Brace yourself for The Jansen’s sonic assault as they bring their raw punk energy and anthemic melodies to the Baybeats stage for the first time.
Ticket-holders are advised to arrive at the venue early, as unutilised tickets may be offered to walk-in patrons, on a first-come, first-served basis once the performance has started. This will enable as many people as possible to join us for this free performance.
Ticket-holders who leave the venue during the performance will have to join the queue for walk-in patrons in order to re-enter the venue.
If you are unable to join us, you may pass the e-ticket to someone else or return your tickets via the link on your SISTIC confirmation email.
The Jansen
Emerging from the city of Bogor in Indonesia, punk band The Jansen’s fervent following can be attributed to the band’s raw energy, wry humour and anthemic melodies. Comprising brothers Cintarama Bani Satria (guitar, vocals) and Adji Pamungkas (bass) alongside drummer Aduy, the band cites ‘70s punk bands like Talking Heads, The Undertones, Ramones, The Buzzcocks as key influences, as well as music by label Sarah Records and compilation albums Killed by Death and C86.
In 2020, The Jansen teamed up with Grimace Records from Texas, USA, to begin publishing works on digital platforms, such as the album Say Say Say. In April 2022, the band released their third full-length album, Banal Makin Binal on tape format, followed by a mini tour to Jakarta. A few months later, they teamed up with Demajors Records to release a CD and promote their third album on digital platforms. The Jansen's line-up was completed with the inclusion of Karina Restiani, filling in on guitar and vocals.
In 2023, The Jansen released their latest work, a maxi single titled Observasi Sinting, available only via Bandcamp. Then, they released a split album with two other indie pop bands from Sarah Records, Loon from Semarang and The Caroline’s from Surabaya. Titled Flowery Melancholia, this album has been released in digital and cassette formats.
