About this episode

The episode features Grrl Gang, an Indonesian indie pop band, discussing their music, influences, and social themes in their songs.

Formed in Yogyakarta, based in Jakarta, Grrl Gang is an Indonesian indie pop band consisting of vocalist/guitarist Angee Sentana, bassist/vocalist Akbar Rumandung, and guitarist/vocalist Edo Alventa. Their newest maxi-single release Online 24/7 is out now via Green Island Music. Angee and Akbar share the origin of the band and how The Stone Roses not only changed Akbar’s life but played a role in the formation of the Grrl Gang. Angee tells us why her approach to the new songs is more direct and how their fans influenced this approach. She explains why she wanted to address the subject of femicide on the song O, My Love and why it was important to come from an empathetic perspective. The three discuss touring in Southeast Asia, the “guitarist personality” and we sample a few tunes from Online 24/7. Grrl Gang Green Island Music This episode supported by our friends at Izotope .
