Banda Neira adalah proyek iseng bertanggung jawab yang menjunjung tinggi spirit amateurisme. Bubar sejak Desember 2016.
Kontak: di.banda.neira@gmail.com

Pesan rilisan fisik album pertama 'Berjalan Lebih Jauh' dan album kedua 'Yang Patah Tumbuh, yang Hilang Berganti' ke sorgerecords@gmail.com.

Dulu ketika tinggal di Jakarta Rara Sekar  adalah aktivis Hak Azasi Manusia di LSM Kontras. Kini ia hijrah ke Bali dan jadi pegiat sosial di organisasi non profit Kopernik. Kerjaanya, membagikan teknologi tepat guna untuk memberdayakan masyarakat di berbagai tempat. Sementara Ananda Badudu, dulu, kini, dan nanti adalah wartawan harian di Tempo. Kerjaanya, setiap hari keliling Jakarta mencari berita.

Siapapun tahu hidup di Jakarta akan terasa penat jika tak diselingi kegiatan-kegiatan menghibur diri. Oleh karena itu keduanya sepakat membentuk band. Formatnya sederhana saja, dua orang dan satu gitar. Kadang ada xylophone mainan nyempil. Atau impersonisasi terompet berhubung tak punya alat sesungguhnya. Meski formatnya dua orang, mereka menolak disebut duo, inginnya disebut band. Tak tahu pasti apa maksudnya.

Sejak terbentuk pada akhir Februari lalu, Banda Neira baru dua kali manggung dan sekali mengecap studio, yakni pada saat rekaman saja. Tapi latihan lumayan sering. Karena format sederhana, latihan pun bisa di mana saja. Bisa di atap kos-kosan, di ruang fitnes kedap suara, di warung sepi pengunjung, hingga rerumputan taman kota.

Tak disangka proyek iseng berlanjut terus. Pada suatu hari, sebelum Rara Sekar hijrah ke Bali, keduanya nekat menyewa studio Aru untuk merekam empat lagu yang mereka punya. Jadilah album EP (Extended Play) yang di kemudian hari dinamakan “Di Paruh Waktu”. Karena lirik lagu Banda Neira kebanyakan nelangsa, maka disebutlah genrenya nelangsa pop.

Kini Rara Sekar tinggal di Ubud, Bali, dan Ananda Badudu masih di Mampang Prapatan, Jakarta. Tapi katanya Banda Neira tidak vakum alias tetap jalan. Nanti mungkin ada lagu-lagu lain, yang kalau sudah PD akan ditaruh juga di soundcloud. Hehehe. Sekian ceritanya dan terimakasih telah berkunjung ke soundcloud kami.

Salam, Banda Neira

*NP: Banda Neira adalah nama pulau yang berada di Maluku, bagian Timur Indonesia. Pada masa perjuangan kemerdekaan, beberapa pejuang dan bapak penemu bangsa sempat dibuang oleh Belanda ke sana. Di antaranya Sjahrir dan Hatta. Banyak cerita menarik yang ditulis Sjahrir tentang Banda Neira. Dari catatan hariannya orang bisa tahu ia tak merasa seperti orang buangan ketika diasingkan ke sana. Barangkali karena pulaunya luar biasa indah dan masyarakatnya menarik. Sementara Hatta sibuk baca buku, Sjahrir asik bermain dan mengajar anak-anak setempat. ”Di sini benar-benar sebuah firdaus”, tulisnya di awal Juni 1936. Dari pulau dan cerita inilah kira-kira nama band ini diambil.

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.
