Sajama Cut is an indie rock band from Jakarta, Indonesia known for their dark and poetic lyrics and their pop-based melodies.

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

The band is known to have come up with numerous explanations for their name, among them; the name of an old Japanese children's toy, the name of Thee's father's colleague, a book/movie title, a haircut style, a random word Thee came up with, the result of the band members fooling around with an Ouija Board. This has been discredited by Marcel Thee. [http://jawapos.co.id/index.php?act=detail_c&id=169739] .

New album and future plans

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

On the 20th May 2008, L'Internationale; a 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 was released.
