Slank is an Indonesian rock band. It was founded in 1983 by some teenagers in an alley street in Jakarta called Gang Potlot. They had played rock music everywhere until they got an opportunity to make an album.
Bimbim created Cikini Stone Complex in early 1980s. This band only performed Rolling Stones song and not from another band. Then, they broke up late 1983 because of boredom.
Accompanied by his colleague Denny and Erwan, Bimbim made Red Devil. For the guitarist Bimbim brought Bongky. In December 1983 they changed their band name became Slank because they looked selengean.
Formed in Jakarta in 1983, Slank—the group's initial lineup was Kaka (vocals), Pay (guitars), Bongky Marcel (bass), Indra Qadarsih (keyboards), and Bimbim (drums) -- would play their trade for a number of years before finally landing a deal and releasing their first album, Suit suit...hehehe, in 1990. From there, more albums, most of them commercially successful, followed, but Slank was plagued by a number of defections, some involving personal issues, others having to do with internal tensions based around creative decisions. The negativity was overcome, and over the next 20 years, Slank was able to increase their profile, touring the world and maintaining a high commercial value. In 2007, Slank released album number 20, Slow But Sure.
Saat kuberlindung dalam pelukan Mira
Langsung kukenang Disa
Hampir kutenggelam aneh senyum tawanya
Juga kukenal ... hai Corrine
Baru terpesona liar sinar matanya
Tambah kukenal Petty
Lagi kuterbuai dalam kisah khayalnya
Aku tak sadarkan diri
Aku dibawa terbang
Ke alam mereka
Aku dibawa rebah
Di rumput hijau
Dalam imaji... 5 dimensi
Kucumbu.... joy...!
