Hey Yudya are you sure that's a true story?
VOLCANO broadcasts ONLY BALINESE ALTERNATIVE and INDEPENDENT commercial-free 24x7 364!
This week VOLCANO is going to break one of its foundational principles! Ouch!
You see, VOLCANO is a broadcasting conduit for emerging Balinese alternative music. We typically politely skip over bands or acts with an Instagram count of 5,000 followers or more. Mega bands with mass popularity are just not our thing. This week, we are riding the snake to feature a band with over 14,000 followers.
But first….
YUDYA @bagusyudya has dropped over to us some more sounds. This week we are featuring “MANUSIA KERA” (Monkey Man). YUDYA tells us it’s a true story (!!!) about a Balinese magical "LEAK" that transforms a human into a monkey resulting in his family suffering and dying. OK, guys, let’s go full-on Tripitaka with this one, “Manusia Kera” is spinning!
Beneath The Eclipse @beneaththeeclipse.official tell us they are an aliencore band from another galaxy, but due to a technical malfunction, their spaceship is stranded here in Bali. Their track “Xenomorph Demon” has landed in the VOLCANO studio. It’s ten minutes long, it’s out of this world, and it’s spinning! Oh, and we need to give a special shout-out and thanks to @sastrawidnyana(@stormhour_official), @ajunganom (@fadthrills_official) and @gilang_008 (@carnagedeath) who introduced us to these extra-terrestrials.
Way back in 2019, we were getting ready to launch VOLCANO – Bali’s first true no-bullshit, non-commercial, alternative radio station. And the very first band we ever met and spoke to (backstage at RAKSA) was WHITE SWAN @whiteswanrock. The guys have grown from their infancy back then to now being Bali's alternative royalty. So, let’s break the VOLCANO rules and play a mega band. Their massive new album “Behind The Door” needs no introduction from us, everyone knows about it - VOLCANO is spinning the track “Your Enemy”.
Born in Ambon, but raised here in Bali, JASCHA RIRHENA @jascharirihena is a bit obsessed with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Have you heard us playing his latest drop “Lucky”? It’s stuck in our heads, another one of those earworms – and so it’s earned its place on today’s VOLCANO poster.
VOLCANO’s feature artists are all over KATIE @katkills & JONGO’s @jongo_on_air shows this week - plus you can always hear the bands of the POSTER uninterrupted, back-to-back daily right after ya’ finish ya’ Puja Tri Sandhya prayers at 0600, 1200 & 1800 Bali time.
Tune in via Satellite, Cable TV Networks, In-Flight Entertainment, Apps and Digital Streams right across Bali – and beyond!
