JAKARTA - The Changcuters rock band expressed their hope of holding a solo concert when entering their 20th debut in the country's music industry. "That's hope and we have to prepare. Concerts, dates and singles," said bassist Dipa Nandastyra Hasibuan or familiarly called Dipa quoted from Antara, Thursday.

Dipa said the band was still trying to get the concert to be carried out immediately with the planning that had been carried out this year. "We talked about it from this year because it took time. We don't want to have a concert suddenly," he said. The same thing was expressed by the vocalist of the band Mohammad Tria Ramadhani or familiarly called Tria. He said that even if the solo concert was not held during the 20th anniversary of next year, there would still be an opportunity in the following year. The Changcuters, consisting of five personnel, namely Mohammad Tria Ramadhani, Dipa Nandastyra Hasibuan, Muhammad Iqbal, Arlanda Ghazali Langitan and Erick Nindyoastomo, were formed in 2004. They then released their first album in 2006 entitled "Trying Success", followed by the repackaged album with the same title two years later.

Ketika ditanya rahasia kekompakan mereka tetap utuh tanpa bongkar pasang personel, baik Dipa maupun Tria sepakat komunikasi dan menekan ego sebagai kuncinya."Komunikasi di antara kami berlima, sudah mau 20 tahun nge-band jadi sudah saling mengerti. Tahu kapan harus menurunkan ego. Semakin ke sini semakin ke sini kami jarang ada pertikaian. Semakin bisa menyelesaikan dengan santai," kata mereka.
