1)Jonsu (vocals, violin), Heini (bass), Sirkku (keyboards), Jenny (guitar) and Laura (drums) founded Indica in 2001. Before this the girls had already spent their entire childhood surrounded by classical music and had also played in a few different band line-ups. In the Christmas of 2002 Indica signed a management contract with Peter Kokljuschin and in 2003 a record deal with SonyMusic, leading to Indica starting work on their debut album.
The album was co-produced by Gabi Hakanen and Erno Laitinen, and from here began the journey of Indica and Erno together which took them through three albums. The 30,000 platinum-selling debut album Ikuinen virta was released in 2004, and from this album the title track as well as the song Scarlett were released as singles. Indica's second record Tuuliset tienoot was released in the autumn of 2005 and went on to sell over 20,000 discs, the third album Kadonnut puutarha was released in spring 2007 and their fourth, Valoissa, in fall 2008.
Indica's music and lyrics are written by the band's charismatic singer Jonsu, who started her composer's career even before she went to school, writing little 'symphonies' two bars long. Jonsu has explained that to her the biggest inspirational source for writing music is the music from movies. The lyrics stem from her own life, the lives of her friends, and also from dreams.
Indica, known for their playful and lively stage presence and their distinctive music, went travelling outside Finland near the close of 2007 when they performed as the support act for Nightwish during their Scandinavian tour. Indica were well received in the other Nordic countries. A tight collaboration between Indica and Nightwish frontman Tuomas Holopainen started on this tour, aimed at creating the next album. Tuomas is the producer of the fourth Indica longplayer, released autumn 2008 and titled Valoissa.
Holopainen was also involved in mixing the band’s new album "A Way Away" which is a compilation of Indica’s best songs, re-recorded in English for the international market. The recordings were co-produced by Roland Spremberg (A-ha and Him, among others) and mixed by Mark Schettler (Simply Red, Bullet for my Valentine, just to mention a few).
"I had butterflies in my tummy when I first sang the English lyrics", Jonsu remembers and listeners will as well when they hear "A Way Away", an album filled with lush soundscapes and rich emotion. "Alongside nature, film soundtracks have the biggest influence on me", says the songwriter.
The album "A Way Away" is due in June 2010 in Europe and the first output "In Passing" is released in late March.

Indica is a rock/electronic/psychedelic band from Argentina.
The band has released one album:
LIEBE (2006, WTKL Records)
Line-up:
Ruben Farzati (vocals, guitar, laptop, electronics)
David Vera (vocals, bass, laptop, electronics)
Gaston del Popolo (drums)
Indica is a music band of psychedelic electronic rock of Argentina, formed in Buenos Aires in 2002. The group is compound for Rubén Farzati (Vocals, Guitar, Laptop), David Vera (Vocals, Bass, Laptop) and Gastón Del Popolo that he united to the band at the end of 2006 to finish assembling the rhythmic part. The band is named Indica, like a counterculture art gallery in Mason's Yard (off Duke Street), Mayfair, London, England during the late 1960s. Besides Indica is a typical kind of flower from the Southeast Asia, very rich in cannabinolis and great psicoactivity. So this name results very appropriate for this eclectic and experimental band.
From the beginning, Indica has been related with bands, like The Beatles, The Chemical Brothers and Blur. The first singles were Volador, Flor Rota, Liebe and Carrousel composed during the first years of the band stop then to sum up their premiere album titled "Liebe"
The name of the album represents the word "love" in the German language, defining this way an album with cynic, surrealist lyrics and a sound that it oscillates among the psychedelic, the electronic and the rock.

Slow, heavy, and spiritual music. An interpretation of the classic sounds. Smoke shall rise, the Earth will tremble, and the sonic forces of the highest order bear upon all as Indica unleash their debut album Stone Future Hymns in 2016. Experimental psychedelic sludge stoner doom.

Indica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sä et, sä et tiedä niistä
Älä, älä paljasta
Pidä, pidä, pidä hyvänäsi
Kukaan edes ei tahdo tietää
Älä, älä paljasta
Ne on, ne on, ne on taas niitä joista ei voi puhua ääneen
Ne on, ne on taas niitä
Ja valheet vain katoaa
Ne hankeen haudataan
Ja valheet vain katoaa
Paha siipeensä ei saa
Se ei, se ei, se ei kuulu sulle
Se on, se on eri maailma
Minun, minun takana seisovat
Etkö tajua
Miten, miten maailma kulkee
Kaikki repii omia lankojaan
Ne on, ne on niin sekaisin
Ja valheet vain katoaa
Ne hankeen haudataan
Ja valheet vain katoaa
Paha siipeensä ei saa
Ja valheet vain katoaa
Ne hankeen haudataan
Ja valheet vain katoaa
Paha siipeensä ei saa
In Indica's song "Elä," the singer pleads with someone to keep quiet and not reveal secrets. The opening lines are repeating the phrase "don't explain," "you don't know about them," and "don't reveal." The singer emphasizes that no one wants to know, and these are things that cannot be spoken aloud. This could imply that the secrets are damaging, revealing, or embarrassing.
As the song continues, the chorus repeats "and the lies disappear, buried in the snow" and "you can't get away with a bad wing." This could symbolize the idea that the truth will come out eventually, and lies will not last forever. The song dives into personal relationships by shouting "it's none of your business, it's a different world," this could mean that the secrets that need to be kept are nobody's business and are better left private. The repetition of the phrase, "the world is walking," shows that everyone is going about their life without knowing the secrets, and people are tearing their own strings. In this context, it means that people have their own problems to handle and might not want to deal with yours.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about keeping secrets and being careful about whom you confide in. It portrays the concept of protecting oneself from others' judgments, misunderstandings, and betrayals. The song's lyrics suggest that it is better not to reveal certain information, but it is not as simple as keeping it a secret forever because the truth will eventually come out.
