JAKARTA - The Changcuters learned valuable lessons from the incident experienced by Tria (vocals), who fainted on stage while appearing at The Sound's Project last August.

For the 20-year celebration concert since its debut in the music industry, which will be held on December 7, The Changcuters asked riders to provide a backstage medical team.

"Usually there is no medical team, we ask that a special medical team for The Changcuters be provided, to check before and after (the show)," Qibil told the media crew in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta recently.

"So every time it's finished or you want to start performing, someone is sent to stand by (backstage) for The Changcuters. It's like for me, later attention, checks, and everything," Tria said.

Dipa, bassist and manager of The Changcuters, said the new riders were aimed at because each personnel wanted to be stricter in maintaining health conditions.

"We are also stricter in every way, but to take care of everything," said Dipa.

The bassist said this was also recommended by the team of doctors who handled Tria after the incident collapsed on stage.

"Yes, it's from the team of doctors, so it's safe, because everything is checked, everything is physically safe," said Dipa.

"This incident makes us self-aware. We sometimes feel that our soul is still in our 20s, even though it is physically 40 years old. So we have to be introspective," concluded Qibil.
