SOULsvc. Representing only the very best of Indonesia's rock, pop, and RnB artists.
THE BARDOGS
Based out of the tropics of Bali, Island of the Gods, Indonesia's prized rock darlings The Bardogs have taken the Southern rock and Americana genres by storm as SE Asia's premier original blues-rock signal fire. After finishing up recently on tour internationally, The Bardogs' long-awaited new album, Top of the World, has hit like a meteor with traditional blues and southern rock audiences as well as modern soul and funk lovers alike, catapulting them into the marquee festival limelight in America and Europe.
META RAMONA
Meta Ramona has established herself as one of Indonesia's only two premiere in-demand female bassists, backing up many of the hottest hard-rocking acts in the region for the last 10 years. As SOULsvc's latest signing, however, Meta is also shocking audiences nationwide as a vocalist and songwriter, having just launched her debut solo project, hand-picking her new band, and taking her high-octane show on the road this year. With a hot churning brew of pop-punk old-school alternative rock and roll, Meta is lighting stages on fire across Indonesia. Her debut solo album surfaces this year in time for summer festival appearances.
STONE COLD KILLERS
The brainchild of drummer/producer and SOULsvc co-founder Deane Ogden, Stone Cold Killers is Indonesia's first-ever funk and soul supergroup. Consisting of Ogden on drums and keys, The Voice finalist Ava on lead vocals, former Brewok bassist Ilham Suhada, Faizar Fasya on guitar, and Sumatran saxophonist Caam, SCK has been knocking venues dead for months, hard at work workshopping their new original material in front of stunned live audiences everywhere. Combining expert stagecraft with a long musical pedigree as touring and session pros, SCK is reminding the industry that skill and heart mean everything in funk music, and they are proving it out night after packed-house night. SCK is a real treat to catch live if you are lucky enough to get a seat at one of their shows.
