We are happy to introduce our newest video series: SEQUENCE SESSIONS, made in collaboration with Artefakt Records. SEQUENCE is a series of documented live performances by up-and-coming local acts hailing from and around Surabaya, East Java. To kickstart this archival music journey, we agreed to start with the local favorite Cotswolds who have been around for almost a decade now.
The idea behind this series was initiated and executed to achieve a uniqueβonce in a lifetime performance as well as to help the bands attract and get discovered by a broader spectrum of listeners; especially outside of their home turf.
“We agreed, although only one week prior to the event, to kickstart the journey of our archiving shenanigans with the band that we knew everybody would love. The live was gonna be on a lovely Saturday evening and around 40 minutes drive from downtown. We got there, unpacked our stuff, get everything ready, and made sure we got our things working properly. Quite a lot of people started coming in (to our surprise) and the bassist welcomed the audience, ‘thanks for coming to our intimate live show, you may stand or sit wherever you want. Just get yourself comfortable ’cause the show’s about to start.’ That was the end of the story and the start of our first session,” said Artefakt Records in the liner notes for the session.
We also had the opportunity to sit for a talk with the band. Catch our conversation by clicking the link here.
