asterisme live || Sunami live in Jakarta // Keep It Real

Absolutely bonkers! The hardcore show was an absolute blast, as always! Hailing all the way from the vibrant city of Malang, Keep It Real hit the stage with an electrifying energy that was off the charts! Seriously, from the get-go to the midway point, these guys were decked out in badass black balaclavas, flaunting hoodies emblazoned with "KIR" up front and a fierce weapon graphic at the back. Just that opening act already had me losing my mind, especially since it was my maiden voyage witnessing them live after playing their tracks on an endless loop until I was practically seeing double. Hahaha!

This Malang-born hardcore beatdown crew had the entire Bali United Studio pulsating with their raw intensity, to the point where I sometimes momentarily forgot they weren't the headliners. Yet, they matched the night's chaos blow for blow, delivering a performance that was nothing short of insane and left me in awe! As their set drew to a close, things took an even wilder turn. A tidal wave of fans stormed the stage, unleashing utter mayhem and transforming it into a glorious wreck. The sound system wasn't just shifted around but had a few cables yanked free in the process. A few of the organizers even found themselves pushed to their limits, raising their voices to issue stern warnings to the rowdy crowd, who seemed to have lost all sense of restraint. Keep It Real created an atmosphere so wildly contagious, it was pure, unadulterated chaos.

Trueside, hand in hand with Set The Fire Records, Stay Younx, and Knurd, absolutely nailed it when it came to curating the lineup that shared the stage with Sunami for their Indonesian show. Trueside once again proved their mettle and showed everyone how it's done. The sheer energy and madness they brought to the stage were second to none!
