Alrite, Rufio is a band that I have been listened to since 2002. First time I heard about their music was from a compilation CD released by Side One Dummy Records. Stoked by their music, I started searching for their album and the first album was “1985” released by Nitro Records that owned by Dexter Holland of the Offspring, as a punk rocker that live in Indonesia of course this album is not an original album. Man, its not even release here…none of my favorite bands! “1985” was their 2nd album, with help of a friend who had an internet connection at his house so I can get their first album “perhaps, I suppose..” released by The Militia Group in 2001. and then I’ve got their last album: Comfort of Home released by Nitro Records in 2005. this is the last band's album, before the band broke up in….
Then in …. The band announce on their myspace page that they will doing some reunion tour across the world starting from South America.
And finally , on June 2008 I heard a rumours about their tour will hit Indonesia, Jakarta for sure..whew…I swallowing my drool when I heard about that, and start crossing my fingers..hoping they will drop by in Bali just like NOFX did last year….
I have lost lots of change to watch my favorite bands, because they only play in Jakarta.
From Sick Of It All, to Ignite and MxPx.
The news about Rufio is coming to Indonesia is getting stronger, a friend of mine from Jakarta send me a message on Yahoo Messenger: Rufio Jakarta 18 July, Hard Rock Café Bali 21 July.
I was like?? Wtf? Is this real? I’m asking him? “Are you sure they will come to Bali?” the answer was like: “ I dunno man, I just forward this message to you, cuz I know you like them!” whoa..man…since then I start looking for information if this is real! I ask my friend who use to work as a AE at Hard Rock Radio, I ask Jerinx too..none of them give me a specific answer…fuck..fuck..fuck…
Until one day…on the way to Buleleng with the Suicide Glam family, I was on the same car with Dethu. He said: “I got assignment/job to handle Rufio to play in Bali”….whoa…I said: “oh ok, if you need a liaison officer, please let me know..I don’t care about how much I’m gonna get paid!”
The next day, Dethu start asking what kind of band is Rufio? I said “Rufio is a Californian based punk band…well you know Californian punk, a melodicpunk band…should I describe more?” and then he laughing and then jumping imitating the style melodicpunker jumping with their guitar...hahaahaha…
That time I was not thinking about how much is the ticket gonna be, the only think in my mind was Rufio..Rufio…
15 days before the show, I got an sms from Dethu: Psychofun opening act for Rufio, fee Rp.xxxx…ok? that time I was driving my bike on the street, when I was on a traffic light and read the message!! Without thinking about how much Psychofun gonna get paid on that show, I’m just reply: “yes!” at home I read the sms several time, just to make sure this is real and the forwarded the sms from Dethu to all Psychofun band member.
All of the band member and my associate manager in the band; Yudis are amazed..haha..yeah.
