JAKARTA - Including as a big band that has been in the country's music industry for a long time, Ungu has flexible riders. They choose not to charge the work of the organizers who invite them to perform.
According to the bassist's confession, Makki Parikesit, Ungu never overapplies riders to the organizers. However, he mentioned one thing that cannot be negotiated, namely access to smoking areas.
"The experience in my band, Ungu, our riders who cannot be offered is only one, smoking area, wherever we stand," Makki told the media crew in Pancoran, South Jakarta recently.
Outside of the smoking area access, Makki said the Ungu riders were still at a normal stage and could still be negotiated by the organizers who invited them.
"But the others are just adjusting, it's appropriate," added Makki.
Makki gave one example where Ungu is very flexible about riders. When visiting North Sulawesi to appear, Ungu personnel, who were initially promised to go to the venue by plane, were forced to board a wooden ship.
"We were once in one of the cities in North Sulawesi, because the plane didn't come, we were forced to board a wooden boat," said Makki. But maybe it's not the organizer's fault either, but I don't know. And because of the event, our event was caught in the next event.

However, Makki does not deny the existence of some non-professional organizers. According to him, musicians should be wiser regarding riders, because it could have an impact on the career journey of musicians.
"Yes, there are also organizers who want their hotels, travel. We have rights, but we don't do anything about it," he said. The basic principle is that, if the riders are weird and business the organizers, the existing ones don't make you any more."
