White Shoes & The Couples Company (WSATCC)
インドネシア・ジャカルタ出身の6人組バンド。70年代インドネシア映画のサウンドトラックや1930年代のクラシックジャズに影響を受け、古き良きストリングスアレンジにレトロなシンセディスコサウンドをフューチャー、さらには50年代から70年代のインドネシアポップス黄金期の楽曲への敬意と圧倒的な知識量を携えており、インドネシアローカルに根ざしつつもユニークで洗練された唯一無二の存在感を放つバンドとなっている。

White Shoes & The Couples Company (WSATCC) Äb0is an Indonesian Pop Sextet from Jakarta who perform Indonesiana (Indonesian Pop music). The band was formed in 2002 during their college years at the campus of the Jakarta Arts Institute. Their music is greatly inspired by old Indonesia films soundtracks from the 70s and the acoustic spirit of Jazz musicians from the 30s – along with absorbing the rhythmical influence of retro disco as well as classical music arrangements, paying homage to the golden age of Indonesian Pop music during the 50s and the 70s, and particularly deriving inspiration from works by notable names in the history of Indonesian music, such as: Ismail Marzuki, Guruh Sukarno Putra, Fariz RM, and Jack Lesmana.
The band incorporates elements of these influences and their knowledge of Indonesian Pop music as well as films from the past, together with their own life experiences of living in the city of Jakarta today – to create their unique, sophisticated, and charming music character. All of this have given the music of WSATCC a strong local identity, relevancy, and made them stand out in the midst of the global music scene.
