Interview with Bangkutaman

They are a band of three that plays 60s-revival kind of music. On their attractive show performances, the usually-drunk vocalist/frontman, Acum, resembles those daily-smoking-pots hippies, but he wore Batik instead of the typical flowery-pattern clothes.

With a piece of paper and a pen, we tried our best to get Acum answers these questions, because apparently, under the local alcohol drink of lapen, he could only answer in English.

Which one of your songs would be a good representation of the band?
She Burns The Disco ? Titik Balik
