JAKARTA - A rock band from the United States, FireHouse is preparing to shake up three cities in Indonesia. Nate Peck (vocals), Bill Leverty (guitar), Allen McKenzie (bass), and Michael Foster (drums) will hold concerts in Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya.

Joy Ferry, a representative of Color Asia Live as a promoter for a concert in Jakarta, said that the presence of FireHouse this time was to cure the longing of rock music lovers in the country. In addition, to commemorate the late CJ Snare (vocals) who died on April 5.

"We brought in this FireHouse because for about 10 years they haven't been to Indonesia yet, last 2013 I think. So, because it's been a long time, we want to fill the cages of FireHouse fans," said Joe Ferry during a press conference in Harmoni, Central Jakarta, Thursday, October 17.

"Because there was a long moment when the vocalist died, so the moment was right to remember CJ Snare in Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya," he continued.

Then, two other performances, which are promoted by Golden Tsunami Entertainment, will be held at the Bandung Luxury Hall on Saturday, October 19 and at Graha Unesa Surabaya on Sunday, October 20.

He is the best songwriter, he is also the best figure. He taught me what lessons I can and shouldn't do on stage, "said Nate

"He also taught me about good vocals," he added.
