released the song in English is Crazy Joe. As we know, in that era, on the basis of nationalism, the bureaucratic system of Indonesia stipulates that all musical works required to speak Indonesian, so that Crazy Joe became a highly subversive song here.
But tit for tat, Crazy Joe is dedicated to a friend that is an employee Pharmacies Ucok AKA Kali Asin named Joe who participated in the birth AKA band, then get a place of honor in the music industry sadistic arena named chart. When the radio Australia, with frontman Ebet Kadarusman [Kang Ebet] on broadcasting, set the Crazy Joe on the first rung chart. This success was followed by another success where single storm in December sold 1 million copies printed. A measure which then sets the Hurricanes in December as one of the legendary rock song in Indonesia.
2 years in Singapore, they ripen. Nature-themed song lyrics, violence, and often religious and daily life mature their work. So that when they back down on the local stage as West Point Singapore Garden and Tropicana, sadistic local merchant named EMI Singapore keen to recruit them. Saturated with a small country Singapore, they returned to Indonesia. And in this country, instead they give up on the black list, but the craze. The stage is very horror and reckless performance of wild oats, then set them as a rock icon Indonesia. That is why in almost every concert of top international rock bands in Indonesia, AKA is a key opener.
1974 was a key figure mengklimakskan AKA band trip. AKA broke up the road when it reaches the peak of glory, and then the members of AKA minus Ucok in 1975 to form the legendary rock group that also is SAS. So actually what makes the band AKA collapsed at that time?
Women is the key word. Ucok AKA who have married and have children is, soluble in the cradle of the intoxicating romance with a female fan. "I fell in love with a woman and then fled with him, unfortunately he's officials," says the now-familiar Ucok AKA Ucok called Grandmother. Ucok AKA did fall in love and eloped with a beautiful woman named Farida karate champion. The fact is then undermined the triumph of imperial dynasties AKA band.
Ucok AKA's life story and Farida next is a romantic drama lovers a much more bohemian classic RocknRoll than Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. Fled to the wilderness of metropolitan Jakarta, living in the alley alley alley, sleeping in a stuffy room a lift station Gambir former warehouse, to hire a third-rate hotel room in Senen Jakarta.
But just when life with this Farida, name Ucok AKA really honed into a top class artist. Is a young man named Ali Shahab, a film director who later was well respected as one of Indonesia film maestro, who found Ucok with his wife who was pregnant, sitting vagrancy in Jakarta Gambir station. Introduction This then paves the way Ucok AKA and his wife into the world of the big screen. And Ratno Timoer who later became a doctor who delivered the first movie that starred in 1977 Ucok AKA the Toxic Kiss. Since then Ucok AKA diligent back down on the big screen, most movies with the title title battered, ie starting from Ancient Man movie, Young Blood, Death Bell, Gara Gara Gila Tail, Auntie Sun, Lamentations Stepchildren II, etc..
But of all of it is quite important to note is the film Kribo Duo released in 1978 with big names like Achmad Albar, Remy Jones, etc.. The film is quite phenomenal in addition to the prestigious award in the event the film is also a marker of the country officially end the feud and rivalry between the two people on board rocker is Ucok AKA and Achmad Albar. In addition, Duo Kribo later became the name of their rock band songs where a lot of his songs became hits on the charts prestigious radio radio big cities in Indonesia. Maybe if it had occurred in your ear song song memories of a broadcast radio, legendary rock songs like Hell Hell or Stage Theatre [Ian Antono creation], then it should be remembered also that the Duo Kribo popularize this is the first time.
Ucok AKA itself is not ashamed to admit he was prostituting himself as a commercial film workers. "At that time I need to make walk just 600 thousand for the cost of living, so I play the movie", so his confession. But that does not mean instinct rockernya mortgaged granted, recorded one of the film is starring alongside the Young Blood Rhoma Irama, is one monument to his disappointment public appreciation of rock music. "I always play so drunkards, murderers, rapists, because because I play rock music, while Rhoma can be a good good".
With images of sex drugs & RocknRoll that stereotype madness Ucok AKA indeed have a strong inherent in the minds of people with post-modern society flower syndrome. Although for problems with drugs alone Ucok hard to refute, "every performance I always crazy madness, need high power for jump jump, somersault and hanged hanging here and there, if I pake drugs, how can I like that ...". A logical statement is not it? Due to her success in an event is number one.
Back to the year 1982 as a shock to Ucok AKA. His father is ill forced himself back into Lawang, the northern district of the city of Malang. The mansion recently held in number Sawangan, Central Jakarta abandoned Ucok AKA and Farida along with their two children just for the sake of filial piety to parents. But the worst was when his wife left him. Households Ucok AKA and Farida which was never condoned a parent Farida ends when a messenger from the family of Farida parents came to fetch home Lawang Farida and her two children. This event is in addition to end the romantic tale of bohemian lovers RocknRoll, also affect one side of mental life Ucok AKA the way forward.
Year following year similar story contemporary infotaintment containing the story of marriage divorce. Recorded some of the women then ever accompany Ucok AKA live statistics, some teens adrift even with Ucok AKA. Even his third wife, is an evidence of post-divorce trauma Ucok AKA from previous marriages, where his third wife is physically quite similar to Farida. Ucok AKA then must realize the truth of the cliche of a love that is not a must have. "If I must choose to succeed in the family than in rock, only God had other plans, I kept the canal dibelokin, would in fact succeed in music is not in the family", a bitter statement Ucok AKA a humane nan who later proved in a variety of home ties ladder is a mess.
When the decade of 80s to be sparkling for electrical generation, not the case with Ucok AKA. Fading prestige increasingly felt that post-traumatic 82. Year next year for Ucok AKA is a story-length dark comedy. Various dilakoninya work, in order to keep the kitchen smoke billowing. Alternating Malang - Jakarta had lived, because for him is the industrial city of Jakarta which is always steaming kitchen house in Malang.
Can be seen, ranging from musical illustrations stylist for various films, became caretaker PARFI, opened the brick business, become fleas for various rock bands of the War Power Band, until Coksvanska [all of which are less successful in the market], even up into the paranormal. Huh ... Paranormal? Yes, as he says that when his friend Arthur Kaunang which has been playing music for God, Sonata Tandjung became pastor, and became chaplain Sjech Abidin, then Ucok choose to be paranormal. For him the paranormal or the pastor or chaplain is the same, ie have the intention to help people. Although he did not deny that his intention to be psychics are also caused because he did not want to go to school first like when they wanted to be a cleric or priest.
Up here it does not mean idealism faded as a profession, because he remains a controversial for the public. Consider just opinion against opinion spiciness culture music industry that is always directing musicians to mentally fried beans. "Nowadays the industry is always forced the musicians to make a cheesy song, it's all about love, nothing else" he said curtly. Even further criticism of pragmatism young musicians are also no less spiciness. "Young people that have succeeded in Jakarta, they like to forget the same region, such as peanut forget all his skin" as he said. Although he did not deny also that he himself liked to work with younger musicians musicians. Recorded several young musicians like Andy / rif, Kaka Slank, never tasting experience collaborating on a stage with him.
Ucok AKA has already sunk in stage performances of the country music industry. But that does not mean simply forgotten history. Recorded 17 albums with AKA, 3 albums together Kribo Duo, as well as 10 albums solo career is the length that makes his performance hard to emulate musicians present era. Even his contribution to the local culture Malang is also quite large, when he created the Mars Arema for the first time.
At the age of 69 years, he chose to live in seclusion in Malang, with clinics opening music, cafe music, etc. to connect his life. He himself chose not to get too involved in the local music industry Malang contemporary era. Laziness to set impertinence local musicians young musicians is why, although he himself recognizes talent and great potential of local musicians. But in addition to her talent, should also be supported by the will, discipline, and capital and opportunity, to make a qualified musician and has a great work. This thing is what is often forgotten by the young musicians today, especially in the era where technology has really mastered.
Ucok AKA visited the house located in a valley, in Lawang, the northern district of Malang city, seemed like a journey into the past. The house is located in this vast land in addition to music clinics and cafes are also immortalized as a private museum that holds the artifacts artifacts of rock music journey Indonesia a few decades ago. The inability to separate himself from the world of rock music are applied in a variety of things around him.
Structuring home-style hippies, apart pairs holden car until his 60s is more like a war tank Batman's Gotham City, until the naming various places in his house with the scent of a flower such as Jimi Hendrix lesehan space, is proof. Even sometimes trivial variety of objects such as mail boxes, marker boards driveway, until pendant necklaces, etc., also become the object of the era of romanticism Ucok AKA AKA the band's glory decades ago. Ucok AKA Grandmother is old and despite being a grandfather and grandfather but still musically minded RocknRoll, a hallmark of the old generation in the cold city of Malang. Motto HIGAM, Happy Living Younger remains the watchword of his life in this old age.

ANTHRAX BIOGRAPHY

2011-10-13T07:06:00.000-07:00

Source: http://www.anthraxio.com/biography.htm
In the beginning of the 1980s in the US a great many bands were formed who took their inspiration from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Among the most gifted of those were bands like TWISTED SISTER, MÖTLEY CRÜE, WASP, MANOWAR and of course Anthrax.

Anthrax was formed back in 1981 by two guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Lilker. They had been classmates at the Bayside school in the Queens area of New York. Both of them already had a certain experience on stage; they played in FOUR X and WHITE HEAT respectively. Other members of the band were Dave Weiss, Paul Kahn, and John Connelly the lead singer. Problems began to appear from the very beginning. Several members left the band due to their incapability of following the standards set by Scott and Dan. The first three songs they recorded were "Sin", "Antichrist" and "Haunting Dog" with Neil Turbin at the vocals.

Anthrax's first appearance on stage took place at the "Battle of the Bands" that they have naturally won. This permitted the band to win over some local heavy metal fans, but this was not enough for them to obtain a contract with a record label. After a few more line-up changes, Charlie Benante has become the drummer of Anthrax and still remains one today, and Danny Spitz the rhythm guitarist (and has remained one for a long time). A little later, a manger called John Zazula showed a certain interest in ANTHRAX'S, music, but he thought they should work on their sound. He and his wife Marsha were the founders of the Megaforce Records and Crazed Management.

It's thanks to them that the famous Anthrax-Metallica cooperation was made possible as Metallica were also signed on the Megaforce Records. Finally Anthrax could register their first single "Soldiers of Metal" followed by "Howling Furies". The producer if the singles was Ross the Boss from Manowar (they played at the same concert just prior to that). Three thousand copies of the first single were sold in just two weeks. This encouraged John Z. to sign a long-term contract with the band and he sent them on a tour with METALLICA and RAVEN.

Finally, in 1984, Anthrax have recorded their first album entitled Fistful of Metal, that clearly showed the talent of the band thanks to the ultra-fast riffs in the style of thrash and speed metal. A lot of importance must also be attached to the lyrics of the band, who have not followed the fashion of writing about Satan and witches, but rather focused on everyday problems such as drugs and violence.

After this recording, Dan Lilker decided to leave the band and was replaced by Frank Bello, Charlie's nephew. Prior joining Anthrax, Frank was an Anthrax roadie. He still remains a member of Anthrax.

After one of the Anthrax concerts, Neil Turbin showed a highly disrespectful and arrogant attitude towards the public and had to be fired as a consequence. Anthrax have remained without a lead singer for a whole two months. They have worked with Matt Fallon on the Spreading the Disease album for a while, but they needed a permanent member. By a coincidence, they have heard about Joey Belladonna, who ironically sang in a band called MEGAFORCE. He was to greatly mark the history of Anthrax. They have put tremendous pressure on Joey to become a member of Anthrax and he finally accepted. They have completed the Spreading the Disease album with him and it was around then that Anthrax found their own sound.

In February 1985, the Armed and Dangerous album came out. Right after that Anthrax took part in the "Metal Hammer Road Shows" with ANGEL STEEL and OVERKILL.

In summer 1985 Charlie and Scott decided to form a side band called the STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH (SOD). The two other band members were Billy Milano and their former member Dan Lilker who they were still friends with. In only three days they have recorded 21 songs with their producer Alex Perlas. The name given to the album was "Speak English or Die". The record became known for its extremely heavy music and half-serious but nevertheless satirical lyrics.

The band broke up right after that. The Armed and Dangerous album has attracted the attention of the Island Records. They have signed a contract with the band and the next album that was originally entitled Anthrax Kills but was finally renamed Among the Living came out via Island. At the moment this album came out Anthrax were already a mature band. They have toured Europe several times, especially with Metallica, but one of these tours was cancelled due to the tragic death of Cliff Barton.

Among the Living was a turning point for Anthrax. They have introduced several new aspects in their music, making allusions to the works of Stephen King and rap music. "Among the Living", for example was inspired by Stephen King's The Stand. The song "I am the Law" was inspired by a character named Judge Dreadd from the famous comics series. The basic idea behind the "Efilnikufesin N.F.L." song (for those who have me on their ICQ, it sounds familiar, right?) was put forward by Scott Ian after he read the book about the death of John Belushe, the leader of the BLUES BROTHERS, from an overdose. The song entitled "Caught in a Mosh" is not about moshing, but rather the situations you often find yourself in against your own will.

It was inspired by an accident with one of the Anthrax roadies when he stage dived and injured his back. Two more songs on that album deserve particular attention: "Indians" and "One World". The first one talks about the discrimination of the native Americans (Joey is himself a native American) and the second one is about the catastrophic results that could take place if the nations keep antagonizing themselves.

Despite the energy that can be easily taken for aggression by some people, Anthrax remain a pacifist and an optimistic band. By making allusions to violence, they try and stress what the major problems of our time are. According to Scott, that they are not putting their subjective opinions across, but rather an objective reality, it's all in the papers. Among the Living faced a couple of problems. Certain critics accused the band of having sold out and several Christian organizations disliked the somewhat satanic cover, but their success was nevertheless undeniable. It was in the beginning of 1988 that Anthrax could tour with their idols, KISS, and establish friendly links with Gene Simmons.

The 12th September 1988 is the release date of the State of Euphoria. Among the biggest hits on the album are "Make Me Laugh", "Schism", "Antisocial" originally by TRUST, "Now It's Dark", "Who Cares Wins", "Misery Loves Company", "Out of Sight, Out of Mind".

The next year Anthrax made an appearance in England, where they played with LIVING COLOR and were invited to the "Head bangers' Ball".

This appearance permitted Anthrax to open the door to the continental Europe. They toured with legendary bands such as MÖTLEY CRÜE, WHITESNAKE, IRON MAIDEN, METALLICA, HALLOWEEN, and KING X. Their European success was supported by that of the US.

Towards the end of 1989 Anthrax began to work on a new album entitled Persistence of time. Unfortunately, on the 24th of January 1990, fire destroyed most of the records. They managed to get the album out by the 20th of July. Soon afterwards they released a new EP called Attack of the Killer B's. Among those songs is "Bring the Noise" that they recorded with Public Enemy, followed by a tour with the same rap group.

In March 1992 Scott reformed SOD to hold a number of concerts that helped them record a disc called Live at Budokan. It was then that Joey Belladonna began to lose interest in what Anthrax were doing and had to be fired. The new vocalist was John Bush, the former lead singer of Armoured Saint. It was with him that the last three albums were recorded: The Sound of White Noise, Stomp 442 and Volume 8: The Threat is Real. Unfortunately, their last 2 record labels, Elektra and Ignition Records did not do a good job promoting those.

In 1998 the SOD were formed once again and they have currently finished work on their new album Bigger Than the Devil

Stories of Grunge

2011-10-12T07:13:00.000-07:00

Various major events unfold until recorded not only in gold but makes the history that has meaning. Not applicable except in the history of pop music. When the Beatles perform at the Cavern Club (1962), Bob Dylan at Newport (1965), Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock (1969) are among other events, and when Nirvana released the album In Utero, in September 1993, said an executive from Geffen Records. In Utero? Why is it not the time Nirvana released the album Nevermind (October 1991) which sold millions of copies it?
Nevermind indeed be opening the road. But In Utero became evidence. Evidence that Grunge (read: granch) as an alternative rock had a sale value as high as the other style of music in the music industry this decade. Sold over 3 million copies (in the U.S. market alone, Juni'94), In Utero be evidence, that grunge is not just a momentary growl. But the more advanced, grunted terjangnya unstoppable football in the world arena rock. Grunge "creature"?? What is this?like music, none of the definitions could peg the true meaning of this grunge. He could mean something arbitrarily??, Disorder??, Antipola??, Even simplicity??, Or even sound like a screaming pig memekakan?
Something want to be called. Yet all can be fitted. To be sure, grunge so malformed that mengemohi rock stability in the association. It offers a choice of his countrymen hardrock, heavymetal who are considered too old. even while punk rock is considered to have lost the spirit. And there came to give an alternative grunge.

"THE BEGINNING IS THE SOUND, AND BE MUSIC. THE BEGINNING IS THE EVENT, AND BECOME HISTORY "
Some literature mentions born since the era of grunge heyday of punk in 70's and empties in Minneapolis, and since the late 80s began to move kekawasan northwest coast (northwest) United.
With music almost minus sound effects, except for a very rough guitar sound, music grunge music critics not rated much better than Rock n'Roll minus attributes. Is the attribute in question is a leather jacket, her hair stiff hair spray, metal bracelets necklaces, costume, shiny, or colored lights and fireworks on the concert stage?
Maybe so. But, anyway grunge not born by itself. He could not the same as or heavymetal hardrock. But he was the son of hardrock era of the '70s (including the music that was kind of KISS, Black Sabbath, AC / DC at the time) paired with a punk rock (such as that carried the Sex Pistols or the Ramones).
Understanding this model, may be more easily accepted. Because the trail is based on travel history may be more clear. Yet none of the music that would be a camp, or a boxed-boxing. But what then becomes a question with a question mark? large, whether after grunge became its own genre, or after grunge became one of the music industry cog, masihkah also deserve as an alternative?
Send your views only to Seattle Washington where the host country. Simply plug the ear from the west coast to the west coast until there in America. Who can deny the magnitude of grunge. Until he was-like it or not-has become a pattern, birth order. And NIRVANA's not alone.
Just mention the name of Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Mudhoney are those who have tasted the sweetness of honey this music through the music industry. And Seattle was abused so fine qibla grunge. As mentioned the same thing with Nashville for country, blues or New Orleans for hardrock / heavymetal to LA.Pdahal '88 when the current single release Mudhoney Touch Me I'm Sick, just 2 bars and a small club in Seattle who would play them. That is, Seattle is not yet able to accept music that carried semodel Mudhoney.
Such conditions of course make some horror rockers in Seattle. So they moved from Seattle. Call aja The blackouts, punk rock group that carries it pull into Chicago and later known as the Ministry. Then guitarist Duff McKagan out of Ten Minute Warning, and left for Los Angeles, then shiny as Guns N'Roses bassist.
But it's all a long story and all changing rapidly. Seattle finished the main purpose of many groups-rock group from LA comes to town itu.Jangan were special musical gait mass media, they mengakat profile of Seattle as the main report, and eventually many major record companies, gold rush era? had already begun.And the new term was born "Seattle Sound??". This is a term that refers to the color of rock music that brought groups of origin or be big in Seattle.
Characteristics of the Seattle grunge sound of this application (which is also the term) even with the boundary line that was almost bigger by almost all groups classified as carrying the Seattle sound. Want diang called The Melvins, Ten Minute Warning, U-Men, Soundgarden, Skin Yard, Screaming Trees, TAD, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Hole, and many more tuh.But early grunge fact sheet was opened by Jimi Hendrix, â €?? Claims of literature?. Yeah, maybe. Ie, when Hendrix was aged 11 years (1953), then he poured the liquid all over the guitar and amplifier set the volume up to maximum numbers.
But the veil of the grunge world began to open in 1986, when it released a compilation album Deep Six. On the album featured, among others, Soundgarden, Green River, also of The Melvins. We play together, we talk, what we like as well that we hate, â €?? Soundgarden's Chris Cornell recalled.

Once free, so loose, that's a reflection of the attitudes reflected the bearer of grunge music. Including placing music as a hobby rather than for mere merangguk money. This means that they are quite happy if it makes the recording and then circulated by a small record company and do not care or do not want to sell.
But the passage of time also makes hollow poles principle. Some bearers of grunge began to believe that music can be a sustainer of life. As was first proclaimed by Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and Andy Wood. But the rock community in Seattle did not flinch. They then produce a memory album Temple of the Dog. On this album Chris Cornell was present, Wood's roommate. OHA € | yes, Jeff Ament and Stone Gosard later flew over Pearl Jam.

"THE BEGINNING IS A POPULARITY, AND BE THE TOP NIRVANA. THE BEGINNING IS DESPERATE, AND BE A HEAD detonates Kurt Cobain "
Guitarist Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana was found dead as well as milestone 8 April 1994 at about 9 am at his home in Seattle. And flags were flown at half mast dipuncak grunge. could even be to the world of pop music world. But, Seattle Sound will never dim, grunge will not stop grunted. Elo all can believe it!

NOFX – Biography

2011-10-12T06:51:00.000-07:00

Fat Mike – Vocals & Bass
El Hefe – Guitar & Vocals
Eric Melvin – Guitar & “Mel Yell”
Erik Sandin – Drums

Greetings bio readers we’ve not got much time! All these years as the Fat breadwinner and NOFX never had a proper band biography. An outrage! Well, we finally asked NOFX frontman Fat Mike if he could punch himself in the face and please write us a fucking bio and he eventually got around to writing us an uninformative drunken e-mail. We took what we could get. It sure was swell of Mike to play along, but we figured it’s best if we threw in some relevant points of interest about the band before we cut to the horse and his mouth.

NOFX was formed in L.A. back in 1983 and has released 10 studio full lengths, about 6 EPs, and a metric ton of 7′s. They’ve somehow managed to sell over 6 million records worldwide, which is an unprecedented feat for an independent band. They’re true pioneers of the genre as they’ve toured all but one continent no Antarctica yet, sorry. No band has achieved more success independently, and no band has turned down major labels and MTV more often. Although they’re reluctant to admit it, they’re musically influenced by bands like Bad Religion, Misfits, RKL, etc. At least they were back in the day, now they do all the influencing. After years of working with mega-indie Epitaph, the band switched to Fat Mike’s own imprint. Thus began 2003′s War On Errorism, one of their most successful releases yet, and a record that catapulted the band into the mainstream of political press: Newsweek, CNN, NY Times, etc.Next up for NOFX is the 6-song CDEP Never Trust A Hippie (uhhh, see record cover for explanation); which is really just a taste of their upcoming full length, Wolves In Wolves Clothing. It’s released April 18th, then they headline Warped Tour. After that is yet another crackpot scheme: the band has been discussing playing 30 shows in 30 countries where they’ve never sold any records. The final frontiers of touring from Bolivia to Burma and they’re gonna capture it all on film. I wouldn’t expect that stuff to end up at Cannes. Sundance maybe. Anyhow, here’s that e-mail we warned you about:

i fuckin did it, its ok i think, whatever dude i’m wasted, fm Being in NOFX is easy. There’s nothing easier than being an alcoholic in a punk rock band. We didn’t start out being alcoholics, but we’re definitely gonna finish that way. It all started in the winter of 83. We we’re all 16 and had no idea how to play musical instruments. Lucky for us we wanted to play punk, therefore you didn’t need to know how to do anything. So Melvin, Smelly, and I start writing songs and playing shows in Hollywood. After about a year we start touring the US without even a out. All we had was a demo. We played places like CBGB’s, The Mabuhay Gardens, Blondies, and the Anthrax. No one liked us, but that was OK cuz we we’re having a hell of a good time. So we start recording songs, but none of them we’re good, and we kept on touring, but no one liked us. Years go by. The year was 1989 when we wrote our first good song, “S&M Airlines”. Brett from Bad Religion heard it and signed us to Epitaph records. Then we made the S&M Airlines LP. It was weird, we made a good record and people actually started to like us. Before 89, we had never made more than 200 dollars at a show(lucky to make 100). From there on out things got better. 10 records, and about 15 world tours later, we’re still here, and happier now than ever. Now we can afford the best drugs and booze, and we get comped on tons of great golf courses all over the country. We don’t make videos, we don’t do interviews, and we only play shows in warm months, (good golf weather). We even got a gold record a few years ago. Cool. It never even charted once, but it went gold anyway. So there it is. NOFX, a hella happy punk band. Now if we could only get that asshole out of the white house, everything would be great.

Oh yeah. In 91 we got a second guitarist in the band. His name is El Hefe and he was in “The Bad News Bears” when he was 12. He played Miguel. See ya.

A Little “Underground Music History” In Indonesia

2011-10-12T06:47:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to save an interesting archive important about the history traces the development of rock music in the country. For references and sources that I got from Googling the results turned out to be in one's mail archives. Please enjoy, surely you will like me, who was shocked to read it.
At the beginning
Embryo-born underground rock music scene in Indonesia is difficult to remove from the evolution of pioneer rocker-rocker era of the '70s as its predecessor. Call it like God Bless, Gang Pegangsaan, Gypsy (Jakarta), Giant Step, Super Kid (Bandung), Terncem (Solo), AKA / SAS (Surabaya), Bentoel (Malang) until Rawe Rontek of Banten. They are the first generation of rockers Indonesia. The term is actually already used its own underground magazine topical since the early era of 70 - an. The term is used magazines and music pioneer lifestyles from Bandung was to identify the bands that play loud music in a more 'wild' and `extreme 'for the size of his era. And to be honest, the songs are played by the bands mentioned above are not the work of their own songs, but to the foreign bands kind of Deep Purple, Jefferson Airplane, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Kansas, Rolling Stones to ELP . This counterproductive tradition and historyhis name had on the national stage. Call it like El Pamas, Grass Rock (Malang), Power Metal (Surabaya), Adi Metal Rock (Solo), Val Halla (Medan) to Roxx (Jakarta). Also log too, who gave birth of the first rock record label in Indonesia, Logiss Records. The first product is an album labelsGod Bless the third, "Black Ant" which was released in 1988 and sold nearly 400,000 records in Indonesia.
Towards the end of the '80s, all over the world at that time young people are experiencing fever thrash metal music. A development of musical style that is more extreme than heavy metal. Bands that became his gods, among others, Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Megadeth, Kreator, Sodom, Anthrax to Sepultura. Most big cities in Indonesia like Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Malang to Bali, scene undergroundnya first born of the extreme music genre. In Jakarta alone metal community first appeared in public in early 1988. Community child metal (the term was not yet popular underground) was used to hang out at the Pid Pub, a small pub in the shopping center Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. According to Krishna J. Sadrach, Sucker Head frontman, besides hanging out, kids who hang out there by Aunt Esther, Pid Pub owner, given the opportunity to get a gig there. Every night of the week is usually always a live show of the new bands in the Pid Pub and most bands that carry the rock or metal.

Bands who often hangs out at the scene Pid Pub, among others Roxx (Metallica & Anthrax), Sucker Head (Creators & Sepultura), Commotion Of Resources (Exodus), painfull Death, Rotor (Creator), Razzle (GN'R) , husky (DRI & MOD), body, Mortus until Alien Scream (Obituary). Some of the bands on the next trip is splitting into many new bands. Commotion Of Resources is a gothic metal band embryo of sap, while the rough is old embryo death metal band Alien Scream. Additionally Oddie, painfull Death vocalist form the next industrial group in the United States Sic Mynded with Rudi Soedjarwo (director What's With Love?). The rotor itself was formed in 1992 after guitarist cabutnya Sucker Head, who felt the concept Irvan Sembiring Head Sucker music was still less extreme for him.
The spirit that brought our predecessors is still struggling pattern long tradition of 'school', proud to be the band's cover versions! Among them all, only the lucky Roxx recording for their first single, "Rock echo". This happens because they are one of the finalists Rock Festival-Indonesia to Se-V. Get a recording contract from the label is the obsession is too much at that time. Never mind the recordings, demo recordings can be played on the radio they are happy. It was a regular radio station aired music rock / metal is the Bahamas Radio, Radio Metro and Radio SK Jaya. From some of the radio is probably the most legendary Mustang Radio. They have a program called Rock N 'Rhythmairs every Wednesday night from 19.00 - 21.00 pm. This radio station even disatroni dedengkot directly by Brazilian thrash metal, Sepultura, when they came to Jakarta in June 1992. In addition to the medium of radio, mass media are often to review the news rock / metal at that time only HAI Magazine, Tabloid Magazines Vista Music and Image.
Besides hanging out at the Pid Pub every weekend, these metal kids hanging out daily in the parking Retna Pharmacies located in Cilandak, South Jakarta. Some young celebrities first time hanging out together (groupies?) Metal kids, among others, Ayu Azhari, Cornelia Agatha, Latjuba Sophia, Karina Suwandi to Kris Kristofferson. Actress Ayu Azhari himself even as his wife dipersunting by (late) Jodhie Gondokusumo which is the lead vocalist and also GumRotor former vocalist.
Not how far from Retna Pharmacy, other locations are often used as rehearsal location is the Studio One Feel, which is the most legendary studio practice and the way almost all the bands rock / metal long been routine practice capital here. Pid Pub addition, an alternative venue where bands rock undergroundgig at that time was the Black Hole and restaurant Manari Open Air Museum Satria Mandala (the forerunner Poster Café). Beyond that, performing arts and music events campus MA often also in the "infiltration" by those metal bands. Some of the historical pensi include Pamsos (SMA 6 Bulungan), PL Fair (SMAPangudi Luhur), Kresikars (SMA 82), music events campus of the UniversityNational (Pejaten), Gunadarma University, University of Indonesia (Depok), Unika Atmajaya Jakarta, Indonesia Institute of Technology (Serpong) to the University Jayabaya (Pulomas).
Berkonsernya two international metal supergroup in Indonesia, Sepultura (1992) and Metallica (1993) give considerable contribution to the development of metal bands of its kind in Indonesia. Not long after Sepultura successful "burn" the Jakarta and Surabaya, speed metal band Roxx released self-titled debut album under theirBlackboard label. This cassette album would become one of the classic speed metal album of the 90s era Indonesia. The same is also experienced by the rotor. Metallica concert opening a phenomenal success for two consecutive days at the Stadium Lebak Bulus, rotor and then thrash metal release of the first major label in Indonesia, Behind The 8th Ball (AIRO). Capitalize the recommendation of Metallica's tour manager, and honors the 30 million dollars twice a Metallica concert opening, the rotor personnel (minus drummer Bakkar Bufthaim) exodus to the land of Uncle Sam to tempt fate. Sucker Head himself recorded late in releasing their debut album than the bandrest of their contemporaries. After the major local label, AquariusMusikindo, just at the beginning of 1995 they released the album `The Head Sucker '. Head Sucker recorded up to now been released four albums.
From such a long journey underground rock in the ground water, may be new in the first half decade of 90-anlah started many scene-established underground scene in real sense in Indonesia. In Jakarta alone consolidation massive metal scene centered in Block M in early 1995. At that time some metal kids oftenseen hanging out on the 6th floor game center in Blok M Plaza and a well-known restaurant franchise there. Their activities other than hang out is the exchange of information about local bands daninternasional, CD barter, buying and selling t-shirts metal to plan for organizing the concert. Some others chose again to hang out in the basement of Block Mall, which happened to be located underground.
In this era of massive hype that metal music is loved the more extreme subgenre of death metal, brutal death metal, grindcore, black metal to gothic / doom metal. Some bands are more glossy name in this era is Grausig, Trauma, Aaarghhh, Skull, Delirium Tremens, Corporation of Bleeding, Adaptor, Betrayer, sadistic, Godzilla and the like. The skull grindcore band in 1996 even as the band recorded a mini album was first released independently in Jakarta with the title `It's A Proud To Vomit Him '. The album was recorded in a professional manner at Triple M Studio, Jakarta, with sound engineer Harry Widodo (previously handling the album Roxx, Rotor, Coil, Puppen and PAS).
1996 also had time to record the birth of the first underground music fanzine in Jakarta, brainwashed zine. The first edition appeared brainwashed by displaying the cover 24 pages and profiles Grausig band Trauma, and Delirium Tremens Betrayer. In the type of computer operating system based on Windows 3.1 and lay-out cut n 'paste a traditional, brainwashed and then reproduced 100 copies with a copier writer's own brother. In subsequent editions too brainwashed to review hardcore bands, punk and even ska. After rising to four photocopied editions, in 1997 had brainwashed professionally printed magazine-style with a coverfull color. Until 1999, only brainwashed strong rises of up to seven editions, before finally in 2000 the author initiated the format of the e-zine on the internet (www.bisik.com). Similar media that is more consistent rises in Jakarta, among others, Morbid Noise zine, Guerilla zine, Rottrevore zines, zine and Cosmicso on.
29 September 1996 marked the beginning of a new era for the development of underground rock in Jakarta. Exactly on that day indie music events held for the first time in Poster Café. The show called "Underground Session" is held once every two weeks on a weekday evening. Café owned by legendary rocker geeksAhmad Albar is a lot of bearing and rearing of new indie music scene that plays different music genres and more varied. The birth scene Brit / indie pop, ska explosion is phenomenal era 1997 - 2000 up to the historic mass brawl between the mass fraction of Jakarta with Bandung occurred also in this place.

March 10, 1999 is the day of the death scene Poster Café for ever. On that day for the last time music events held there (subnormal Revolution) that led to great unrest among the masses of punk with the citizens to effect the destruction of several cars and show his teeth in local police disperse the crowd. Poster Café unexpected unraveling of many birth-venue alternative venue for each of the indie music scene. Butterfly Café Bulungan often used in ska music scene, Pondok Indah Water Park, 2000 GM café and Café Gueni in Cikini to scene Brit / indie pop, Parakeet De Javu Club in Menteng for gigs punk / hardcore and indie pop. Later BB's Bar the super-narrow in Menteng is often hired to show garage-rock, mellow new wave punk rock is now in hot, such as The Upstairs, grin, The Brandals, C'mon Lennon, Killed By Butterfly, Sajama Cut,Devotion and more. Among them, perhaps the most 'neutral' and used cross-scene yangterletak Nirvana Café in the basement of Hotel Maharadja, South Jakarta. In this place, last January 13, 2002, history Puppen `kill 'them in a historic concert entitled," Puppen: Last Show Ever ", a series of final shows before the band disbanded Bandung.
Scene Punk / Hardcore / Brit / Indie Pop
Invasion music grunge / alternative, and the release of the album Kiss This Sex Pistols in 1992 was enough to trigger a powerful tool in delivery of new bands that do not play metal music. For example, Aer Pestol band from the beginning of Young Offender community that their work is often to cover the Sex Pistols' songs complete with dress-up punk and mohawknya haircut. Uniquely, the next trip, circa 1994, Pestol Aer then change the direction of their music into a band that brought the genre of british / indie pop a la The Stone Roses. That said, this historic eventlater became a significant moment for the development scene british / indie pop in Jakarta. Before disbanding, in mid-1997 they had released their debut album titled `... Jang Doeloe '. Initial generation of the brit pop scene, these include the band's Hospital, Wondergel, Planet Earth, Orange, Jellyfish, Squeeze Hair, Room-V,Parklife to Death Goes To The Disco.
Aer pistol was not the first punk band, this capital city in 1989 had given birth punk / hardcore pioneers Antiseptic who often plays the numbers belong to the Black Flag, The Misfits, DRI until the Sex Pistols. Lukman (Waiting Room / The Superglad) and Robin (Sucker Head / Noxa) is an alumnus of the band also. In addition to frequent gigs in Jakarta, Antiseptic also had a gig at the legendary rockfest Bandung, Hullabaloo II in late 1994. Antiseptic own debut album is titled `Finally 'new release eight years later (1997) in DIY There are also bands like Ocean that played alternative music a la Jane's Addiction and others, unfortunately they could not release the tape.
In addition, in early 1990, Jakarta also scored punk rock band The Idiots who originally duets to cover the songs of The Exploited. Not much different from the Antiseptic, just nine years later, The Idiots who released their debut album titled `Living Comfort In Anarchy 'via indie label Movement Records. Community-community of punk / hardcore also mushroomed in Jakarta in the era of the 90s. In addition to Young Offender community before, there is also a community of South Sex (SS) in the area of Radio Dalam, subnormal in Kelapa Gading, Semi-People in Duren Sawit, Brotherhood in Slipi, Locos in Blok M to SID Gank in Rawamangun.

Compilation album of punk / hardcore classic is Still One Still Proud (Movement Records) which contains singles from Sexy Pig, The Idiots, Cryptical Death to Out Of Control.
Bandung scene
In Bandung in early 1994 contained a music studio that became the forerunner of the legendary underground rock scene there. Reverse his name studios are located in areas Sukasenang. The establishment of this studio was conceived by Richard Mutter (then drummer PAS) and Helvi. When growing Reverse then expanded its business byopen distro (acronym of the distribution) that sells CDs, tapes, posters, t-shirts, and various other imported accessories. Apart from distribution, Richard also had formed an independent label that releases his first 40.1.24 in 1997 is a compilation CD titled "Masaindahbangetsekalipisan." Indie bands who participated in this compilation include Burger Kill, Puppen, Papi, Rotten To The Core, Full of Hate and Waiting Room, as the only band from Jakarta.
Bands that had been raised by community Reverse include PAS and Puppen. PAS itself in 1993 made history as the first Indonesian band released the album independently. Mini-album is titled "Four Through The SAP '5000 tape sold out in a short amount of time. Mastermind who gave birth to the idea of releasing the album independently PAS is a (late) Samuel Marudut. He was Music Director of Radio GMR, the first rock radio station in Indonesia, which often play a recording demos amateur rock bands from Bandung, Jakarta and surrounding areas. Tragically, in early 1995 Marudut found dead lifeless at the residence of Krishna Sucker Head in Jakarta. Surprisingly, this death, according to Krishna, accompanied by the song The End of the album Best of The Doors is dialed on tape in the rooms of Krishna. Meanwhile Puppen formed in 1992 is one of the pioneers of local hardcore until his death in 2002 had released three albums namely, Not A Pup EP (1995), MK II (1998) and Puppen s / t (2000). Pure Saturday followed by a self-titled album. The album was later assisted his promotion by O Magazine. Cubic is also experiencing the same thing, by way of a bonus 3 track cassette album before release.
A little to the east, still in Bandung as well, we'll find a community that became the epicenter of underground metal in there, the community Berung Edge. Formerly in this area could stand a lot of meritorious Studio Palapa raised bands rock underground bodies of sorts, Forgotten, Sacrilegious, Sonic Torment, Morbus Corpse, Tympanic Membrane, Infamy, Burger Kill, and so on. It was here in early 1995 and then rising in Indonesia's first music fanzine called Revograms Zine. Dinan editor, is the vocalist of the band Sonic Torment which has a unique single titled "Talking Machete". Revograms Zine had three times the rise recorded and all of the materials he dealt with the metal bands / local and international hardcore.
Then taklama then fanzine indie like Swirl, Thirteen, Burning Boundaries and others enliven the indie media. Ripple and Trolley appeared as a magazine that discusses trends and subcultures Bandung lifestylenya jug. Trolley bankrupt in 2002, while Ripple pocket change from magazine to magazine format standard. While generally photocopied fanzine which until now still continue to exist. She exclaimed in Bandung is not only music but also the extreme forward popnya indie scene. Since Pure Saturday arise, the indie pop or alternative, such as Cherry Bombshell, Sieve, White Rice up to date as the Milo, Mocca, Homogenic. Similarly, the ska scene that actually existed long before the big ska trend. Noin Bullet and bands such as Agent Skins have long brought the genre of this music.
Anyone who has witnessed underground rock concert in Bandung would not forget the famous GOR Saparua up to various corners of the country. For indie bands, venues are like a sacred building full of magical power. Bandung any band out if not in `godfather 'here yet Afdhal taste. Artifacts subculture's most legendary underground Bandung is convening a silent witness such a phenomenal rock show Hullabaloo, noisy until Bandung Bandung Underground. The number of spectators every occasions over the relatively spectacular, between 5000 - 7000 spectators! Ticket entry only to be traded with all the fantastic price by scalpers. Maybe this is a separate record of unsolved up to now in Indonesia for the size of underground rock show.
Had dubbed as a barometer of underground rock in Indonesia, Bandung is a city that offers a million clever ideas for the progress of the national scene. Distributions boom that swept across Indonesia today also spearheaded by the city. The success of indie albums selling in the tens of thousands of pieces that the band experienced Mocca also started from this city. Even Burger Kill, Indonesia hardcore band who first signed a contract with a major label, Sony Music Indonesia, also grew up in this city. Not to mention the magazine Trolley (RIP) and Ripple current that seemed to be reincarnated in the present, remain loyal to the largest portion coverage for local indie bands cool kind of coil, Kubik, Balcony, The Bahamas, Blind To See, Rocket Rockers, The Milo , Teenage Death Star, Communal until the SIGIT Please check webzine Bandung, Death Rock Star (www.deathrockstar.tk) to prove it. Original, one city, this is not no death!
Scene Jogjakarta
City student was nicknamed formally, but who would have thought that this city was also one of the strongest underground rock scene in Indonesia? Well, let's explore a little history. Underground metal community Jogjakarta Jogja Corpsegrinder one of them is. This community had published a fanzine Metal Human Waste, Megaton and the magazine held a legendary metal in there, Jogja Brebeg. Until now the event has been held ten times! Underground metal bands from the old town, among others, Death Vomit, Mortal Scream, impurity, Brutal Corpse, Mystis, Ruction.

As for the scene indie rock / pop, some names that should be in the highlights is the Seek Six Sick, Bangkutaman, Strawberry's Pop to The Monophones. In addition, the coolest ska band ever born in Indonesia, Shaggy Dog, is also from this city. Shaggy Dog is now contracted to EMI later even being engrossed in the concert touring around Europe for 3 months!

Parkinsound # 3 held on July 6, 2001 last of which displays the Garden Of The Blind, Mock Me Not, Teknoshit, Fucktory, Melancholic Bitch upEvil Machines.
Scene Surabaya
Underground rock scene in Surabaya began with growing-development wing of independent bands death metal / grindcore around mid 1995. The history begins with the formation of Surabaya Expo event (sort of in DKI Jakarta Fair - Red) where underground metal bands such as, Slowdeath, Torture, Dry, Venduzor, Bushido gig at a music event in the event.
After the event, each band is then agreed to set up an organization called the Independent. Base camp from the organizational purpose of the establishment as a unifying container as well as means of information dissemination between musician / underground metal band this time was concentrated in areas Ngagel Mulyo or rather the band's studio Retri Beauty (death metal band with all its personnel are women, now RIP - Red) . Members of the organization which is the origin of the formation of underground metal scene in Surabaya is deliberately limited to only about 7-10 bands only.
Plan for Independent first time it is underground rock concert in the Garden of Youth, but this plan failed because of busy consolidating in the scene. After getting clear and begin growing underground metal scene in Surabaya in late December 1997 the organization officially disbanded Independent. This effort was undertaken to extend the network to the less-insulated bulkhead or become fragmented communities.
In the last days before the dissolution of the Independent organization, the division recorded their record label had released several albums belong to the bands death metal / grindcore Surabaya. For example Slowdeath's debut album is titled "From Enthusiasm to Sordid Mindless Self-Destruction" (September 96), Dry debut album titled "Under The Veil of Religion" (97), Brutal Torture "Carnal Abuse", Death "Cemetery of Celerage" until the debut album's Inside Feartitled "Mindestruction". In the following years of underground metal in Surabaya then flooded by the release of the album's release, Growl, Thandus, Holy Terror, Kendath until Pejah.
In place of the Independent and then formed Surabaya Underground Society (SUS) right on New Year's Eve 1997 on the campus of the University of 45, during an event held amok I. It was in Surabaya also has a lot of new bands popping up with the flow of black metal music. One of the old death metal band that is, dry and then move the concept of music in line with the swift black metal musical influences in Surabaya at that time.
Only lasted less than a few months, the SUS in the same year hit split in it. Band-wing black metal band then split up to form a new vessel called ARMY OF DARKNESS that has a base location in the area of Karang Rejo. In contrast to the black metal, death metal bands subsequently decided not to join to form a new organization. Later in the month of September 1997 event was held at IKIP Surabaya amok II. This event and then record their own history as the most successful event in Surabaya at that time. 25 bands death metal and black metal look from morning to evening and watched by approximately 800-1000 people. Ghosts, black metal band from Bekasi also perform at the event as the band's invitation.
Extreme metal scene in Surabaya at that time was more dominated by bands of black metal than death metal / grindcore. They are also more intense in the organization of musical events because of the large amount of black metal black metal band that appears. Then black metal recorded a successful event held in Surabaya like ARMY OF DARKNESS I and II.
Exact date of June 1, 1997 formed the underground community INFERNO 178 headquarters is located in the Dharma Husada (Prof. Jl.. DR. Moestopo, Red). In a place that is somewhat similar to home-shop (commercial) was noted there are several business divisions namely, distribution, music studios, indie labels, fanzine, cafe and event organizer for underground events in Surabaya. The events that never in the title by 178 Inferno, among others, STOP THE MADNESS, HIGH VOLTAGE I & II until BLUEKHUTUQ LIVE.
Underground rock bands that now shelter under the flag of Inferno 178, among others, Slowdeath, The Sinners, Severe Carnage, System Sucks, Freecell, Bluekuthuq and so on. Metal fanzine Inferno community of origin 178, Surabaya named POST MANGLED first published at that time in the event I HIGH VOLTAGE at the Airlangga University campus with the appearance of bands punk rock and metal. The event was classified as less successful because at the same time also held an event black metal. Unfortunately, this is also followed by mandegnya MANGLED Zine POST cultivation process that do not release the newest edition to date.
Thus, to anticipate the occurrence of stagnation or information gaps in the scene, was born later HARDLINE newsletter first published in February 1999. Photocopied newsletter format has a number of 4 pages were extensively covered the various activities of underground metal music, punk to HC not only in Surabaya alone but more broadly. According to their positive response was more to come precisely from outside Surabaya city itself. Somehow, they think the public underground rock in Surabaya less appreciative and minimal support for the publication of an independent kind of fanzine or newsletter. Until the end of his life HARDLINE newsletter has been published up to the 12th edition.
Division of Inferno 178 indie labels at least until about 10 release of the album still uses Independent's name as the name of their label. New entrants in 2000 who then label 178 Productions Inferno Official producing albums Surabaya's oldest punk band, The Sinners, entitled "Hatred event".

This album was recorded sold out although still in limited quantities only. Sold 200 copies without rest.
Scene Malang
City of cold air that traveled about three hours drive from Surabaya is proved to have underground rock scene are "hot" since the early decades of the 90s. Tersebutlah name Suffer Total Community (TSC), which became the driving force for the rise of underground rock community in Malaysia since early 1995. Members of this community consists of various musicians cross-scene, but his dominance remainsJust metal kids. Underground rock concert that was first held in the city of Malang is also organized by this community.

Metalhead in Indonesia where it does not know the rotor? Departing from the splinter group Sucker Head in the early decades of the 90s, a local metal band trhash the first time this recording more success skyrocketed after his name became a supporting act supergroup Metallica concert for two consecutive days at the stadium Lebak Bulus, Jakarta. The rotor had a long try his fortune in the land of Uncle Sam, but frustrating when it knew had to compete with 40,000 metal bands like yag is also hunting a recording contract there.
During the eight years of his musical career, Rotor bringing forth four albums in three different major labels: AIRO, Hemagita and Warner Music Indonesia. Before officially disbanded, bassist Rotor (Judapran) dies because of drugs. Later, their former vocalist (Jodie, vocalist Gum) a charismatic also died. Remains is the founder and guitarist living Rotor, M. Sembiring Irvan, who had hung the guitar for good and pursue a new sheet of his life as a preacher! "If anyone dared to modalin, rotor would not be a reunion anytime soon is also" firmly Irvan.
Rotor's history of the establishment can not be released from the big name Sucker Head. Pioneering thrash metal band formed late '80s tersbut originally was home to guitarist Irvan Sembiring. At the end of 1990 after a concert in Kresikars (performing arts high school 82) he resigned from the Sucker Head to form the rotor along the Seto (guitar), Educate (bass) and Bakkar Bufthaim (Dram). Educate and formerly a personnel Bakkar One Feel The band is also the name of a popular studio in numbers Cilandak, South Jakarta. According to Irvan who give us the name of rotor time was Seto. "Let's fast Rotor music sounded like a plane propeller".
Irvan's departure from Head Sucker had become a byword among metal kids (note: the term underground was not popular) capital at that time. But he denied that he pull for engaging friction with other personnel "I pull it off because pingin menggeber Head Sucker metal music over speeding and extreme, while the Nano (second guitarist Head Sucker) tends to be affected Iron Maiden, more heavy metal". Said the boy was born in Surabaya, 2 March 1970 it opened the card.
Although established in Jakarta, but the stage debut Rotor Hats exactly happened in the Garden, Bogor, in the performance of a rock which lauched by private radio stations there, the quartet is menggung Thrasher metal with colleagues in Jakarta, including Scream Atomic and Allen. At that time they still carry the Sepultura's repertoire. "Was the album Sepultura Schizophrenia", recalls Irvan. Right after the first gig, two rotor personnel resigned from the band. Seto entry into Head Sucker guitarist and a bass Roxx Educate join. "Seto Just had five times the Head Sucker gigging together for a concert opening band Slank, after that he pull there too."

Up here, living rotor was then inhabited by two personnel for the second time gig at the campus "Metal" Fate's pujanggawan Sutan Alisjahbana located at number Pejaten; National University. "Chairman of the committee show that moment the Ucok Batara (former vocalist Edane)". Unfortunately, Irvan forgot who was playing bass in the rotor at that time. First he says Judapran (former GN'R epigones base band, Razzle) but then immediately diralatnya "If not one bass player Ucok 'Sleepy'. But she does not know the song Rotor, just home games only. Pokonya panteng the chords E continues, definitely go. Thrash wrote metalkan most kordnya there.
Interestingly, when this is confirmed directly to Ucok 'Sleepy' the next day, a guitarist who now play in the Brain The Machine is denied "I really had to audition as a base rotor. It was also in the studio, with another candidate, but I never gig with Rotor. "
In short, after officially joining Juparan rotor, the trio was then working on a demo tape with the live studio recording system One Feel. Do not byangkan cool demo kayaks today. Rotor demo tape was still very traditional "Just two tracks, left-right, guitar and drums doing it, there's no vocalnya." Capitalize cassette demo "primitife" Irvan's desperate offer merkea musical concepts to major record labels that exist in the capital and it turns out ... fail! No one labels interested in signing the band with music as extreme rotor at that time.
Metal is the credo for children abstinence frustrating! This motto is very trusted by Irvan that indeed he had admitted himself hard and ambitious character. Shortly after the "objections" earlier, this supple Irvanyang Pay Siburian met with (then still Slank guitarist) and rock singer (deceased) Andy Liani. Interaction with the local rock star was certainly the hope of bias mengenjot Rotor name to the next level "then the other kids like Armand maulana, Thomas, Baron (Gigi), Sam and Kidnap Katrina was' trash. Already become a superstar suma Slank doing. Own Anang Krisdayanti had not been going out with a new, didemenin wrote. "Kenang Irvan sembali smile.
Irvan bergaulnya process with old skool rocker-rocker cukuo capital was crazy. He said, "the old days if you've hung out, could be two weeks I just got back home. Bring your guitars and amps nomadic life of my little studio kestudio one another. Pay the same ngikutin children wrote, for example today working on Anggun (C. Sasmi) and Anang at Studio Triple-M, the next day in the studio JK Ita Purnamasari in Pluit, so continue. "
Thanks to Pay services, in early 1992 was accompanied by Andy Liani Irvan then met Seno Adjie, record label boss AIRO. In front of the little brother of maesenas Irvan Setiawan Djody it was Irvan ignore it set up a demo tape was primitive. Instantly confused Seno also fitted out a demo tape was still the instrument and no vocalnya. "How would its value, ya?" Said Irvan Seno imitate speech. "Fine (tape) on rewind wrote," said Irvan lightly. As a result, once the tape is played and the music rang out, "sing" Irvan live in front of prospective producers of the rotor. "I was screaming like a madman in her room. Mas Seno Just benggong and shaking his head, while Ali Akbar and Andy Liani on laughter-laughter. "Kenang Irvan proud.Incidentally, not long after Setiawan Djody invite banf Brazilian thrash metal, Sepultura to hold a concert in Jakarta and Surabaya. Hearing the metal hero hero would come, just menyatroni king Irvan tanker was in his office to register the rotor as a supporting act Sepultura, according Djody, CS Irvan lost quickly with Eet Syaranie and Ecky Lamoah of Edane, "If you're coming a month ago wrote, must bias. But now we've signed a contract at Edane, "said Irvan Djody imitate speech.

Successfully opened a Metallica concert at the stadium Lebak Bulus, Rotor next day were invited to participate in the farewell party held at the Hard Rock Café Jakarta. Had been an "incident" with a minor between Irvan's Kirk Hammet wktu. Story like this, ketikaa hanging out at one table, Metallica-haired guitarist kriwil iru offer food to Irva. Basic Malay people, Irvan haluis bid rejected by Hammet proficiency level. Seeing his offer was rejected, cash only Hammet angry and left the table. "He's one interpretation. Indonesia's customs if ditawarin something certainly not immediately accepted, so feel free rada, recent new disabet deh hehehehe ..., "Irvan said chuckling.
New round trips a local thrash metal band named rotor followed by hijrahnya Irva, Jodie and Judha to Los Angeles, Amrik. In the city famous throughout the world as one of the world's epicenter of rock music industry they are trying to tempt fate, hoping to follow in the footsteps Sepultura, the Brazilian band that successfully penetrate Amrik. Reeve then living alone who still stay in Indonesia "He's only recently we catch up to Amrik." Reeve was never thought if it's friendly people of Indonesia-friendly, especially the girls. As long as he's big in America selsalu dealing with Caucasians, Caucasians are arrogant.
Rotor Dramer it actually had come to Los Angeles to meet other personnel, but he only lasted two days and after that even returning to their homeland. According to Irvan, that's the last meeting with Reeve because after that he claimed never met let alone making contact with Reeve. Irvan then finally took agreement with the other personnel to find a replacement Reeve. The next episode, visit Soedjarwo Rotor with Rudy, a versatile musician who is also the son of former police chief who was a business management course at a college there. Rudy's now popular to direct the film "What's With Love" is then a Dramer Rotor.
Irvan admits that life as an immigrant musician in America is a very serious challenge. According to the husband Beautiful (former guitarist of metal band girl Joystick) Amrik person was classified as super-cool "They do not care nothing wrong with the way ngebandnya," Irvan said, adding that the search for the band's popularity in Indonesia is much more easily than abroad. "His opponent really tight in there. Imagine wrote, metal bands have the same music with the rotor and again looking for a recording contract there are 40,000-an amount that time band. "

When I was in America, Rotor is also only a few times a gig there and it was still in the environmental community of Indonesia as well. "No easy job getting a gig if the band did not have any agency in America," said Irvan told his experience. Seeing the conditions that are not so friendly with musicians these migrants claimed Irvan still trying to survive by memujudkan can membus American dream!.
In order to survive in the long run in America, considered the most efficient Irvan claims among other personel2x. "Other kids are often really wandering from one pub to pub night the other night, including hanging out in pubs Rainbow frequent sex didatengin artists like Joe Rivera, Ron Jeremy to Savannah," Irvan said, adding that he would prefer to create new songs in the studio than Rudy's Pub nongkrong2x a lot of cost.
In addition to diligently send 200 promo tape Behind The 8th album to various labels rakaman-existing record label in America, Irvan also mamantau intensive development of music in there from various music magazines, or if there is a quiet time to spend some time watching the concert local metal bands in the pub.
He added that there are actually three independent record labels out there who are interested in re-releasing the debut album Rotor. "Our mistake precisely because Metallica's portfolio includes opening means we've been contacted by a major label in Indonesia," he said rada regret.
"They were willing to sign our certificate of origin there AIRO that their labels Terotori only operating in Indonesia alone and not the entire world. Unfortunately, we fit into homeland contacts, parties, AIRO supportive impressed not respond to this. "Hence, amblaslah dream rotor to bias signed a contract with record label Amrik.
"Actually there is a possibility that would only happen to musicians who pengin speculate immigrants in America. The more racing excitement or even frustrated by seeing so intense competition there, "Irvan koar again. Unfortunately, it was the second thing that occurs in the rotor.

'Indie Label' Media Most Specials Steering wheel Okay

2011-10-11T08:50:00.000-07:00

Success is the goal of almost every person who chooses music as a profession or way of life. Some also fill out the music to meet the "inner needs" in realizing the creations.
How does this group of musicians who want to reap the fruits in this business, but has not been able to achieve market demand or the stage of the provisions adopted by a record company official or commonly known as the Major Labels.

"For Infidel" A metal band based in Jakarta had asked several times a demo album of their band to some well known music company in Jakarta, but always get the boring answer. On average they receive is the reason that their music is not in accordance with the "weather" music that is a trend, some say too loud and aggressive, even someone answers on the grounds "monotonous". It was indeed a painful response. But Dean as a member of the band wing underground rock hard and it did not despair. He and his friend's friend who had agreed to choose the path before, they had plans to produce the work that has been released with difficulty be "independent".

The path chosen by the Dean and his friends are as the best and most powerful solution that is always taken by the band groups in the country, even almost a group of musicians around the world. Producing recordings by indie labels have a lot of plus values to be had. Many consider the idea is the best alternative choice for musicians who wasted by the market. Moreover, while the type of music is R & B and Pop music scene Indonesia dominate the market, like almost no longer a place for musicians who still exist in the path of Hardrock and Heavy Metal music such as the golden age of guitar hero in the era of 80 to 90's.
However, indie labels are not as media 'slam the steering wheel' for the band sort of "For Infidel". Some of them chose Indie Label acting as the initial plan. "Besides being able to be produced at reasonable cost and the amount of production adapted to the willingness and ability, in creating the kind of music was not limited to when determining the theme of the cover or packaging. All can be expressed as we like, aka no limits, "said Dean explains. Many of the individuals or group of people who want to offer themselves or in collaboration became a producer to finance the production of a band, from recording to marketing fund. Sometimes agreement is reached is in the form of profit sharing compensation between the producer with a band worth 70% -30% of the total value of sales.
Apart from the affordable production costs of marketing the tape or CD is in production to indie label is unique. Kammay one of his band's drummer, "tomb" a homage to Grindcore also added, "Usually the way taken is through a mutual friend to friends around or outside the region, entrust to the distros (outlet), sometimes also held a stall when an event is ongoing and certainly also utilize the sophistication of the Internet as a medium of transaction ". Plus, the knowledge of whom there is no law that prohibits the business activity, so the benefit from producing to be free of cost kepabeaan, "he said.

Not a few bands that are famous again chose the path of indie labels, even though previously they had reaped success with the official music recording company. The average reasonable and do not want unfettered transfixed by the provisions of the record companies, they are disappointed because it was so focused orientied profit.
Besides, many musicians are furious and aggrieved because the culture affected by piracy. Moreover, the tendency of people to download (download) songs for free via the internet more lively and can barely weir again.
Indie phenomenon did not occur in the country alone. World-class band like Radiohead, Oasis and Jamiroquai Musicians expressed leave their record company. Trent Reznor a vocalist group band Nine Inch Nails, kejenuhannya states in the band's official website, "Over the past 18 years I worked, I saw this business changed radically from one thing and to things beyond". He growled. Reznor annoyed because the price of a CD album entitled "Year Zero" which was released in 2006 priced at $ 30, when it began to enliven the market. He considered it very much.
On the other hand many people judge the perpetrators of the music industry has some interest. We can not deny, the major record labels and famous are part of a company that stands as it aims to find the profit or gain. They're tied to investment, certainly takes advantage of the short-term or as soon as possible. So, sometimes have to make choices or make policies according to the musician in question is not wise. * Fay shared by : jakarta (BUSER KRIMINAL)

VARIOUS MODELS OF ROCK MUSIC

2011-10-10T08:37:00.000-07:00

Andreij Eijkov wrote in his blog (karonkeren.multiply.com edition of March 21, 2011 1:38 AM), I give the example Kimung, ex Burgerkill metalcore band. He is an adherent of Islam and also a metalhead. I listened through some of his writings. Childhood and adolescence he understands many of the teachings of Islam, and then metal musical tastes teach his anti fascist and anti-discrimination.
Point of intersection of those two things is when he translates his own belief in an anti attitude towards any form of discrimination, including religious and tend to be tolerant of all differences. Is here underground away from the teachings of Islam ... I can not answer! Moreover, examples of Kimung not a new thing in Indonesia, because I also know a lot of underground figure that one side is also still believe the teachings of his religion. (Www.xtremezine.co.cc)
It is true Kimung, former personnel Burgerkill once wrote "When I Decided to Leave the Mosque" on his blog (www.kimun666.multiply.com issue of June 7, 2008 5:37 AM). Since the age of thirty-five years I was at home playing in the mosque. Log SD (1980) and junior (1990).
Asr until sunset every time we arrived we dogdog percussion drums and bersahut-replication, hum shalawat, asmaul Husna, and also our songs of praise to Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad. Throughout shaum even, I and my friends agree to an early meal and a half hours left before dawn and began marching four dogdog us around the complex to enliven the meal Shiam month. Again, again and again as I recall, we did it because the love of Allah SWT and SAW Rasululah. Our creations are peaks in the evening parade dogdog takbiran.

When a group of immigrants who reportedly is a propagator of Islam, a modernist who have advanced thinking in developing the Islamic purify Islam once vigorous, and highly committed to enliven the mosque, came and began to criticize our work, he said noisy, do not use mosques as it should, and start humming- dengungkan issue of heresy. We were alarmed. However, for our love to God, the Prophet, and the music, we keep doing our rituals that. Until finally at night takbiran 1992, after we tired of holding Rampak dogdog, drum, and humming Shalawatan around the village and complex, and we are tired decided to hold our religious music in the field of the mosque, a newcomer, bald fathers, with flushed face toward us. At that time, the night is almost over and takbiran from mosque speakers we're busy-hectic-Talu Talu accompanied by percussion us. The father fell from the highway and rushed toward us.
"Stop!" He exclaimed. "It's not bener! -Talu Talu you are doing is the practice of worship matahri. This is heresy! This musrik! Clearly musrik! "He yelled
As a result, out of the mosque and was thrown in the street. They drive us out of the mosque began to say: "You young people bergajulan! Far from God! Hanging out at the curb, Brang-brag-ga Brong clear! Instead of mosques instead menyumpeki enliven the sidewalk! You're Rubbish! "
Robust, religious understanding occurs in Ivan Firmansyah, scumbag hardcore reckless goons are groundbreaking pioneers Ujungberung Rabels. Kimung recounts in the book My Self: Scumbag, Beyond Life and Death (2007).
At the time of fasting in the month of ramadan It is always advised to keep kawanya et shaum and prayers. Chant of the azan sounded somewhat distant faint mengisaratkan Abid meeting with the Kholik. Aing's geus van drunk! Bebi fierce protests. Eh ..! mah drunk drunk. But nu-five times must go on, ivan replied no less fierce.
This principle is held because Ivan had been portions of the Mosque Building Area Youth Association (Remamuda) Al-Hidayah; Association of Youth Nurul Islam (IRNI); Chairman of the Mosque Youth Junior High School (SMP) 12 Bandung.
The amount of religious patterns contained in the lyrics Unblessing Life-a song on the album last Burgerkill, Beyond Coma and Despair. "Oh god, so pekatnya living soul / death continued Only a faint call / Get rid of expectations that continue to fade / The meaningless / The lusterless / Is this line of life that is not blessed?"
Not to forget the self Addy Gembel, personnel complaints Forgotten all religions and feel close to God through the album dicurahlan God is dead (2001)
Gone was the logic / Burned by lies / They are vile and abject / Hopelessly by the world / Dead Logic, putuslah hope, worship of the world / media Gross, poisoned souls, halalkan sin / God is dead (4x). Dead Logic, putuslah discouraged, the world worship / Fuck all his teachings / Make it real destroy sin / Live with the greed of the world / Spend all the garbage logic / God is dead (4x). Gone was the logic / Burned by lies / They are vile and abject / Hopelessly by the world.
Even when launching the book Three Six Figures! (2005) is thick with keagaman elements. "Gwa just ask for a piece of paradise that so far you have. just a piece of it. among the millions of pieces that have been lo have until today. redemption is lo gwa may have up to infinite time. although to be like that all savings up courage gwa gwa mortgaged front lo. "(Tempo, 26 April 2009)
Religious activities become an integral part in the self-Aci Personnel sue, because the kindergarten teacher at Hope Astana buds. Jl Karang Anyar No. 37 Kec.Astana Anyar Bandung. One personnel permpuan rock music and wear the veil as a marker of a religious Muslim. (Oasis Metro TV, February 17, 2011)
This is the way rock music community over the meanings of religiousness. Because the pattern of diversity is not only viewed from the aspect of ritual (prayer, go to the mosque, attending lectures, wearing cap and veil) alone, but in terms of thinking, behavior and the real work worthy of our lyrics.
