The band is Marcel Thee (vocals, guitars, various instruments) and was formed in 2001, with a rotating cast of members for both live and studio purposes.

Name origin

This has been discredited by Marcel Thee. [1].

Discography

The band has released two albums, along with numerous compilations, most notably the best selling JKT:SKRG (Jakarta Now!) compilation, and had a major radio hit when their single "Less Afraid" appeared on the motion picture Joni's Promise, in which the song could be heard almost in its entirety two times during the movie [2].

New album and future plans

In 2006, Sajama Cut also contributed 4 songs to another motion picture Photo, Box, Window.

In June 2007, L'Internationale; remix album version of the songs from The Osaka Journals with remixes from international producers from Japan, US, UK, Indonesia, Norway, Italy, Scotland, Portugal, Germany, Venezuella and Hong Kong will be released. The first single being a remix of Nemesis/Murder from the international 8-bit artist YMCK, from Tokyo, Japan.
