I should've mentioned them earlier. this is a NY Hardcore band formed in 1989 as Solid State but later changed their name into snapcase in 1991. disbanded in 2005 and just reunited this year. i have their original cd and cassette and i'm so excited for their reunion OMG. their lead vocals, Daryl Taberski has a unique voice that blended with the music.

Skeptic

when you're standing near, Tokyo Police Club.

i just saw Tokyo Police Club live hours ago, and they're fucking amazing. big venue, small crowds, canadian band. perfect.here's the setlist (minus encore. the encores are "Juno" and "Cheer It On"). you might noticed that there's a handwritten text "Jonas" between "Tessellate" and "Hands Reversed". yep, it's a weezer cover "My Name Is Jonas" performed with rekti from the s.i.g.i.t. and abdee from slank on guitar. noice.

Ghaust

another video taken and edited by me, Ghaust, a dynamic post-metal duo from Jakarta, playing one of their instrumental songs "Sleep And Release" live at rossi fatmawati. the live version is kinda different with the one you usually heard on their cd. this one has blastbeats followed by a pretty cool reverb loop ambience at the end of the song. lol.
