Slank

Songwriter: Bimbim (Slank)

Walau kutau, tentang kisahmu
Waktu yang lewat, atau engkau kini
Jangan hindari aku, dan jangan kau malu
Kalau cintaku ini, dari hati yang suci

Aku tak peduli, apa kata mereka
Ceritakan segala, caci maki
Buah bibirkan kamu sebagai bunga ranjang
Atau memang kamu cukup liar

Kupu-kupu liarku, terbanglah kepadaku
Hinggaplah dihatiku, hisap sari cintaku
Biar indah tubuhmu, dijamah-dijamah orang-orang
Tapi cinta tulusmu harus jadi milikku

Slank was formed in 1983 through a school band at a local high school in Slank Jakarta, Indonesia, which named CSC (Cikini Stone Complex). Their main founder, Bimo Setiawan (Bimbim) and their fellow bandmates often played a number of Rolling Stones songs at school. The band later changed its name and personnel to SLANK, with Bimbim on drums, Erwan on vocals, Bongky on guitars, Denny on bass and Kiki on guitars. The name SLANK itself was taken from their musical attitude, which was, and is still reckless, ignorant and play with undetailed groove (Slengean in Indonesian).

In the following years, numbers of personnel changes were made, with Pay on guitars, Kaka on vocals and Indra on keyboard, replacing the previous bandmates.

Although they started their journey in the music industry quite roughly, with numerous of rejected demos, SLANK emerged in 1991 with their “The Best Newcomer” award in BASF event. Successes did not always come for SLANK, when three of their personnel, Bongky, Indra and Pay chose to quit the band, and formed their own band (BIP). Following the resignation, Abdee, Ivan and Ridho joined the band, and since then, SLANK has never changed its personnel again.
