Tired Eyes

First try to cover this kind of psychadelic-rock-ish stuff so don't be hard on me ;)

Live In New York

Look at what you’ve done
You’ve taken away the light
Denied the rapture
How can’t you see that I did this all for you?

40 counts of sin
This trial begins
You think you can judge me?
I am the way
I am the fire
I am the light
Did this all for you
Did this all for you

For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind 
For all mankind

I stand accused, disapproved
Your hollow horror
I came in from the desert with the glory of the sun
Shackled to this chair
A witness to the coming darkness
Sanctimonious sentences, the circle now divides
Life, death
The dawning of the final verdict
Waiting for the moment for the 13 to decide
13 now decide
For all mankind

For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind

For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind

For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind
For all mankind


This travesty, this puppet show
The will is strong, the trumpet blows
Soon the cup will overflow
Only then will all men know
The seventh circle now divides
He demanded sacrifice
Once again, the dead will rise
For all mankind

The SIGIT - Black Summer

Indonesian quartet The SIGIT produce exhilarating garage-rock that has earned acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone Indonesia. The SIGIT was formed in the late ‘90s by four high school friends, who shared a mutual admiration for rock gods of the ‘70s. Discreetly in the classroom, the group would listen to their ‘70s influences, in addition to recent phenomenon like Brit-pop, shoegaze, and modern punk-rock. After class they would re-convene in the garage, where they emulated the variety of sounds and styles they heard that day. The SIGIT’s wide range of stylistic interests made it difficult initially to identify the music scene that would fit their inventive material. 

Formed in the late ‘90s, a time when artists like Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears were dominating airwaves, The SIGIT wondered how their rock-based tendencies and reverence for multiple styles would be received by audiences. To find out, they began to send out invitations to a weekly garage gig, which featured beer, barbeque, and The SIGIT’s engaging music. The audience’s reaction was extremely positive, and the four-piece realized they would not be forced to confine to radio conventions to gain listeners. Their authentic love for good old rock ‘n’ roll would be more than enough.

In response to the popular garage gigs, The SIGIT released their debut EP in late 2004. Esteemed publications and labels like FFWD Records came calling, providing The SIGIT opportunities to perform outside their garage. With high-energy and passionate performances, their profile began to rise rapidly through live shows, setting the stage for The SIGIT's 2007 full-length debut, Visible Idea of Perfection. The album received glowing reviews, especially from Australian publications like Faster Louder. This led to The SIGIT's first international gigs, when they toured Australia for Visible Idea of Perfection. By 2009, The SIGIT were performing at US festivals like SXSW. That June, they released a collection of ten diverse songs entitled Hertz Dyslexia, which included a DVD of live footage and music videos. To celebrate the release, The SIGIT held a solo concert in Bandung, which was attended by a sold-out audience of over 3500 fans. A national tour would follow, and The SIGIT’s international presence would increase significantly.

The SIGIT recently released their second full-length album, Detourn. The title is a pun on the word “detournement”, a variation on a previous media work where the newly created one has a meaning that is antagonist to the original. The band started writing Detourn in 2009, and finally took to the studio in late 2011. Recording and mixing ended in January, and Detourn was released on March 16th via FFWD Records. Detourn has already received significant acclaim. Rolling Stone Indonesia gave the album 4 out 5 stars, praising Detourn for its mixture of anthemic rockers and intricately precise orchestration. Seven years between full-lengths, it was clear that The SIGIT knew how to relieve the anticipation.
