“Inspired by graffiti bombing, we came up with the idea of doing illegal gigs in the street by stealing public electricity and bringing our own small amps. We called this ‘noise bombing’. It basically involves playing impromptu sets in the street, just like how graffiti bombers do their work, until we are stopped by security guards or some local tough guys. This concept is part-Occupy, part punk and part of DIY synth culture.” (Jogja Noise Bombing) - Screaming feed-batik: how Yogyakarta became a capital of noise music A new documentary looks at the rise of noisemakers in the Indonesian city, #noise

Jogja, like other cities in Indonesia, has things that people like and don't like. Jogja is known for its many eccentric artists, especially at ISI (Indonesian Arts Institute). But personally, I prefer popular musicians such as KLA Project, Sheila on 7, and Shaggydog 😁
