Slank

Songwriter: Bimbim (Slank)

Kesana sini aku berlari
Cari kesenangan hati
Terpontang panting hidupku ini
Tuk tahan sehari lagi

Untungnya sore mandi hujan
Turunkan temperatur otakku
Untung

Nggak tidur-tidur setiap hari
Pikiran nggak mati-mati
Kekanan kiri nasibku ini
Lucky makin menjauhi

Bunyi petir dan dinginnya hujan
Cairkan mendidihnya darahku
Untung

Kesandung-sandung jalanku ini
Di belakang ketusuk belati
Engos-engosan napas sendiri
Bayar mimpi nggak kebeli

Muka kena hembus angin hujan
Redakan emosi amarahku
Untung

Untung sore-sore mandi hujan
Lupakan uneg-uneg di dadaku
Untung

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.
