OK Karaoke

Formed in Semarang, Central Java, Garna (AK47) and Baskoro (Suck Eat Fruit) were the ones to start OK Karaoke in the year of 2005. They intended to channel their loves to indie-pop music as they have joined in both hardcore/punk bands. Garna and Baskoro recruited Galih, a radio announcer, considering his vocal character and the same interest in music. With Kartun (Vmono) as a drummer, the band had completely formed. But it wasn’t too long until Kartun decided to resign as he was too busy with his job at the radio station. To replace him, Aga joined the band. Aga previously linked to the bands Numb (who has already existed since 1996), and Velvet Tongue. He joined the last name during his study in Jakarta. The gang agreed to form an indie-pop band (which was still so rare that day) and to begin a long and winding journey to introduce themselves to public. Their very first performances were fully supported by New Order and Stone Roses as they covered both legendary bands’ most memorable singles. Bemby (Terror Incognita) once joined the band as a keyboardist, but soon he left the band for his study. Bayu (Le Bench) replaced for Bembi in 2006, but for some reasons he also left OK Karaoke. The band admitted that Bayu has put some new colours to their own paintings, though. With Stars, The Stone Roses, James, and Ride’s taste of indie-pop, OK Karaoke had composed 6 songs. In July 2007, they recorded few songs for the demo CD, titled “The Royal Ambassador Mistress” and “Milky Way”. In Desember, the band released the EP titled “ Sail Off The Storm
Now with the line-up Galih (vocal), Garna (guitar), Baskoro (guitar), Adiyat (bass), and Aga (drum), OK Karaoke is ready to step to the next level.
