The Drums live in Jakarta, May 25th 2011 Jacob Graham, Jonathan Pierce, Connor Hanwick and former member Adam Kessler. Once again, all live music lovers in Indonesia are very lucky. On Wednesday, May 25th 2011, indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York, called The Drums performed their first gig in Jakarta. The band with member Jonathan Pierce on vocal, Jacob Graham on guitar/synthesizer and Connor Hanwick on drum/guitar entertained their loyal fans at Blowfish, City Plaza, Jakarta with Ismaya Live as the promoter (same promoter with Suede’s gig last March). The show itself started on 9 pm sharp and gate opened one hour before it. I was quite excited to see The Drums’ performance in Jakarta. I admit that I am a new fan of them, but I enjoy their song so much. At first, I am interested in their music after I listened to Book of Stories . Somehow, that song reminds me of The Smiths’ song (I love this Manchester legend). Second, I heard the remix ver...
Here's the full-page-article from Tempo newspaper (Koran Tempo) on Monday, March 21st 2011, page A18. The article is in bahasa Indonesia. Article in English: Suede Shake Jakarta The British alternative rock band shake Jakarta. Unfortunately, the sound system was inadequate.

The four members of Suede – drummer Simon Gilbert, 45, bass player Mat Osman (43), keyboardist Neil Codling (37) and guitarist Richard Oakes (34) – took their positions. The screaming grew louder when Brett Anderson, 43, the vocalist of the British alternative rock band joined them and stood centre stage. Without further ado, Brett, dressed in black shirt and trousers, took the microphone and sang This Hollywood Life. Brett completed the song, taken from the album Dog Man Star (1994), perfectly. Without pause, Brett performed the numbers She, Tr...
The People's Party Jakarta 2012 Thank God It's Friday! wasn't just an ordinary phrase for all Bombay Bicycle Club's fans in Jakarta last Friday, January 13. We were really grateful for this day because the wonderful Bombay Bicycle Club was going to perform tonight at Fairgrounds (ex Bengkel Night Park). They were coming to Indonesia on the event called The People's Party, promoted by Shoundshine. Bombay Bicycle Club was not the only band that performed that night. We also have The Jezabels (Australia), The Naked and Famous (New Zealand) and Metronomy (UK). Not to mention the opening act by local band called Roman Foot Soldiers. But on this blog, I will concentrate on writing about Bombay Bicycle Club's performance since they are my favourite and they are the reason I came to this event. :) The People's Party started at 7 pm sharp and Roman Foot Soldiers opened this event smoothly. This was the first time I heard their songs and I think they're good. The ...
