Fight Night and Fever to Tell

Here's one brand new band people should watch: Fever To Tell. Formed in early 2010 in Jakarta the group with unique formation, four women one men, has received praise for their dynamic live performance. Mixing Riot Grrrl 90's rock—think Bikini Kill—and add 80's new wave to its element, their first single "Fight Night" gained huge attention from the indie scene and music journalists. Trax FM and OZ Radio Jakarta have played it quite intensively. It's also used as the main theme song for a short movie, Peron, which is in Belkibolang's compilation. Not to mention one cool radio program, Substereo in OZ Radio Jakarta, named them as "The Chosen One". As new kids on the block, they have been invited to some prestigious live gigs in the capital city of Indonesia such as JavaRockin'Land, Terusik Traxkustik and The Music Network Festival. Fever To Tell is now compiling material to be included in their first E.P. The band is planning to start recording in January 2012.

Di antara sebegitu berlimpah grup musik muda berbakat di seantero Jakarta, terdapat sebuah nama yang patut diperhitungkan, banyak diramalkan cepat atau lambat bakal meraih tempat terhormat di skena indie ibukota bahkan Nusantara: Fever To Tell.

Kelompok asal Jakarta yang baru dibentuk pada fajar 2010 ini pun menggunakan formula unik dalam penetapan personel yaitu 4 wanita dan 1 pria. Formasi macam demikian sungguh jarang ada di blantika musik Indonesia.

Band beranggotakan Dyana Savina Hutadjulu pada vokal, Muhammad Asranur mengurusi keyboard, Dinda Amanda di gitar, Yuyi Trirachma menjaga departemen bas dan vokal latar, serta Intan Indriastari sebagai penggebuk drum, pertama kali menggaet atensi publik lewat single pertama mereka, “Fight Night”. Pun beberapa radio di Jakarta seperti Trax FM dan Oz Radio saling berlomba menggebernya di udara—malah pada Oktober 2010 kuintet ini digelari “The Chosen One” oleh salah satu program keren di Oz Radio, Substereo. Pula sinema pendek Peron yang merupakan bagian dari film Belkibolang menggunakan “Fight Night” sebagai tembang utamanya.

Sebagai koalisi musisi yang tergolong masih bau kencur, grup yang mencampur pergerakan rock 90an Riot Grrrl—utamanya Bikini Kill—serta new wave 80an dalam adonan musiknya ini relatif ultra laris diminta tampil di konser-konser bergengsi. JavaRockin’Land, The Music Network Festival dan Terusik Traxkustik adalah tiga acara adiluhung yang sempat dijajal oleh mereka.

Paling mutakhir, Fever To Tell kini sedang jengah berbenah memilih lagu-lagu untuk mulai direkam pada Januari 2012. Ikuti terus perkembangannya dengan mengunjungi situs mereka di www.fevertotellband.blogspot.com.
