JAKARTA - On the evening of February 7, we approached an event called Start With A Gig! or abbreviated as SWAG! at M Bloc Space, Jakarta. This event did not charge any of the audience.
SWAG! organized to promote the works of various musicians who are still relatively new to the national music scene. Of course, these musicians have gone through the curation process.
This event, which has a noble purpose, takes place every Tuesday. And yesterday's event, has entered its 28th edition.
Held with a minimalist set, even with an electric drum set, made the performers have to rack their brains on how to look stunning.
The performers included Budiraya, Comatra, and SIMALLODRA. They performed their best 3-4 songs.
To be honest, we are quite skeptical about how the governance this event will produce. The reason is, as far as we have visited various similar events, the sound system often feels less than optimal. As a result, the performers could not promote their work properly.
Apparently, our guess is wrong. The voting system at the SWAG event! This is enough to support the performers to give their best.
We hope, more and more noble events like this in other cities. So that new musicians have an abundant forum to find their fans.
