SCALLER Burned The House Down with “Spirit of The Thing” Concert
On 23 February 2017, SCALLER had successfully held their first ever solo concert titled “Spirit of The Thing” at Soehana Hall, SCBD, Jakarta. The couple, Reney Karamoy and Stella Gareth, have prepared this concert to promote their newest album “Senses”. The concert was opened by a performance from Anomalyst, which made the event more energetic and stunning. Besides the opening act, there were many surprises that were given by Scaller on their concert. “The Alarm” became the single that opened their set and in this opening song, they brought along a famous musician in the music scene who was no other thatn Gerald Situmorang. Enrico Octaviano also played the drums for Scaller in this special concert.
For an hour or so, they sang in total of 11 songs and in this debut concert, Stella Gareth stunned with her solo piano rendition while singing to “Lotus Dream”. Reney Karamoy also accompanied her set with his guitar. The combination managed to bring us in awe and this duo have the total package of musicians and also performers. After performing 8 songs, Scaller brought their class and elegance while singing “The Youth”. The song had successfully burned the house down and the audience danced and sang along to the tunes. Even though, Soehanna Ballroom is relatively small to hold a concert, Scaller still slayed their set very hard. The addition of brilliant sound and lighting pleased our senses and it maximized the concert experience from the start till end.
After stating that “The Youth” would be their last song of the night, they bid goodbye to the audience. The spectators were calling out their names and wanted an encore and Scaller once again returned the stage to bring two additional songs which were “Live N Do” and “Stay on Track”. The release of their album “Senses” is a good thing to start the year and with this “Spirit of The Thing” concert, Scaller prove that they will claim this year as theirs and we won’t complaint!
