With a name that's an acronym for The Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance, The Sigit is a psychedelic hard-rock quartet from West Java, Indonesia. And though the band's been called “the Indonesian answer to Wolfmother” by the Australian media, The Sigit's 2006 debut album rocks more like a supercharged Kubero Diaz, with touches of early Grand Funk Railroad. “Black Amplifier” dishes out overdriven blues-rooted leads on top of a buoyant rhythm, as guitarist and frontman Rektivianto Yoewono wails like a young Robert Plant (albeit with a thick Indonesian accent). “No Hook” is a punchier jam, blending Stooges-inspired punk ‘n’ roll sleaze with classic rock cowbell. “Live in New York” mellows out with an acoustic guitar-based garage rocker that recalls The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Bringing It All Back Home Again. Over six-string strumming and a tambourine, an impassioned Yoewono daydreams aloud about the possibility of uprooting from Java and settling in The Big Apple. In the raunchy “Alright,” Yoewono joins Jim Morrison, Jeff Spicoli, and Lou Reed, someone for whom the word “alright” fits like leather pants.
