slank Biography |
|
Slank is an Indonesian rock band. It was founded in 1983 by some teenagers in a small street in Jakarta called Gang Potlot. They had played rock music everywhere until they got an opportunity to make an album.
Early years
Slank's first album, Suit suit...hehehe (1991) was an enormous hit. Their subsequent success inspired the formation of other bands, such as Dewa (band).
Slank's first formation are Pay (guitar), Bongky Marcel (bass), Indra Qadarsih (keyboard), Bimbim (drums), and Kaka (vocal). They are known to be the best formation ever.
Their second album, Kampungan (1992) went multi-platinum, with several songs making in into Indonesia's top charts. Slank became the first MTV Indonesia icon in 2005.
Growth
For more than two decades, Slank has managed a healthy attitude towards their music career, which in turn has helped them throughout the years. Slank has also gained somewhat of a cult status in Indonesia, and according to guitarist Ridho, "Slankers" span all ages.
Formation and current activities
Since its inception, Slank's band members have changed frequently. Reasons have ranged from drug use and differing musical styles. The most popular line up of the band has been Kaka (vocals), Bimbim (Drum), Abdee (Guitars), Ivanka (Basses), and Ridho (Guitars).
More recently, Slank has been touring the U.S. and Europe. They have also played in various Asian countries, such as Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and South Korea.
In 2007, Slank released the new album, "Slow But Sure"; the album's first single "Slalu Begitu" is currently receiving heavy rotation on Indonesian radio stations.
Trivia
"Juwita Malam", from the P.L.U.R album, featured in the 2005 film Banyu Biru starring Tora Sudiro. Cast members from the film are seen performing in the song's music video.
