(Plus Derya Yildirim & Grup ŞimŞek & Special Guests)
With weighty drums, a crooning guitar, and a beautiful voice singing about unrequited love or the complications of relationships, there is something charmingly familiar yet undeniably different about Thee Marloes. And while you may be acquainted with soul music, you’ve probably never heard it from Surabaya, Indonesia—the place Thee Marloes call home.
With Natassya Sianturi singing and playing keys, Sinatrya (“Raka”) Dharaka on guitar, and Tommy Satwick on drums, Thee Marloe’s music reflects the band’s early influences from American Hip-Hop and alternative rock. But it’s also a trio that has found an authentic voice, blending an Indonesian vibe with the universal appeal of soul, jazz, and pop.
