Talking about the pensi phenomenon in the mid-2000s, it wouldn't be complete without mentioning The Upstairs. Throughout 2004, Jimi Multhazam and friends frequently performed on pensi stages. They were even dubbed the specialists of pensi. The 80s new wave music they brought successfully made the audience jump around in retro style.

Nidji is a band with extraordinary stage energy. At the height of their popularity, songs like Hapus Aku and Biarlah often became the closing acts of events. They made the audience not want to go home because it was so exciting.

If your event wants a hot atmosphere, full of moshing and crowdsurfing, NTRL is the top choice. Garuda Di Dadaku once became the peak of euphoria at events, not just for football supporters, but for all the audience thirsty for distortion.

If your school wants a classy event vibe, Maliq is the answer. The soul and jazz atmosphere they bring makes the event afternoon feel warm and romantic. The songs Untitled and Pilihanku successfully made many audience members feel emotional together.

The Changcuters do not just perform, but ignite the spirit of the audience at events, with a retro style and humorous songs like Racun Dunia. They always succeed in making the event stage a fun chaos.

In the 2000s, Seringai was known as one of the kings of school farewell parties. Since releasing their debut album, this high-octane rock band has frequently toured school farewell parties. Although they are independent, their fanbase is actually strong among high school students.

The name NAIF also cannot be overlooked. They have a strong appeal that makes it easy to connect with the student audience. Their retro music and fashion, combined with a relaxed and humorous stage presence, make them always awaited at every farewell party.
