In medio 2006, a band was formed by four musicians to accompany the vocalist—Bonita—in  her live performances. Through the course of time, the band shrink into three members (Bonita, Adoy, and Bharata), but the musical and interpersonal bond between them grew more intense. Later the band decided to play not only Bonita’s songs but also do cover songs and their own composition as well. They decided to named the band as bonita and the hus BAND (BNTHB).
 
This three-member-band first international stage happened on April 2009 on Outdoor Theater, Esplanade, Singapore. They were invited to play on an event called “On the Waterfront.” BNTHB’s first performance in Singapore receives a very warm response from the Singapore audience. Their CD titled “volume-1 BNTHB” was sold out during their three days performance.
 
On May 2009, Jimmy Tobing joined BNTHB. His presence made BNTHB became more solid. With diverse musical experience between them, each member of BNTHB enriched their musical skills by working together in BNTHB. Bonita with her soulful singing skill and her total singing expression; Adoy with his tight and percussive style rhythm guitar; Bharata with his solid and singing-like percussion style; Jimmy with his eclectic style in playing the saxophone made this acoustic quartet sounds “total, powerful, merry, and fun” in their live performances. BNTHB conveys a thick acoustic, soul, folk and R&B mood in their music every time they step on stage.
 
Through out the years BNTHB receives positive response by the audience. The band also got offered to performed in culture and art events, corporate events, and other entertainment events.
On March 2010, BNTHB performed in Mosaic Music Festival 2010, an international music festival held in Esplanade, Singapore. At the end of 2010, BNTHB performed in Bonita solo concert titled “Terimakasih” in Salihara Theater, and on February 2012, BNTHB held their own concert titled “small miracles” in Grha Bakti Budaya, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta. The concert drew a lot attention and received a very warm response from the audience.  The concert was covered by a lot of media and received good reviews.
 
At the present time, BNTHB is in the process of finishing up their first album titled “small miracles” due to be released early 2014.

Float is an Indonesian band led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Hotma "Meng" Roni Simamora. The revolving lineup has influenced the band’s musical style that has grown from a mix of pop, rock, blues, and jazz. Supporting Meng with each of their role, Timur Segara (drums), David Qlintang (guitar), and Binsar Tobing (bass) make the latest Float’s four-piece formation.


Payung Teduh was created by two close friends that used most of their time in playing music at the canteen of FIB as well as providing background music for the Pagupon Theater of Indonesia University. These two close friends, Is and Comi, played their music anywhere from the canteen of FIB UI, hangout places inside the campus complex, to the lake side near UI’s Center Administration Building. Their togetherness in playing music has been supported by friends around them which then lead to the creation of a duo that eventually became the next big thing at UI.      

 

Payung Teduh was then born in late 2007 with their first formation, Is on vocal & guitar, and Comi on Double Bass. After playing duo for some time, it was necessary for them to improve their exploration in their music as well as improving their stage performance. In doing this, they recruited Cito as a drummer and Ivan as a guitalele player in 2010. Angin Pujaan Hujan was the first song that eventually known as the signature composition of Payung Teduh’s style of music. As time went by, they wrote new songs such as Kucari Kamu, Amy, Untuk Perempuan Yang Sedang Dalam Pelukan.  They also played songs written by a colleague/mentor Catur Ari Wibowo who is also a director of Pagupon Theater that wrote songs such as Resah, Cerita Tentang Gunung dan Laut. Amalia Putri, a good friend of them, also wrote songs like Malam and Tidurlah that were then added into their album. Payung Teduh then recorded these songs and released their first indie album in late 2010.  

 

In this first album, it can be said that the musical characteristic of Payung Teduh is like the music in the 60’s with a blend of keroncong and jazz music. Whenever they were asked what kind of musical genre that Payung Teduh played, it was up to the listeners to define what kind of genre that they played, in a sense that they won’t stop playing music in just one genre, but in many other genres while still maintaining the strong characteristic that they already have.
