[Gigs Report] YES NO WAVE OFFLINE

Bottlesmoker

-Yogyakarta

Saya datang tepat sebelum acara dimulai! jalan kaki dari stasiun tugu ke Kinoki!

Gig yang dibikin oleh yesnowave dan diatur oleh VJ Gentong, Sabtu 19 Juli 2008, dibuka dengan BOTTLESMOKER, duo electro pop asal bandung (ini alasan kedua kenapa saya dtg ke YK) mereka memainkan hampir semua track di SLOW MO SMILE, terutama track fave saya, Before Circus Over! suasana di kinoki jadi tambah menyenangkan!

Atraksi selanjutnya adalah alasan pertama saya ke YK, Jimmy “Seek Six Sick” Mahardika, dia make Apple, noise dengan sentuhan timur tengah (sebenernya ngak paham juga soundnya), dia main satu track dengan durasi kira-kira 20 menit. Sebenernya saya mengharapkan atraksi yang “aneh” dari Jimmy karena saya melewatkan gig Seek Sick Six di Surabaya beberapa tahun yang lalu.

Next adalah headliner, Lucas dari Sydney , seorang experimentalis (nah ni konsep juga belum saya pahami) dengan media kaca dan efek gitar, 3 efek dipasang pake sabuk di pinggangnya, jadi dia nggak usah jongkok ke bawah untuk explore efek. Lucas membuat sound dengan cara mengeluarkan udara dari bibir yang menempel di kaca, dia perform one take sekitar 20 menit, adegan klimaks adalah saat kaca pecah akibat tekanan bibir nya! Si Lucas itu nyeker…untuk kagak kesetrum, tapi berdarah kena pecahan kaca…kalah deh pemain kuda lumping hihihi

Penampilan terakhir diisi dengan Ruli dan Bhakti dari ZOO, Ruli pada vocal dan Bhakti make bass gesek sama mandolin! FYI, ZOO adalah band tanpa gitaris! Kerennya si Ruli itu mixing banyak bahasa terutama bahasa daerah (dia itu translator)! Mereka main 3 lagu dan 1 lagu tambahan akibat desakan crowd “we want more” hihihi…

Belum berakhir gig di kinoki, seperti biasanya DJ local beraksi!

*Suwun sing akeh buat Wok The Rock, Gentong, Angkuy, Juliuz, Idharrez, Agum, Ito, Bhakti, Moeklas, Agil

I came exactly before the show begun! Walking down from Tugu Station to Kinoki!

Gig that created by yesnowave and maintained by VJ Gentong, July 19th 2008, opened by Bottlesmoker,Slow Mo Smile, also my fave track, Before Circus Over! It's getting exciting there! electro pop duo from Bandung (this was my second reason to come to YK) they played almost entire tracks in

The next performance is my first reason to come to YK, Jimmy "Seek Six Sick" Mahardika, he use Apple, play noise with middle-east-like touch (i'm not really understand the sounds, though), he played one track with at least 20 minutes long. Actually i'm expecting "weird" performance from Jimmy, as i missed previous Seek Six Sick gig i Surabaya years ago.

Next, is a headliner. Lucas from Sydney, an experimentalist (i'm not really understand yet this concept, though) with mirror and guitar effect as medium. Three effects wore on his belt, so he doesn't have to go down to explore the sounds. Lucas make sound with blowing air from his lips that stick in the mirror, he performed that for 20 minutes one take. the climax is when the mirror broke because the pressure of his lips! Lucas didn't wear foot apparel to avoid electricity, but got bleeding because breaking a mirror with his lips.

The last performance is Ruli and Bhakti from Zoo, Ruli on vocal and Bhakti play cello and mandolin! Fyi, Zoo is a band without guitarist! The cool part is, Ruli mix many languages especially traditional languages because he is a translator! They set 3 songs and 1 encore because the crowd want it more hehehe...

Before end, as usual, local DJ set an action package. hehe...
