JAKARTA - The cancellation of the Reality Club appeared at the South by Southwest (SXSW) event in Austin, Texas, United States in March, becoming a hot topic of conversation at that time.

Fathia Izzati (vocals), Faiz Novascotia Saripudin (vocals and guitars), Nugi Wicaksono (bass), and Era Patigo (drums) chose to resign because the event was sponsored by the United States Army and weapons manufacturers supporting Israel.

The position of the Reality Club on the conflict in Gaza is clear. They condemned Istael's genocide and supported the liberation and independence of Palestine.

Until now, the Reality Club still consistently supports Palestine. Fathia Izzati admitted that the band did not want to cooperate with brands (products) indicated to have ties to Israel.

"What is certain is that we are already vocal individually, and as a band we don't work with brands related to Israel," said Fathia Izzati at fX Sudirman, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, July 17.

"Maybe it's also one of the real tough considerations. But it's fine. We boycott," said Fathia.

On many occasions, such as charity concerts for Palestine, Reality Clubs are also present. They want to help Palestinians victims through a lot of action.

However, for the 'Reality Club Presents... Indonesia Tour 2024' concert tour, Fathia wants to have fun with the audience. They have not thought of presenting activities to support Palestine on the tour later.

"And for some charity, we've played several times. But it seems like when we go on tour, we haven't thought about bringing it yet," concluded Fathia Izzati.
