Recap: Lantai Merah Tour, ICEMA Nominations, and New Surprises!

How how are you guys? We know we haven't update this thing for quite some time, pardon our chronic laziness.

Many things had happened in the Sinjitos camp during our days of blog-posting absence that are hopefully worth your time, if you haven't read it on our Facebook and Twitter (twitter.com/sinjitos) pages. First, we did some shows with Monkey to Millionaire, Santamonica, and The Porno in Solo, Yogyakarta, and Bogor for "Lantai Merah" tour awhile ago. It was a great success, other than the ransacking thugs in Yogya show that forced us to stop the gig before Monkey to Millionaire can play. Don't worry, Yogyakarta. We will be back! The Bogor show also featured some upcoming artists that could be in our roster soon: former Pasto member Bayu Risa, longtime noise-rockers Denial, and fresh psychedelic rock n' roll machine The Black Mustangs. You will hear more about them very, very soon. Other than them, we still a couple more surprises in our back pockets, so stay tune.

Other news is Santamonica's "Bobsessed" and Monkey to Millionaire's "Strange Is The Song In Our Conversation" are nominated in Indonesian Cutting Edge Music Awards (ICEMA) 2010 in the Favorite Alternative Song Category. Regardless what you think about such awards, just have some fun and vote for them on: http://icema.co.id/main-voting-nominator.php . We are not hoping much other than scoring some free foods on the actual award show but grabbing something home would be cool, plus it will give us and the bands a reason to post something on our Facebook pages.

Don't forget to check our merchandise blog: sinjitosmerch.blogspot.com for CDs and merchandises, including Monkey to Millionaire's Strange Is The Song In Our Conversation EP + T-shirt package that now can be ordered from anywhere! Speaking of merchandise, Monkey to Millionaire just released an extremely-limited t-shirt that can be ordered here.

We also received questions about Gugun And The Bluesbug "Turn It On" that apparently re-released by another label, we can safely say that it is released illegally without our permission. That also explains the missing detail on the album credits and non-existed band photos. We'll definitely do something about it. The actual CD is still available in stores and can be ordered online (check sinjitosmerch.blogspot.com for more info).
