The SIGIT
The S.I.G.I.T. (The Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent, often stylized as The SIGIT) is an Indonesian rock band based in Bandung, Indonesia. The band consists of Rektivianto "Rekti" Yoewono (vocals, guitar), Farri Icksan Wibisana (guitar), Aghan Sudrajat (bass), and Absar Lebeh (guitar). They have three studio albums and two EPs: Visible Idea of Perfection (2007) and Detourn (2020); The S.I.G.I.T. (2004) and the two-parted Hertz Dyslexia that was released separately in 2009 and 2011.
When asked about the origin of the band's name, Rekti explained, "I was on the internet with nothing to do, so I just had this silly thought about searching for my name on Google. I thought, "What does 'Rekti' mean on the other side of the world?" Then I decided to do the same with my father's name, Sigit. Then I found this website sigit.com which was a science interests group's website, and I thought it would be a cool name for the band, so I worked on the abbreviation stand." The band later admitted that the idea of abbreviating the name came from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, one of their influences.
They described themselves as hard rock band and often being compared to Wolfmother and The Datsuns. They were even dubbed as "The Indonesians answer to Wolfmother" by an Australian media.
