A band formed in the capital city of Jakarta, Indonesia in the late 2012 by Mister Jones aka JMono called Neurotic recently updated their official YouTube channel with several lively video performance called “Neurotic 1.1”. These videos showed how great the electropop band in terms of their musical ability and how strong their live performance actually. All of the songs that they played were taken from their debut album titled “Weird” including Let’s Get Weird, Aku Melangkah, Lepaskanlah, Surga Durjana, Pelangi, Sehabis Gelap Hilang Terbitlah Terang Datang, and their latest single which is called Berwarna. The entire videos of “Neurotic 1.1” were created by Video Director Alain Goenawan, Director of Photography Andi Gondi, Cameramen Audrey Hafiz and Yudha Putera, Colouring and Grading by Inksomnia Solution, and shot at Upstairs Home Studio. Neurotic first album “Weird” was launched under Trinity Optima Production and Sinjitos Records. The album itself were done since July 2013 but got delayed due to election party, world cup, and the spirit of fasting month and Eid. Sitting as the producer of this album are Widi Puradiredja from Maliq & D’Essentials and Hendra Jaya Putra from Rock N Roll Mafia. Jones and his band members decided to work with them because of the several songs that they listened through Rock N Roll Mafia latest album “Prodigal”.
At the end of 2011, JMono, an eccentric musician formerly known as the bass player of major band Alexa decided to record the songs that he wrote into a mini-album titled “A Very Long Weekend”. During the production of his mini-album, the musicians which is known with nickname Jones also decided to play all the instruments by himself, including the voice of its music. Part of the result of his album “A Very Long Weekend”, the only single “Tidur” survive long-enough in several radio stations or national charts by simply relying on a free download system and personal promotion by Jones through several social media. As for the result, the album “A Very Long Weekend” was downloaded by nearly half a million and Jones began to gain enthusiasm for his actions as a singer and multi-instrumentalist musicians from the community as well as among musicians. On October 2012, Alexa formally dismiss Jones from his position as bass player. With a strong motivation and desire to create such a great music, Jones ventured to form a band which later named “Neurotic”. In addition to bring his works to the mass public, he also took the extreme decision to being a frontman of the group and vocalist. Apparently, his decision took a humble and positive applaud by local listeners. Neurotic then began to perform in public at the end of 2012 until today.
