Biography

The Cloves And The Tobacco formed in 2006 in Yogyakarta and being inspired after hearing Flogging Molly a group of friends decided to get a band together. Yogyakarta is renowned for education and is a centre for Indonesian culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music and poetry. Taking their name from a kind of cigarette The Cloves And The Tobacco have been major players on the international celtic punk scene now for a good few years despite purely existing on word of mouth and good reviews on the internet. The Cloves And The Tobacco are Adit Tongseng (Accoustic Guitar and Vocal), Pizzt (Fiddle and Backing Vocal), Abiyoga Fazri (Electric Guitar and Backing Vocal), Koro (Drum), Kojack Blues (Banjo), Fani Black (Tin Whistle), Kahfi (Electric Bass), and Emil ( Accordion) and they steer a path very similar to celtic-punk legends Flogging Molly. Pumped up, raucous, fast, energetic, traditional Irish music interspersed with the occasional ballad.
