The Panturas — Full Performance (Live on KEXP), Seattle, 2026

A live session filmed for Seattle radio station KEXP: the Indonesian band The Panturas, from Bandung, delivers a full performance that flies the flag of contemporary surf rock. Reverb-drenched guitars, nervy tempos and melodies drawn from the coasts of Java: the group transposes the Californian surf imagination into a tropical setting, with a live-concert energy that spills beyond the hushed frame of the KEXP studios. This format, in which several songs run one after another before the cameras with no audience, highlights the precision of the playing and the cohesion of the quartet. For the Western listener, this capture is a rare chance to discover a vibrant Indonesian rock scene, too little documented beyond its borders. KEXP, an institution of American public radio, offers here a live of impeccable sound quality, true to its reputation as a showcase for independent music worldwide. A filmed concert ideal for exploring surf rock beyond its clichés.
