Superman Is Dead (SID), punk rock pioneers of Bali, were born and bred in Kuta Rock City. The band is three chord attitude-
heavy young men, by name :Bobby Kool (lead vocal, guitar, a dog lover and a graphic designer) , Eka Rock(low ridin' family
man, beer drinker, laid back bass and backing vocal and a warmsmilin' Rock 'N Roll bandman, IT warior) , Jrx (low ridin' beer
drinking Rock'N Roll prince charming, drummer and a hairwax junkie, Bar owner)
The name 'Superman is Dead' started its' evolution from Stone Temple Pilot's"Superman Silvergun". The name moved on to
"Superman is Dead" cause theylike the idea that there's no such thing as a perfect person out there.SID actually stumbled
together in '95, drawn by their common love of Green Dayand NOFX. Their influences soon extended to the punk 'n roll genre a
la Supersuckers,Living End and Social Distortion, and here they stay. They say what they wanna say,how they wanna say it. In
your face, to say it precisely.
SID public image, self described, is "Punk Rock a Bali" (think raw energy of NOFX vsSocial Distortion supersonically fueled with
beer-soaked Balinese Rockabilly attitude).History ? SID produced their first three albums independently (the boys worked
yearsof crappy night jobs), with fabulous, small scale indie labels 1997 "Case 15", 1999"Superman is Dead", 2002 "Bad Bad Bad"
(mini album, 6 tracks).
In March 2003, SID finally signed with Sony-BMG Indonesia after extendednegotiations regarding their right to sing the majority
of their tracks in English andhave full artistic rights over their 'image'!! With that decision they single handedlybecame the first
band from Bali to be invited to sign with a major recording label inIndonesia, the first band in their nation (to my knowledge) to
be recording majorityof songs in English and the first punk band in Indonesia to get the national exposureand promotion that
working with a major label in a third world country provides.And so the history of Indonesian Punk Rock begins!
