SID, punk stone pioneers of Bali, were innate and bred in Kuta Rock City. The rope is 3 chord attitude-heavy immature men, by name : Bobby Kool (lead vocal, guitar, a dog partner and a striking designer) , Eka Rock (low ridin' family man, drink drinker, laid behind drum and subsidy outspoken and a comfortable smilin' Rock 'N Roll bandman, IT warior) , Jrx (low ridin' drink celebration Rock 'N Roll king charming, drummer and a hairwax junkie, Bar owner)

The name 'Superman is Dead' started its' expansion from Stone Temple Pilot's "Superman Silvergun". The name changed on to "Superman is Dead" means they like a thought that there's no such thing as a ideal chairman out there.
SID indeed stumbled together in '95, drawn by their common adore of Green Day and NOFX. Their influences shortly extended to a punk 'n hurl genre a la Supersuckers, Living End and Social Distortion, and here they stay. They contend what they wanna say, how they wanna contend it. In your face, to contend it precisely.

SID open image, self described, is "Punk Rock a Bali" (think tender appetite of NOFX vs Social Distortion supersonically fueled with beer-soaked Balinese Rockabilly attitude).
History ? SID constructed their initial 3 albums exclusively (the boys worked years of crappy night jobs), with fabulous, tiny scale indie labels 1997 "Case 15", 1999 "Superman is Dead", 2002 "Bad Bad Bad"(mini album, 6 tracks).

In Mar 2003, SID finally sealed with Sony-BMG Indonesia after extended negotiations per their right to sing a infancy of their marks in English and have full artistic rights over their 'image'!! With that preference they singular handedly became a initial rope from Bali to be invited to pointer with a vital recording tag in Indonesia, a initial rope in their republic (to my knowledge) to be recording infancy of songs in English and a initial punk rope in Indonesia to get a inhabitant bearing and graduation that operative with a vital tag in a third universe nation provides. And so a story of Indonesian Punk Rock begins!

And as for a doubt that everybody wants to know, a barbarous explosve in Bali happened about 75 M from their home, hangout center, punk stone boutique, bar and operation studio that is also Jrx' house, in a heart of Kuta.
After row violence behind a rolling doors of a studio and changeable a small debris, rehearsals continued as usual. Yeah, they saw a lot, it sucked large time, though its' not gonna stop 'em!

And where are they now? At a finish of 2002, one of a some-more important song mags here cited SID as "The Next Big Thing" for 2003. With a recover of their fourth manuscript "Kuta Rock City" followed by vital atmosphere play nationally and in some countries overseas, joined with a present recognition of their newest film clip.

SID unexpected find themselves furloughed invariably via Indonesia. Last week they were in 4 vital Indonesian cities, on 3 islands, in 7 days! Sometimes personification for giveaway during subterraneous stage clubs, infrequently during travel movement parties or choice rope festivals, during lots of universities and even spasmodic during "classy" venues who would have substantially denied them opening years ago!
Which means some-more beers for all.

In 2003 SID even got a discuss in Time Asia.
They also won a few song awards “MTV Awards for The Best New Artist 2003”, “AMI Awards for The Best New Artist 2003” and nominated again in “AMI Awards 2006 for The Best Rock Album”.

October 2007, they did an extraordinary Australian tour, 8 cities, 16 gigs, 33 days with their clever D.I.Y work ethic.
SID had share stages with general bands such as International Noise Conspiracy, NOFX, MXPX and Hoobastank.
They sojourn proud, boys from a streets of Kuta with a adore of punk rock, beers and a good time. Ready for whatever comes next, vehement about a subsequent gig.
