THE CRABS - PENGANTIN REMADJA

So, somewhere in the very early 70's one of the kids of dictator Suharto, Bambang Tri (full name Harto Bambang Trihatmodjo Suharto) wanted to be a pop star. He got some friends and started the band The Crabs, got some of the top producers/musicians of that time, Band 4 Nada members A. Ryanto, Harry Toos and Is Haryanto with singer Broery Marantika and Harry S. (Harry Sabar?) and they put out, as far as I know, 2 albums (and a few songs on another album with some other bands).... Must've been very, very early 70's because the songs are all in the old spelling.... From what I understand Bambang Tri started out as the bass player in the band but he got replaced by Frieke Supit and he ended up being the "leader of the band" not really playing anything....

Mostly standard pop songs but there are two stand out tracks on this one, a fantastic track called Tjinta Sedjati, which sounds like some great Italo disco and the incredibly hilarious song Surat Romie, where a guy reads out his break-up letter (spoken by actor/politician Sophan Sophian) to his girlfriend, really, it's hilarious, "I'm not running away from you, tomorrow the sun will come up and shine again for you I'm sure" and meanwhile the girl is crying hysterically all through the track, Sophan Sophian's wife, actress Widyawati is also on the album but I'm not sure if she's the girl crying here....

BAND THE CRABS - PENGANTIN REMADJA

In the 70's one of old dictator Suharto's kids, Bambang Tri had a band, I've got no idea what he played, they put out two albums that you can find elsewhere on this blog. They hired some of the top producers and musicians of that time, A. Ryanto, Idris Sardi, Broery Marantika among them. Here's a 7" taken from one of those albums, pop songs. Check out the fourth song, Surat Romie, it's hilarious really, a guy reading his letter to the girl he's breaking up with, coolly telling her that with time she'll be ok, he's not running away but walking away calmly knowing she will be alright, meanwhile the girl is crying all over the song, really it's hilarious and I don't know if they were serious making this song or if it was meant as a joke....
