SUPERMAN IS DEAD

ganz83 — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:45:08 GMT

SID, punk rock pioneers of Bali, were born and bred in Kuta Rock City. The band is three chord attitude-heavy young men, by name : Bobby Kool (lead vocal, guitar, a dog lover and a graphic designer) , Eka Rock (low ridin' family man, beer drinker, laid back bass and backing vocal and a warm smilin' Rock 'N Roll bandman, IT warior) , Jrx (low ridin' beer drinking Rock 'N Roll prince charming, drummer and a hairwax junkie, Bar owner)

The name 'Superman is Dead' started its' evolution from Stone Temple Pilot's "Superman Silvergun". The name moved on to "Superman is Dead" cause they like the idea that there's no such thing as a perfect person out there.
SID actually stumbled together in '95, drawn by their common love of Green Day and NOFX. Their influences soon extended to the punk 'n roll genre a la Supersuckers, Living End and Social Distortion, and here they stay. They say what they wanna say, how they wanna say it. In your face, to say it precisely.

SID public image, self described, is "Punk Rock a Bali" (think raw energy of NOFX vs Social Distortion supersonically fueled with beer-soaked Balinese Rockabilly attitude).
History ? SID produced their first three albums independently (the boys worked years of crappy night jobs), with fabulous, small scale indie labels 1997 "Case 15", 1999 "Superman is Dead", 2002 "Bad Bad Bad"(mini album, 6 tracks).

In March 2003, SID finally signed with Sony-BMG Indonesia after extended negotiations regarding their right to sing the majority of their tracks in English and have full artistic rights over their 'image'!! With that decision they single handedly became the first band from Bali to be invited to sign with a major recording label in Indonesia, the first band in their nation (to my knowledge) to be recording majority of songs in English and the first punk band in Indonesia to get the national exposure and promotion that working with a major label in a third world country provides. And so the history of Indonesian Punk Rock begins!

And as for the question that everyone wants to know, the infamous bomb in Bali happened about 75 M from their home, hangout center, punk rock boutique, bar and rehearsal studio that is also Jrx' house, in the heart of Kuta.
After panel beating back the rolling doors of the studio and shifting a little debris, rehearsals continued as usual. Yeah, they saw a lot, it sucked big time, but its' not gonna stop 'em!

And where are they now? At the end of 2002, one of the more respectable music mags here cited SID as "The Next Big Thing" for 2003. With the release of their fourth album "Kuta Rock City" followed by major air play nationally and in some countries overseas, coupled with the instant popularity of their newest film clip.

SID suddenly find themselves touring continuously throughout Indonesia. Last week they were in four major Indonesian cities, on three islands, in 7 days! Sometimes playing for free at underground scene clubs, sometimes at street skate parties or alternative band festivals, at lots of universities and even occasionally at "classy" venues who would have probably denied them entrance years ago!
Which means more beers for all.

In 2003 SID even got a mention in Time Asia.
They also won a few music awards "MTV Awards for The Best New Artist 2003”, "AMI Awards for The Best New Artist 2003” and nominated again in "AMI Awards 2006 for The Best Rock Album”.

October 2007, they did an amazing Australian tour, 8 cities, 16 gigs, 33 days with their strong D.I.Y work ethic.
SID had share stages with international bands such as International Noise Conspiracy, NOFX, MXPX and Hoobastank.
They remain proud, boys from the streets of Kuta with a love of punk rock, beers and a good time. Ready for whatever comes next, excited about the next gig.

Pee wee Konser di KL

Nama Pee Wee Gaskins merajai pentas seni (pensi) sekolah-sekolah di Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Band asal ibu kota itu pun kini masih menikmati gelar pangeran pensi dengan santai.

"Kita maunya disebut pangeran pensi aja. Ya rezeki nggak akan kemana,” ujar Sansan sang vokalis ketika berbincang dengan detikhot baru-baru ini.

Band yang digawangi Aldy (drum), Omo (kibord), Dochi (gitar), Sansan (vokal) dan Eye (bass) memberi warna baru di kancah musik. Khususnya bagi anak muda yang melulu disuguhi band-band beraroma musik pop Disney.

Pee Wee Gaskins hadir dengan musik rock berbalut elekrik yang menyenangkan. "Senang aja, artinya anak muda sekarang selera musiknya beragam. Nggak itu-itu melulu,” jelas Dochi.

Album perdana mereka ‘The Sophomore’ masih jadi konsentrasi mereka. Namun akhir tahun mendatang, Pee Wee Gaskins, akan segera menggarap album kedua. Februari 2010 jadi deadline Pee Wee Gaskins untuk merilisnya.

"Tapi sampai sekarang kita terus ningkatin link, promo di sana sini. Jadi nanti kalau udah semakin seatle kan enak,” tutur Dochi.

DEWASA ITU ADA WAKTUNYA

aneh juga ya ada orang yang melarang orang untuk suka melakukan sesuatu atau senang melakukan yang disuka.. padahal gampang aja sih.. kalo suka ya jalanin, ga suka ya gausah dilakuin.. hal yang simple jadi kompleks.. contohnya gw, walaupun satu keluarga gw ga ada yang suka pedes, gw suka.. gak masalah kayanya.. atau, walau temen2 gw suka duren, gw engga.. tp kalo mereka lagi makan duren gw gak yang "ih ko suka sih kan bau" atau semacamnya.. temen2 gw pada ngerokok tapi gw engga.. tp gw ga nyuruh temen2 gw untuk berhenti merokok.. that's just a way of life.. untuk tulisan kali ini gw pengen nulis yang ga ada bobotnya, ga perlu mikir untuk mencerna yang satu ini, cuma ada satu pesan singkat dan jelas..

betapa ruginya nanti kalo lo sadar lo melakukan sesuatu yang lo suka dan tulus, tapi kesenangan itu diambil hanya karena orang lain bilang lo untuk jangan suka pada suatu hal karena orang itu gak suka

i hang out with zombies without being one of them.

cerita ringan hari ini
ehem..
pada suatu hari, keledai milik seorang petani jatuh ke dalam sumur..
hewan itu menangis memilukan selama berjam-jam sementara si petani memikirkan apa yang harus dilakukannya..
akhirnya, si petani memutuskan bahwa hewan itu sudah tua dan sumur itu juga perlu ditimbun(ditutup, karena berbahaya) jadi tidak berguna menolong si keledai. Dia melakukannya agar tidak ada yang terjatuh lagi di sumur yang sama.
si petani mengajak tetangga2nya untuk datang membantunya..
mereka membawa sekop dan mulai menyekop tanah kedalam sumur..
ketika si keledai menyadari apa yang sedang terjadi, ia menangis penuh kengerian..
tetapi kemudian semua orang takjub, karena si keledai menjadi diam.
setelah beberapa sekop tanah lagi dituangkan kedalam sumur, si petani melihat kedalam sumur dan tercengang karena apa yang dilihatnya..
walaupun punggungnya terus ditimpa tanah dan kotoran, si keledai melakukan sesuatu yang menakjubkan..
ia mengguncang-guncangkan badannya agar tanah yang menimpa punggungnya turun kebawah, lalu ia menaiki tanah itu,,
sementara si petani dan tetangga2nya terus menuangkan tanah kotor keatas punggung hewan itu, si keledai terus juga mengguncangkan badannya dan melangkah naik..
segera saja, semua orang terpesona ketika si keledai meloncati tepi sumur dan melarikan diri!

THINGS TO LEARN:
kehidupan itu terus saja menuangkan tanah dan kotoran kepadamu, segala macam tanah dan kotoran, cara keluar dari "sumur" (kesedihan, masalah, dll) adalah dengan mengguncangkan segala tanah dan kotoran dari diri kita (pikiran dan hari kita) dan melangkah naik dari "sumur" dengan menggunakan hal-hal tersebut sebahai pijakan..
setiap masalah-masalah kita merupakan satu batu pijakan untuk melangkah..
kita dapat keluar dari "sumur" yang terdalam dengan terus berjuang, jangan pernah menyerah!
ingatlah aturan sederhana tentang kebahagiaan:
1. bebaskan dirimu dari kebencian (orang yang hidup dengan benci tidak akan pernah bahagia)
2. bebaskanlah pikiranmu dari kecemasan
3. hiduplah sederhana
4. berilah lebih banyak
5. berharaplah lebih sedikit
6. tersenyumlah
7. miliki teman yang bisa membuatmu tersenyum
