(The Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent, often stylized as The SIGIT) is an Indonesian rock band based in Bandung, Indonesia.
In classroom, the group would discreetly listen to their 70s influences, in addition to recent phenomenon britpop, shoegaze and punk music at times.
The S.I.G.I.T.’s wide range of stylistic interests made it difficult for the band to identify the music styles that would fit under their inventive material, initially.
Formed in the early 2000s — a time when artists like Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears were dominating the airwaves — The S.I.G.I.T.
They soon began to send out invitations to weekly garage gigs, which also served beers and barbecues, and their engaging music.
The audience’s reaction was extremely positive and the four-piece realized they would not be forced to confine to radio conventions to gain listeners.
[8] In 2004 they signed with Spills Records and later, in response to popular garage gigs, they released their debut EP in late 2004.
In the legion of garage rock revivalist, they were one of the new crop of bands that looked further into the past for inspiration and emerged triumphantly.
Critics could argue that they, with all its pretentious moniker, were just a passing fad — a band that swam in the slipstream of the garage rock revival promoted by contemporaries like The Datsuns, Kings of Leon, or Wolfmother — but one needs only checking out their live shows to see some raw power in the work, a ferocious rock 'n' roll in the likes of AC/DC and Deep Purple.
Spills Records didn't renew their contract (or they might dissolved) and began to use social medias to spread themselves.
And with the help of their manager, Gino, they played in bigger music events; even appeared on NME's Stereo that said, "Black Amplifier: Scorching, gonzo Zep Rock from our hot new Indonesian friend."
And with some new songs they had worked on, they released their first full-length album Visible Idea of Perfection under FFWD's subsidiary label FFCUTS.
And even FasterLouder, an Australian media, quoted on saying, "...To top it all off, the supports were better calibre than most headliners I’ve seen lately, with Indonesia’s The S.I.G.I.T.
[8] After their first overseas tour in Australia, the band was scheduled to visit the United States to participate in the South by Southwest Festival (SXSW), in Austin, Texas.
They did a small United States tour, played four gigs with the main and last show being the SXSW Festival.
Despite the ups and downs, the band kept on playing their music with huge energy and passion as their fan base grew daily.
The first included a cover of the famous Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and the second one was released digitally on their website in the form of download code.
[12] And in conjunction with the recently released album, the band and its record company celebrated it by doing "The Dyslexia Concert" on 20 June in Bandung.
For fans in other provinces there might be a problem because they have to buy the concert ticket, transport, and standard accommodations like hotel room—they didn't have that much money.
After coming home from the Central Java tour, the band had a discussion with the event organizer and later decided to provide transportation; fans could buy tickets with shuttle bus fare included, which definitely is easier.
Even though songs on this album come from our early periods, the executions had become a new expression of our ideas," Rekti, the lead vocalist and a charismatic frontman, said and added by Farri saying, "Hertz Dyslexia is a rough outline for our second full-album."
Not many bands can bravely stand at the top of their careers, and choose to do the unpopular thing; to release an experimental album.
Rekti had just finished his postgraduate studies in Environmental Engineering at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).
Detourn was released in March 2013, more than six years since their critically acclaimed debut album, Visible Idea of Perfection, back in 2007.
On an interview, the band promised the album would be released in mid or late 2012 but later had to be postponed because they ran out of money or/and they had production issues.
And on the musical side, Rekti was given the opportunity to realize his long-held wish to have a flute and Irish whistle in "Son of Sam"; admittedly, not a common choice of instruments for a rock band.
And with the help from their label, and an event organized, "Detournement" was held on 26 October 2013, at the same venue as "The Dyslexia Concert".
"[15][16] Due to the intricacy of playing songs from Detourn in live performances, they recruited Absar Lebeh as an additional guitar player.
In 2020, they released a single titled "Another Day" In 2023, following the departure of former bassist Aditya Bagja Mulyana, The SIGIT announced a newly formed lineup, recruiting Indonesian band Monkey to Millionaire bassist and former crew member of the band, Aghan Sudrajat.
In 2024, Acil Armando announced his departure through a poem in his Instagram post, after spending more than two decades with the band.
