Well thank you to everyone who has asked about, commented, downloaded, bought, or supported/shared in this effort in any way. We will continue to sell these songs as digital downloads from this website as we finish a few more tunes and tweaks before the ITUNES release. Stay tuned more to come this month. And a couple of U.S. shows in the works too.
Thanks.
Jeff
NOH.

All of us but Jason slept in our own beds last night. He will be flying home today or tomorrow to Bloomington, IL. I must say I am still waking up at 4:30, and things feel a bit weird. So grateful to see our families again, but we also miss all the new friends we made on the other side of the world. We will certainly never forget the experience. We will post all the new pics when “Big Ben” gets them ready for me. So good night Indonesia, good morning Savannah, GA!!!! – Jeff.

Thank you Sensa Hotel, Ciwalk, Ardan Radio, and especially the Peace Generation Team for making our trip amazing!!!

Bandung, Indonesia as a thank you for your wonderful hospitality, please use this link or go to the FREE NOH MUSIC page to download some songs for free “gratis”.

Our time here in Indonesia is really flying by. The day before yesterday we were in the studio with the Ma’had. We wrote and recorded a song with them in about 7 hours, Jason is going back to finish guitars today. After the studio we had to rush to Ardan Radio, for a live interview on the air. It was awesome, and they played all of our songs on air in between the interview. We played Please, Please live on the air sitting on their couches. Very fun!!! Yesterday we played at a public school here in Bandung, once again the principal and vice principal were amazing, as were all the kids. Let me just say it was hooooottttt! The kids didn’t even want to sit in the sun, so they crowded around and behind the stage. Ben Giddens got shocked pretty bad (he went down hard, but he is okay now) on his mic, and Ben Plummer got sunburned only on one side of his face. I have attached some pics for those of you who have been asking. – Jeff

What a long and amazing day. The morning started with sulfur geysers at a volcano, followed by a few sweet potatoes from a street vendor. After a 2 hour car ride back to bandung some of us were judges at band auditions. We will be picking the first act for our Ciwalk concert. We some amazing talent. We all agreed that we all wished we were as talented as these kids when we were in Jr. High! We will announce the winner at the cafe’ on Sunday night. We are headed back to our hotel for some much needed R and R. We will see everyone soon….I love you erin-Buddy

Saturday night we tried to set up and have a sound check which failed. We didn’t have the sound equipment or the correct power to run the sound board we carried 10,000 miles. We arrived at the boarding school in Garut at 7:00 am Friday morning. We were joined by over 700 students taking the peace promise from the Peace Generation curriculum and another boarding school and several state representatives celebrating the holy day and the peace curriculum. We were welcomed with open arms. We were humbled by the kindness and graciousness of everyone. To that we say “Teri ma kasih”. Now some details…

The visiting school opened the assembly with a more traditional set of music (we were super pumped about the percussion and the recorder, think traditional meets Arcade Fire). A graduate of the peace generation program shared a little with the students and administration about the importance of why we (north of here) were there. A young girl gave a testimony basically outlining the 12 principles of Peace Gen and then the students that had finished. 200 boys and girls from the school made the peace promise. After a super quick sound check (sorry Rob) we played 4 tunes and then the schools local band The Ma ‘had played a set. It was crazy fun.

Later that day we did a Q and A with some students that won a school contest. Eric translated everything for us and we had a blast with all the students. Thank you to everyone in Garut that made our day amazing.

We stayed in amazing little huts at Mul ih Kadesa among the rice patties and the water buffalos. We are all tired but amazed at all the connections that are happening.

Tomorrow afternoon we are going to hand out flyers for the Rock the Peace concert on the 24th with a bunch of kids in Bandung, then we are playing at Prefere 72 Cafe. More updates tomorrow, Good night, rather good morning for now. -Jeff

We woke up with the a traditional Indonesian breakfast (close to a thai/chinese dinner for breakfast). Buddy was excited to eat a spicy breakfast. We spent the day driving to Bandung to the Maxey’s house. On our journey the van kept overheating and we ran over a extremely large dog (might have been the last dog in Indonesia?). We were reunited with the Lindborg’s today it was great to see a familiar face. We ate lunch at Eric’s and had the first meeting all together. It became clear that Eric was the perfect man for heading up The Peace Generation. He spoke to us about things that were very specific to every person, even though he has never met any of us. I saw today that every person here has a specific purpose. We got to the hotel an had a meet and greet with The Peace Generation Committee they showed us are schedule, posters, t shirts and how much hard work they have been doing, we are very honored to be a part of this. THANK YOU for inviting us to come to Indonesia. We spent some time talking with our new friends at Starbucks. Even in Indonesia they still call me Big Ben.

So we hope you enjoy these little vids of Ben freaking out in the airplane. Takeoff + a little turbulence + landing + Ben = a good time. Check it out.

Well we are two days in, two days left as far as rehearsals for Indonesia (Rock the Peace). Some tasty tunes for the other side of the world. We will finish formulating the final sets tomorrow. Been good having everyone in the same zipcode again. If you want to hear/buy some new tunes before they are officially released, you can do that through the music page on this site. Goodnight world.
