Rock Bersama Yogya

“JOGJA LOCAL HEROES” atau pahlawan lokal jogja, adalah suatu kata kiasan yang digunakan untuk membuat provokasi event, yang nantinya akan diselenggarakan di Ibukota DKI Jaya.

Dengan menggunakan konsep versus dengan band ibukota, band – band lokal jogja nantinya akan bertarung jarak dekat dengan band yang sudah di persiapkan di ibukota. Dengan maksud melakukan invansi band Jogja ke Jakarta event ini sebenarnya sudah lama direncanakan, tetapi dengan semua keterbatasan event ini baru bisa terselenggara pada 8 April nanti di the Colours Café Thamrin Jakarta pusat.

Materi dari acara ini adalah band – band rock yang mempunyai karakter yang kuat dengan eksistensi yang tiada henti, dan yang pasti dapat bertanggung jawab akan musik mereka. Band seperti Jhonny pestoel heroes, Southern beach terror, The Strawberries (yk) dan That’s Rockafeller, United by Haircut, Equipment junkie (jkt) adalah sebagian dari band rock yang masuk dalam kategori seperti itu.

Selain event ini, sebenarnya sudah dipersiapkan suatu kompilasi yang mengatas namakan pahlawan lokal jogja. Kompilasi ini bermaterikan delapan band rock Jogja ditambah dengan bonus dua band Jakarta. Delapan band Jogja itu adalah mereka – mereka yang belum mendapatkan kesempatan berangkat ke Jakarta di padukan dengan band yang akan main di Jakarta. materinya adalah Jenny, Dolphins yk, No it All, Coffin Cadillac, Death Hitler, The Strawberries, Southern beach terror, Jhonny pestoel heroes, That’s Rockafeller, United by haircut. Dan di harapkan dengan kompilasi ini dapat menembus seluruh media beracun di kota yang bersangkutan.

Biosampler (Indonesia)
The year 2000 was the early stage of collaborative meeting from a group of people with similar concern and interests. An intense gathering in a house that located in a dense suburban area in Bandung has emerging into a so-called ‘collective attitude’, which is regarded as an act of self-indulgement through a creative process. Each member of this collective often use computer technology, creating piles of works in some digitalized format of sounds, music, images, animations, films, etc. From personal activities, it then has expanded into a collective act to form artistic composition through the creating sensation of sounds, light, and space; which is done spontaneously and sometimes with diverse goal and objective. Some surprising results often happen from their freedom to act and create, as well as dialogues and intervention. What they did has been growing from a daily attitude into an art performance.

Tiarma Sirait (Indonesia)
Tiarma Sirait is a multilayered performance artist. Everything she touches turns into pink, just as Midas turned everything into gold. The power of transformation lies at the very heart of the notion of art. Tiarma is a transformer, not only of objects, or situations but also of hearts, since you can’t do anything else but love her. But if one looks underneath the pink facade, one discovers a history of exclusion and censorship that she once had to fight in her own country, a country that doesn’t allow its people to behave and dress as they please. Tiarma has found her way out of this mental prison, where many people are still dwelling, even in democratic societies. She is an example to follow.
