Tika & the Dissidents is an Indonesian band whose music includes elements from jazz, blues, tango, waltz to punk.

She then recruited Luky Annash (piano), Susan Agiwitanto (bass), Okky Rahman Oktavian (drums), and Panji Gustiano (guitar) to be her backup band.

In 2009, they first declared themselves as Tika and the Dissidents in the original soundtrack album of Joko Anwar’s film Pintu Terlarang.

Much to the band's surprise, the Headless Songstress received numerous praises from music fans and the media, both national and international.

[citation needed] Tika and the Dissidents is said to be a breath of fresh air in the country's homogenous music industry.
