The Changcuters

The Changcuters is an Indonesian rock band known for their theatrical style and high-energy performances, which have captivated audiences since their formation in Bandung, West Java, in 2005. Comprising lead vocalist Muhammad Tria Ramadhani (aka Tria), lead guitarist Mohammad Arlanda Ghazali Langitan (aka Arland), rhythm guitarist Muhammad Iqbal (aka Qibil), bassist Dipa Nandaresta Hasibuan (aka Dipa), and drummer Erick Nindyoastomo (aka Erick), the band has become one of the notable figures in the Indonesian music scene.
