Pestolaer

Call it a classic tale of rock n roll disaster. The guys known as PESTOLAER (or squirt gun) could not put out the flames when their studio was engulfed in the May 1998 riots that led to the ouster of former President Suharto. Lost were the masters of their first two albums but their perseverance remained. Seven years and four presidents later, the group in its latest incarnation came out with "Tribute For You," a kaleidoscope of psychedelic sounds recalling the early Manchester days of the Charlatans, Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. Only 1,000 cassettes were released but a special edition has been remastered exclusively for iTunes. Take a trip with these veterans of the Jakarta underground scene and hang on at least until 2007, when their fourth album is scheduled to be released.
