This interview by It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine should already be a piece of history. This awesome blog managed to get an interview from the most seminal rock musician who emerged from Indonesia. And, once again, you have to think about what it was to play rock music under a dictatorship...
Soebardja founded many groups (The Peels, Shark Move, Giant Step, Lizard), even played solo, and is recognized as one of the best psychedelic artists of Asia. His sound is raw, fuzzy, almost violent sometimes... jubilatoire.
The label Strawberry Rain reissued in 2011 and 2012 several albums of Benny, in very limited editions. It was preceeded by Shadoks which reissued the Shark Move album, "Ghede Chokra's", in 2007. Also a limited edition, as usual with Shadoks.

So, go read that interview, you'll learn a thing or two about the man and his passion for music.
