Efek Rumah Kaca

I went to Java Rockin Land last Saturday night. it was a three days rock festival, but i only came on the second day, to see Mr.Big. well im actually not much of a fan, but my mom forced me to come, to accompany my brother. Also, my boyfriend wants to see them, so i went anyway.
The event was massive, super crowded, it took us 2 hour to got into the venue, from inside Ancol (normally only like 10 minutes). That made me missed Immortal Legends' performance (an all girl band -tribute to rock legends), and i only got to see one song from Tika, one song from Secondhand Serenade, 2 songs from Pure Saturday, the whole performance of Mr.Big, and 2 songs from Efek Rumah Kaca.

We saw Efek Rumah Kaca right after Mr.Big. At that time, me and boyfriend were separated from our friends, and were waiting for my brother to meet us there. Tired after jumping and singing out loud to Mr.Big, we sat in the dome, he was nearly asleep, while i was religiously listening to their performance. They were playing "Sebelah Mata" when we came.
Suddenly and old memory flashes in my mind. I knew Efek Rumah Kaca on 2007, during the darkest time of my life. My father just died on the 3rd month, and i had an ugly break up on the 9th month. If i'm not mistaken, their first album was released on the 10/11th month. so there. a perfect companion to my dark hours.

So there i was, on a beautiful saturday with the boyfriend, listening to what used to my crying companion. but it felt different at that time, seeing their performance made me learn one new thing... that life goes on.
anyway, their performance were as good as i remembered it. Kudos to Efek Rumah Kaca, my favorite Indonesian Indie band of all time! :)
