Mungkin itu sebabnya para band-band indie terhitung jarang menyambangi Jember. Terhitung hanya The Hydrant yang pernah mampir ke Jember, itu pun sebagai opening act dari Saint Loco dan Edane. Lain The Hydrant? Jangan harap menemukan nama seperti The S.I.G.I.T, Inspirational Joni atau Jack And The Four Men di Jember. Band-band yang main di Jember adalah band-band “perahan” major label macem Nidji, Kangen Band dan terakhir ada Juliette dan Lobow yang dibawa oleh salah satu operator telepon seluler terbesar di Indonesia. Jadi mungkin band-band indie yang masih berjuang dengan semboyan DIY akan berpikir dua kali untuk menyambangi kota kecil di ujung Jawa Timur yang bernama Jember.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> ... http://thebrandals.multiply.com/journal/item/33/The_Brandals_gig_review_Jember_from_one_of_the_audiences_view Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:54:36 -0000 <h2 class="date-header"><font size="2">An entertaining story on how The Brandals music inspiring a student on his final thesis.

Or should we put it ‘teenage noir’. ‘Brick’ operates in the same structure with most 50s detective noir movie genre : slick, fast-paced script lines, doomed and dark characters, unexpected interwoven plot, and tragically dead blonde as the victim. So, what’s new? Well, here’s the twist: It sets in the modern contemporary deep suburb of So.Cal Americana. If you think this is gona be another fucking Hillary Duff/ Lindsay Lohan type, please stop here. Instead of occupying suave Humprey Bogart style actor, young debutant director Rian Johnson put Joseph Gordon Levitt on the screen as ‘Brendan Fraser’, a high-school loner misfit who discovered her dead ex-gir... http://thebrandals.multiply.com/reviews/item/2 Wed, 1 Aug 2007 09:34:31 -0000 1.

After spent almost 2 month of summer break in Jakarta, I went back for my last semester. I arrived on the morning of February 17th 2001, the day of Sydney’s annual Mardi Grass celebration. It’s the ultimate gay celebration of freedom and love equality, regardless of the sexes. By the time I hit city centre from the airport, I can smell the air of love jubilee, vaporizing the whole city landscape. As far as I can see was colorful glitters and shinny muscle of half naked men and women getting pumped up for the all-night long party and quite-possible mass love orgy (well, as far as Oxford St anyway-the ultimate gay spot in Sydney).<br><br>Sophie Chadwick, a girlfriend of my College of Fine Art (COFA) colleague William Litchfield, picked me up from the airport. William took Time Based Art major (Video-installation). I took painting. Anyway, Sophie took me to their humble household down at Glebe. There were more people in the house, all putting up their wa... http://thebrandals.multiply.com/journal/item/28/Love_according_to....fill_the_blank Mon, 2 Jul 2007 06:12:10 -0000 Articles on The Brandals tour to Kuala Lumpur last March on Junk Magazine (local KL Music Mag).

Originated from the burgeoning mid 70s CBGB NY punk scene, these duo created their debut album in 1977 that become the landmark for electronic-based, sonic-experimental music that is much characterized the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Soft Cell, Einsturzende Neubauten, Skinny Puppy, The Gories, Primal Scream, Nine Inch Nails, etc. Call it electroclash, industrial, synth-pop, dark disco, whatever….without Suicide (with Kraftwerk as other influential core), these terms would meant fuck-all, had Vega and Rev didn’t laid the blue print for what would become the bastard child of rock n roll and electronic music. Rev minimalist, repetitive and hypnotic keyboard riff provided a haunted and hollow landscape for Vega distorted, jittery and threatening vocal (owed much to 50s rockabilly singer). Once you hear their sonic terror soundscape, you’ll... http://thebrandals.multiply.com/music/item/21/Suicide_1st_album_Red_Star_record_1977_Mute_record_2000 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 04:37:02 -0000 Wacky snapshots..this is the tour represented by our amateurish photographer on the road Ade, Fanny and Faesal and various other drunken fingers (including ili, which fortunately didn’t consume any alcohol and provided us with steady shots.

Setelah dijemput van, kami diantar ke apartemen unit yang terletak dalam komplek pertokoan Lucky Plaza di pusat perbelanjaan Orchard road. Begitu sampai dan mendapat kamar masing-masing, seluruh crew dan personil yang berjulah 10 orang langsung ‘tewas’ tertidur hingga jam 2 siang. Begitu bangun, kami langsung bersiap untuk melakukan jadwal pertama dalam agenda : shopping! Setelah berkeliling Orchard dan naik MRT ke daerah City Hall, kami langsung menuju venue untuk soundcheck pukul 5 sore.<br><br>Lokasi venue terletak dalam areal kompleks bangunan pemerintahan di Old Parliament Road. Di sebuah gedung pertunjukan tua bernama The Art House yang biasa menampilkan pertunjukan musik orkestra, event kultural dan pemutaran film avant garde. Tentu saja kemungkinan The Brandals tampil dalam The Art House sangat kecil. Instead, kita ditempatkan di Earshot (terletak dalam komplek Art House), seb... http://thebrandals.multiply.com/journal/item/27/The_Brandals_Malaysia_Singapore_Tour_07_Part_III_ Tue, 20 Mar 2007 06:54:33 -0000 Gigger Centre Stage @ Paul’s Place Jalan Klang Lama KL Opening : Soulsta/ The Rebellions/ Insecure/ The Official/ The Aggrobeats Selesai menyantap makan malam sekitar jam 9 bersama teman-teman dari Gasoline Granades, kami menuju venue ke-2 Paul’s Place. Lokasi nya mirip seperti barisan pertokoan di Mayestik Jakarta Selatan yang sudah agak sepi. Begitu memasuki pelataran parkir, kami kembali dikejutkan dengan pemandangan puluhan punkers memenuhi areal venue. Ternyata mereka baru saja selesai menonton gig Distrust, sebuah band crusty punk dari Singapur. Kami berkenalan dengan beberapa anak punk tadi yang sepertinya meng-observasi The Brandals dengan penampilan Mods-nya. Beberapa dari mereka membeli CD dan T-shirt walaupun belum pernah mendengar nama kami sama sekali. That was pretty cool. Memasuki venue, kami menaiki anak tangga sejauh 3 lantai dan mencapai lantai teratas sebagai arena pertunjukan. Ruangan sebesar lapangan badminton tertutup ini tampak impresif sebagai venue ‘... http://thebrandals.multiply.com/journal/item/26/The_Brandals_Malaysia_Singapore_Tour_07_Part_II_ Tue, 20 Mar 2007 06:50:19 -0000 Les Fauves du Jakarta<br>The Brandals Singapore & Kuala Lumpur Tour 2007<br>2 – 6 Maret 2007<br><br>Persiapan selama hampir 6 bulan untuk tur pertama The Brandals ke luar negri tanpa terasa terus mendekat.

Do you think it has particular relevance in the context of Jakarta, where this a strong clash between mainstream culture (consumerism, malls, obsession with foreign brands/products) and those who are shut out (ie, too poor) to partake in this mainstream culture? The term indie means- quite simply- being independent. In music industry, it refers to its component that doesn’t have any significant connection/ support (financial/sponsorship/promotion) to/from the big corporate players.
