Sounds From The Corner - Session #18 - Zeke and The Popo

Zeke and the Popo are an Indonesian ambient/ folk rock/ psychedelic band from Jakarta. They are an independent band and signed with Blakmorse record.

Zeke and the Popo, begins as a side project from Zeke (vocal, piano & guitar from the band LAIN) at 2003. Zeke then asked Leonardo Ringo (a.k.a. Mugeni) to jam and the two quickly felt a chemistry between them to create music together. Not long after, they asked Iman Fattah (a.k.a. Babyfaced) also from the band LAIN to play synthesizer. As the trio jammed and played gigs often, they contributed for J.K.T.S.K.R.G compilation from aksara records and this marked the need for a drummer & bass player because the band had felt that their music has grown from a 3 piece sound based band to a spacey, ambient layered analog band. Thus, they asked Amir (a.k.a. Kuro) to play drum & Yuditia Noor (a.k.a. Sideburns) to play bass. In November 2003, they performed together for the first time on the first event in Aksara Bookstore Kemang.[1] All of their albums, plus extra tracks, are now available to buy as a digital download at www.buttonijo.com
