The Hydrant was formed in Denpasar Bali, 14 August 2004, at the first
time played and composed many pure Rockabilly tunes. Soon became the
one and the first band which take part in Rockabilly scene movement in
Indonesia.
That was Wis, the former guitar player, was introduced to Marshello, and
finally created a very good vibe for music scene in Bali and Indonesia as
well. The aim was one, to play and to introduce Rockabilly music all over
Indonesia, Most of The Hydrant's influences are from 50's Rock and Roll
and Rockabilly such as Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Johnny
Cash and Stray Cats. Knowing Bali as a very famous tourism destination,
specially Kuta, Rockabilly music and lifestyle easily and suddenly
transferred to these 4 boys' soul. They have been writing their songs in
English and Indonesia. Rockabilly is a combination of Hillbilly (also known
as country music) and Rock and Roll (becomes Rock music), is emerged in
early 1950. Other important influences on rockabilly include gospel
music, western swing, boogie woogie, and rhythm and blues. Although
there are notable exceptions, its origins lie primarily in the southern
United States. Name such as Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent, Bill Halley, Carl
Perkins, Johnny Cash and many more were the real Rockabilly pioneers, in
the early 80’s, there's Stray Cats came with the new taste of Rockabilly
known as Rockabilly Revival.
