All-female, Indonesian metal trio Voice of Baceprot will be kicking off their inaugural Australian headline tour as of next week.
This young hijab-wearing, all-female band recently made history as the first Indonesian band to ever play Glastonbury, and received lavish praise from iconic rock musicians including Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), and Slash who invited them to attend Guns N’ Roses show in Jakarta and met with them backstage.
Metal Hammer describe VoB as “the Metal Band the World Needs Right Now”, and they have garnered further attention from The Guardian, New York Times, NPR, and BBC.
“You better be careful, whoever is playing after them better be on their A game that day. I wouldn’t wanna play after them.” - Tom Morello.
Consisting of Marsya (vocals and guitar), Widi (bass), and Siti (drums), the trio first met when they were Islamic Junior High School students in their hometown of Singajaya, a small village two hours’ drive away from the city of Garut, West Java. The name was chosen to represent the type of music they play (Baceprot comes from the girls’ Sundanese language and means NOISY - it is pronounced Bah-Che-Prot)), and this ground-breaking Indonesian trio is taking their energetic live show to all corners of the world.
PRAISE FOR VOICE OF BACEPROT:
"So down with Voice of Baceprot". - Flea
“VoB has entered the spotlight for breaking the mould of a typical metal band” - NPR
“Voice of Baceprot are one of metals biggest Buzz Bands” - THE GUARDIAN
“VoB are phenomenal & do metal right ” - KERRANG
“These three girls do not look like a heavy metal band, but a dramatic change takes place when they take the stage.” - NEW YORK TIMES
“One of the greatest moments in rock and roll history. Seeing them play, and seeing the authenticity in which they tackled Rage Against The Machine’s songs were really impressive to me. It really is a testament to the unifying power of rock and roll, that gender, religion, national boundaries can’t stand in the way of it,” - Tom Morello
