“the musicians all
hail from bandung, west java, a very famous
place for music and bands – a lot of indonesia’s
most famous groups come from there. our current
lineup includes asep subagja S.sn, asep “black”
sukmana S.sn, gun gun permana S.sn, tedi supriandi
S.sn, andre triyandi S.sn, and rudi “ewok”
S.sn. the S.sn stands for sarjana seni, which
means they have their masters degree from the
A.S.T.I. arts university in bandung, one of
the highest regarded music and arts schools
in indonesia. all of them are multi instrumentalists,
each playing some combinaion of percussion,
suling (bamboo flute), kecapi (a zither-like
