Rock'n Roll in Indonesia started from one of the famous bands and has been formed since 1945 in Surabaya as The Timor Rhythm Brothers and widely known as The Tielman Brothers. If there is one #musician or #band that is worth mentioning as a #pioneer of Rock music in Indonesia, then it is them. The Tielman Brothers comprises the sons of Herman Tielman, a Captain of the KNIL Army from Kupang. At the beginning of its appearance, the band performed at family events or relatives of the father at home. But then the band The Timor Rhythm Brothers showed their talent in various performances and changed their name to The Tielman Brothers. Influencing them is incredible to the corners of the world. It is rumored that the #music of The Beatles was inspired from The Tielman Brothers. Nevertheless, in #Indonesia alone rock music has not revealed its form until the 1960s.
The fall of the Old Order regime in the 1960s turned out to create a new phenomenon among young people of that era. The formation of bands with English-speaking names became very prevalent, coupled with the tendency to bring western songs that were popular at that time increasingly showed a western #cultural fever that hit a number of young Indonesians. A number of famous bands can not be separated from the puja and praise at that time, such as the legendary British bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stone, The Hollies, Herman's Hermits, Yardbirds, The Kinks to John Mayall and The Bluesbreaker.Pendence to adapt the influence of group music the British Invasion and the #psychedelic psyche further fostered the formation of the band until it developed rapidly.
In Jakarta itself at that time the band of young people who berkiblat on British and American musical style began to appear. Some of the bands that are recorded using English names include The Lords, The Flower Poetman, Big Man Robinson, Gipsy Chronic Pot Head, Top's, The Gibs, The Discs, The Comets, D'Galaxies, The Pro's. Not only that, in that era also appeared nana-name bands that follow the spelling in English, such as Chekink with the meaning of the word "ceking", which refers to the name of the British band The Kinks, there is even a band name The Rollies Dedy Stanzah the name maker, The Rollies is nothing but a term to describe the hair type of its personnel, ie curls (roll) and straight (lies) so shortened to The Rollies. But did not rule out if the name of The Rollis taken from a blend of The Rolling Stones with The Hollies, given the band The Rollis often bring the songs of both bands from England.
Not only in Jakarta alone, a number of bands also thrive in Bandung, Surabaya, Malang and Medan. They often appear on birthday parties or Dayak parties, which is a term for a party of young people who have fun by showing the band as entertainment.
In that era also appeared fanomena band boy, which actually has appeared in the 1940s. The majority of boy bands are made up of family members, so it is not excessive if the boy band is a family band. One of the famous bands and has been formed since 1945 in Surabaya as The Timor Rhythm Brothers and widely known as The Tielman Brothers.
No doubt if the boy band came from middle to upper family in Jakarta, because the support of adequate music facilities is very influential on the existence of the boy band itself. One example is a band with the name Noor Brothers in the area of Jalan Sriwijaya, Kebayoran. The band began to be active and formed since 1962 of course supported music facilities are adequate because it comes from a family that is. Personnel from Noor Brothers include Firzi Noor, Harry Noor, Iwan Noor, Yanti Noor, Ida Noor and Nana Noor.
Until the #1970s the phenomenon of the boy band still prevailed, one of which is the emergence of boy bands that include the son of the musician daughter Said Kelana, namely Idham Noorsaid, Iromy Noorsaid, Lydia Noorsaid, and Imaniar Noorsaid named Trio The Kids, but later changed its name to The Kids. In the late 1970s the band decided to change its name to The Big Kid's Brother with the inclusion of two youngest sons Said Kelana namely Isnan Noorsaid and Irwan Noorsaid as drummers and keyboard players. The boy band also recorded a success accompanying Bing Slamet and Kwartet Jaya played a #film titled "Busy Busy Bing Slamet" which is a comedy film in 1972.
