The S.i.g.i.t

SEJARAH THE S.I.G.I.T

MuDA bisa menemui personel The Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent (The S.I.G.I.T) saat mereka datang ke studio Prambors. Personel band ini jauh dari kesan jaim ab. Mereka sederhana, asyik aja dengan sekililingnya, dan sudah pasti tak sombong.

Tapiii, segudang prestasi sebagai band indie mereka kantongi. Kompas MuDA pernah mengulas, band ini telah membuka mata band-band indie lain untuk kreatif dalam pemasaran, terutama di dunia maya.

Lagu-lagu mereka seperti The Party Live Recording, Let It Go, Clove Doper, Black Amplifier, Satan State bisa dinikmati gratis via MySpace.

Lewat dunia maya, lagu-lagu yang dimainkan grup ini mencuri perhatian banyak orang secara global. Salah satunya pemilik label di Australia. Maka, sejarah The S.I.G.I.T pun berubah ketika mereka diundang ke Australia untuk tur selama sekitar sebulan pada 2007.

Personel The S.I.G.I.T berasal dari kalangan terpelajar. R Farri Icksan Wibisana (25, gitar), lulusan S-1 Arsitektur Universitas Parahyangan (Unpar) dan kini S-2 Arsitektur Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). Donar Armando Ekan (25) pada drum, lulusan S-1 Arsitektur Unpar yang kini menjadi konsultan desain rumah spa.

Rekti Vianto Yoewono (26) sebagai vokalis dan gitaris adalah lulusan S-1 Meteorologi ITB yang masih kuliah S-2 Teknik Lingkungan ITB. Aditya Bagja Mulyana (26) pada bas, lulusan D-3 Information Technology dari Maranatha Bandung. Dengan kapasitas pendidikan seperti itu, tak heran kalau musik mereka berbeda.

“Publik Australia menganggap musik kami beda dengan musik-musik yang dimainkan band-band Australia. Makanya, kami diundang ke sana,” kata Rekti.

Awal berdiri

Grup ini terbentuk semasa mereka masih SMA. Tahun 1997 mereka membentuk band. “Dulu, musiknya lebih ke brit-rock, kami membawakan lagu-lagu band Inggris,” kata Rekti.

Nama The S.I.G.I.T baru terbentuk tahun 2002. Mengapa namanya begitu panjang? “Waktu itu kami lihat band-band luar (negeri) yang namanya panjang-panjang pasti enggak akan ada yang nyamain. The S.I.G.I.T itu tak ada artinya, cuma kedengaran unik saja,” kata Farri.

Band ini memulai karier dengan sering tampil pada acara kampus. Setelah membuat demo EP berisi enam lagu pada 2004, The S.I.G.I.T mulai punya penggemar setia.

Tahun 2005, mengikuti tren anak muda yang kecanduan browsing internet, mereka iseng bikin profil band di MySpace. Mereka juga mendaftar di Friendster tapi tak begitu dikelola. Rektilah yang sering nongkrongin ..MySpace-nya.

Pada 2005 pula mereka mulai mendapat penikmat lagu-lagu mereka yang berlirik bahasa Inggris. Salah satunya dari Australia, dan orang itu memiliki label rekaman Caveman. Dari komunikasi dengan orang Australia ini, akhirnya keluarlah album The S.I.G.I.T versi Australia.

Album bertitel Visible Idea of Perfection-Australian Release dikeluarkan pada Juni 2007 di bawah bendera label FFCUTS & Caveman!/Reverberation. Album ini dijual di amazon.com, iTunes dan The S.I.G.I.T, online store yang ada di http://thesigit.bigcartel.com/. Di Amazon, album ini dibandrol 37,49 dollar AS.

Di Indonesia, album mereka ditangani FFWD. “Saya tak tahu pasti berapa album yang terjual, tapi kemungkinan lebih dari 15.000 CD dan kaset. Sekarang kami kontrak untuk album kedua,” kata Adit.

Mereka tak membatasi genre musik yang harus dimainkan. “Setiap personel punya acuan musik sendiri, jadi tak bisa memilih satu genre saja. Di sini ada rock, metal, progresif, rock n roll, tapi pada dasarnya kami memang rock,” kata Farri.

Jakarta - Nama The S.I.G.I.T mungkin sudah tak asing di telinga. Mereka memang jarang nongol di TV. Bukannya tak mau, band asal Bandung itu memang nggak maksa eksis di layar kaca.

Jalur indie dipilih Rekti (vokal), Farri (gitar), Acil (drum) dan Adit (bass) untuk merilis album 'Visible Idea of Perfection' tahun 2006 yang kemudian rilis di Australia setahun setelahnya. Berbagai ajang promo dilakukan The S.I.G.I.T kecuali berusaha nongol di TV.

"Kita nggak ngejar masuk TV. Walaupun nggak masuk TV kita masih bisa eksis dengan cara lain," ujar Rekti kepada detikhot ditemui di Bandung beberapa waktu lalu.

Beberapa band indie kerap masuk TV mengisi acara musik, namun The S.I.G.I.T tidak demikian. Mungkin aliran musik yan sedikit kencang membuatnya jarang eksis di layar kaca. Tidakkah The S.I.G.I.T ingin seperti band-band populer Indonesia lain?

"Beda sih, kita nggak kayak mereka. Itu rezekinya, kita punya gol lain yang lebih puas daripada masuk TV sering-sering," jelas Rekti.

Sedikit tentang The S.I.G.I.T, band ini terbentuk tahun 1997 saat para personelnya masih SMU. Nama Sigit diambil dari salah satu nama orang tua sang personel, mereka kemudian mengubahnya menjadi sebuah singkatan dari The Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent.

I wanna live forever

Don’t you realise

Forever means together

When you said it wasn’t over

For the third times

Something more and more

I would hold ‘em tight

Never feel a weight

In the way you complaining

For you I’ve given the will

Fate that never hestitating

Babe, it’s going to be alright

Never easy to see

Personality is folded

And none simple as binary

Let’s hope that time is on our side

Let’s through it all

Dried by your pride

You got to look in to my eyes

And see me cry

ClOVE DOPER

There’s a man plead a friendly plea

Who drinks coffee rather than tea

I’ve been listening to his prophecy

(and I don’t need another)

He smokes super fine clove cigarette

There’s a man fight for demand

Where I could never win a game

My fist’s to protect

My hug’s to attack

How could you tell me whose to blame

World is full of amateur

They’re acting like a pro

If I could talk like a holyman

Can I be a canonist too?

HORSE

My baby is a horse

She’s running out of course

Papa was the first to taste

Her meat was what she has

Learning by time and doing

Now she’s humming na na na

Once I’ve tried to stop her, said

“Are you trying to get killed

By standing on the street side?”

My baby is a horse

She’s running out of course

Smoking grass with the guest

One that squeezing her chest

Learning by time and doing

Now she’s humming na na na

Once I’ve tried to stop her, said

“Are you trying to get killed

By standing on the street side?”

LET IT GO

His mouth’s whole lot of dirty words

The church sings out of mighty chords

Rather speak none clue

Than make a world a zoo

He drank whole lot of lot of booze

Nerve strips on the marbles blues

In a poor old Reagan views

I’m fighting while I’m confused

Just say no

Let it go

Say no just let it go

He lost whole lot of honesty

Mosque spread new prophecy

In a poor old Reagan views

I’m fighting while I’m confused

He drank whole lot of lot of booze

Nerve strips on the marbles blues

In a poor old Reagan views

I’m fighting while I’m confused

Live In New York

You got me lying on the ground

But if you find me

Don’t mess me ‘round

You get girls, left and right

You gonna sleep all day

And drink all night

I’ll get my cash

Get my career

You want my money

Don’t get near dear

Bite your fingers

No I don’t care

This is my sweet revenge

Or maybe we could go for a ride

You got me tired

‘till the sun go down

If I could live in

If only I could live in

Got me talking on the radio

‘cos people going back

To rock ‘n roll

Look at me and my big scar

Now don’t you miss me

I’m missing somehow

I’ll get my cash

Get my career

You want my money

Don’t get near dear

Bite your fingers

No I don’t care

This is my sweet revenge

Or maybe we could

Get more higher

You got my head

Spinning round and around

NEW GENERATION

We are the noodle generation

Our foods are made of preservation

We don’t need your education

Things not set in proportion

Look around in our perspective

Don’t you acting to naïve

You know it’s all tentative

You know dog foods are expensive

We are the starving brain

We are the naked in the rain

This is no heaven sends

The new generation end

We are the hooker generation

We don’t need your education

I only count my intuition

Things are going malfunction

Look around in our perspective

Don’t you acting to naïve

You know it’s all tentative

You know dog foods are expensive

We are the starving brain

We are the naked in the rain

This is no heaven sends

The new generation end

NO HOOK

I gave evil my heart

And escaped to the dark

I’m weak in so many ways

I’ve worked so hard

To get the band to the chart

But I’ll die anyway

If I could choose

I’d be there drinking brews

Tired of getting loose

If I could feel the noise

I’d rather play with the toys

And there would be no choice

Forgive me my heart

I’ve escaped to the dark

So weak in so many ways

I’ve worked so hard

To get this not to apart

But I’m tired today

If only I took

The truth in the Book

There would be no hook

If I could feel the noise

I’d rather play with the toys

And there would be no choice

NOWHERE END

I hope

We could be alright again

Smoke and laugh

At my cigarette brand

I hope

We could drive nowhere end

Listen to yours and my favourite band

I don’t have to tell you

What I’m feeling

Don’t need to know

For whom your feeling is

I just really want to see

Your face again

And those smiles I’ve seen

When you were crying

And when we drink together

I would hold my thirst

I would hold my lust to get higher

And when we drink together

I would hold my thirst

So I could drive you home first

Satan state

You fade in lie
Can’t even fix your tie
Sexy machine on the glue
Take a posy pose with the cruel

You’ve got to look into my eyes i gave truth to your eyes
I’ve got devil inside my green brown eyes

Dried by your pride
Keep burn my heart inside
You’re beautiful as a whore
You stand on me as a foe

I’ve got devil in my eyes something that you wanna hide
You’ve got to look into my eyes to see me cry

SAVE ME

Save me now, come on

Everybody got to go

Help me get me out of this

My head is kind of going to blow

Give me medicine or cure

Or placebo going to work it all

I really loved the disco

You fell in love with rock n’ roll?

Save me now, come on

Everybody got to go

Help me get me out of this

My head is kind of going to blow

Give me medicine or cure

Or placebo going to work it all

I really hate the disco

Give me some rock n’ roll

SOUL SISTER

Chilling in the street

Around her midnight chase

With her high heel shoe

And her pale bold make up face

Working late, making money, have some fun

She’s like a walking time bomb blues

In this sin city

Dunno what to do

When she’s sitting there alone with you

Dunno what she is

Is she HE or is she SHE

Feeling lonely playing hard

With hero own gun

She could run from the pigs barrier

Yet still around

Fell in love in your white BMW

I know you like her too

But do you know she’s so untrue

Dunno what to do

Cos she’s really in love with you

Dunno what to do

Hide her big bullock from you?

Bhang

Could you give me some action?

I’ll give you reaction

I saved you bit of money

But you can’t give me any

Could you give me some action? (Talking is easy)

I’ll give you reaction (You’re going to be crazy)

I saved you bit of money (You cash it on an on)

But you can’t give me any (Why should I hold on)

Could you make me a doctor? (Bribing make easy)

I’ll give you sedation (You’re going to be lazy)

I saved you bit of money (You cash it on an on)

But you don’t care of your body (How could you live on?)

I could buy you a paper (Where things are hazy)

A news about slaughter (The worlds gone crazy)

People fake story (Raise the price up)

They’ll never feel the glory (We shouldn’t give up)

Only Love Can Break Your Heart

When you were young and on your own

How did it feel to be alone

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

Trying to make the best of my time

But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

What if your world should fall apart

I have a friend I’ve never seen

He hide his head behind a screen

Someone should call him and see if he can come out

Try to loose the down that he’s found

But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

What if your world should fall apart

I have a friend i’ve never seen

He hide his head behind a screen

Yes only love can break your heart

The Party

Too little money

Too proudy party

Too screwed to proof there’s nothing to worry

Much had been mention

To get attention

The more I tell the truth the more I get the tention

Too little money

Too proudy country

Too fucked to move, die in a hurry

I’ve done to many

Not earn a penny

The more I seek the truth, the more I lose my pension

Verge of Puberty

Can’t take it easy, I’m out of control

I am young and full of disease

I speak sweets, that’s all natural

Just take on the girls they’re easy to please

Girl A :

Come take it baby, I really don’t mind now take control

Girl B :

Come take it baby, it is my first time and it’s all for yours

Girl C :

Come take it baby, I’m out of control

All we need is to follow our lust

Don’t think my honey it’s all natural

Just take on the cause and get on top of me
