SHEFFIELD
10:00 - 12:00

Two hours of uncanny pop and eerie synth minimalism from Sheffield pioneers The Human League. Formed in Sheffield in 1977, The Human League started as an experimental, post-industrial synth trio. After key members left in 1980, Philip Oakey rebuilt the band with two teenage vocalists, shifting towards the more charismatic (and commercially viable) new wave sound that thrust them into the mainstream. Their 1981 album Dare and the hit “Don’t You Want Me” went on to define early ’80s electronic pop.

Iwan Fals

Iwan Fals

Iwan Fals was first played on NTS on 4 February 2021. Songs played include Balada Orang-Orang Pedalaman.

Iwan Fals, born Virgiawan Listanto on 3 September 1961 in Jakarta, is a charismatic Indonesian singer/songwriter remembered as Indonesia's "most dangerous singer" in the '80s and '90s.

He was popular for his gritty-witty ballads accentuated songs on life of Indonesia's marginalized groups or political satire on the troubled Indonesian social/political scene during the Orde Baru (New Order) period under Soeharto.

Some of his socially aware hit-songs includes: "Oemar Bakri" which tells the story about a "Oemar Bakri", a fictional teacher who represents the hard-work and efforts teachers put into educating us, "Lonteku" is a love story between a criminal and a prostitute, and "Wakil Rakyat" is a song critiquing members of the parliament, specifically their laziness and inability to do their job.

After the Reformasi movement in 1997 which leads to democratisation of the nation as a whole, he was kind of losing the edge for political satire, but his mature musical experience kept him on the Indonesian pop chart with inward-looking songs about personal relationships and social events, and even to this day, he is still making music, some of his latest releases includes "Kanjuruhan", a song about the tragedy that unfolded during a football match in Kanjuruhan.
