Erlend Øye, his eye glass and Whitest Boys Alive


I should tell about Erlend and his band Whitest Boys Alive playing concert in this town a month ago. But I think I had forgetfulness to wrote this event on this blog. This concert was took place in auditorium hall RRI Bandung on Saturday night ( December 6th, 2008 ). With ticket price Rp. 90.000,- not exceedingly expensive for foreign musicians concert. Actually this wasn’t a huge concert, only a small relaxed concert on Saturday night.

Oh ya, I’m telling you …there was a queerness in this concert. Because Erlend and his band “Whitest Boys Alive” were actually a substitute band. Substitute for Jens Lekman ( a Swedish indie pop singer ). Jens concert committee informing about the cancellation through an official group on facebook several hours before show time, because Jens Lekman still detained on the airport in China. So I was already knew, and the official concert crews on the spot tells me that Erlend Øye and his band will perform as substitute. Well …that was quite make me felt relieved, because I’m gonna watch Erlend again. He was came and playing concert to this town couple years ago, of course with his previous band “Kings of Convenience”. And I was quite familiar with Kings of Convenience songs, but I never listening or knowing the songs of Whitest Boys Alive. So this concert make me understand about the band named Whitest Boys Alive. And Erlend who usually act calmly now he was quite enthusiastic that night. I really enjoy this concert even though not knowing the lyrics of their songs, and as usual I was making plenty pictures and videos of this concert.
