Indonesian Sensation Elephant Kind Takes a Bold Leap to London, Unleashing a Groovy UK Debut Tour
In 2013, they erupted onto the music scene and quickly established themselves as one of Indonesia's premier bands. Elephant Kind, renowned for packing Jakarta's largest venues and amassing millions of streams for their hit albums 'City J' and 'The Greatest Ever,' as well as sharing the stage with global stars like The xx and Franz Ferdinand, is now gearing up for an audacious international leap with their partnership with MOLA Records.
This bold move presented them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - to relocate to London, a city they had yet to explore. In the blazing summer of 2022, the trio consisting of frontman and founder Bam Mastro (vocals/guitar), Bayu Adisapoetra (drums), and Kevin Septanto (bass) embarked on a 7000-mile journey to embrace a new chapter in their lives.
Their gamble is paying off, step by step. Enter 'Superblue,' their latest EP produced by the acclaimed Sam Petts-Davies (known for his work with Thom Yorke, Puma Blue, and Warpaint), seamlessly blending indie, alt-pop, and jazzy psychedelia. Their electrifying gigs, including appearances at Camden Rocks, The Alternative Escape, and Sofar Sounds, are captivating audiences.
Their extraordinary journey, from the heart of Indonesia to the heart of England, is now captured in the documentary 'From Indo To England.' This gripping tale also features live performances of the mesmerizing 'Superblue' tracks, recorded at the legendary RAK Studios. Elephant Kind's meteoric rise has earned recognition from influential voices like NME, Clash, and Dork.
