Fourtwnty Presents Concert Stories from 10 Cities Through a DVD Titled 'HELIOTROPISME'

Kapanlagi.com - Indonesian music lovers, especially for the 4.20 Society, will be spoiled with the new release of their idol band, Fourtwnty. The band, led by Ari Lesmana, Nuwi, and Roots, released a DVD of their concert tour in 10 cities held in 2019 titled HELIOTROPISME.

The release of HELIOTROPISME is a result of their collaboration with KFC through Jagonya Musik Indonesia & Sport Indonesia (JMSI). In this DVD, besides showcasing Fourtwnty's performances on stage with 10 popular songs, it also presents their journey during the tour.

"We included a few minutes of the journey story. We wanted to let people know that there are stories behind those 10 cities. Initially, it was for personal consumption but we decided to package and share it with friends," said Nuwi.

"The goal is to encourage other bands to do the same. There used to be something like this, but now we want to make sure it exists again," added Nuwi.

Meanwhile, Steve Lillywhite, CEO of JMSI, expressed his satisfaction with this collaboration. He mentioned that it took a long time for him to convince Fourtwnty to collaborate. Indeed, the producer Once and CEO of JMSI had planned this collaboration since 2017. Both of them also acknowledged that Fourtwnty is a prominent indie band in Indonesia with its own charm and distinctive characteristics on stage, and Fourtwnty already has a considerable number of fans.

"I think they are the best band in Indonesia. I really like them. I love their songs, they have a distinctive style on stage," he said.

Similarly, Once Mekel, the producer of JMSI, didn't hesitate to praise Ari Lesama and his team. According to him, there were many factors to consider in collaborating with Fourtwnty. Besides their popularity, Ari Lesmana and his team have songs that are loved by many people.

"Of course, the quality of their songs is also a consideration for us," said Once Mekel.

In the process of producing this concert DVD, Fourtwnty involved the SAA (Seadadanya) Team, which is part of their management and responsible for audiovisual aspects. This DVD is now available in over 700 KFC stores. As a bonus, Fourtwnty included a new song titled 'High' in this DVD, which is their first English-language song. This song will be featured in Fourtwnty's third album.
