Slank is formed in 1983. It was started as a junior high school band called Cikini Stone Complex (CSC), Bimbim on drums, Boy on Guitar, Kiki on Guitar, Abi on bass, Uti and Well Welly as the singers. This band used to play the musics of their idols, The Rolling Stones but this band won't last long enough. With his cousins Erwan and Denny, Bimbim - the drummer - began to formed a new band called Red Evil. Kiki which was one of the guitarist of CSC join them. Another guy named Bongky is also played the guitar on this band. While CSC were imitating the Rolling Stones, Red Evil has a better concept besides playing an international band's number, Red Evil begin to composed their own song.
Even though the band is playing world chart rock number, the way they play the song is very interesting as they always did this top chart rock song in their own way, which is reckless, ignorance and with undetailed groove as the original artist play. The supports from friends and some earliest fans called them SLENGEAN which exactly fits of the way they play and performance. Since then Red Evil change the name to SLANK.
Indonesian parents at that time is hoping their children could be an engineer, doctors, accountant, bankers or any job that was known by them. A musician or artist is a jobless one to their thinking. Lucky for Bimbim as his parents is supporting 99% of his will to be a musician. Even they let the boys haveng their practising and rehearsing at their home in Jl. Potlot 14. This place known as SLANK's home base.
As the time goes on, a marriage of the brain, taste, feel, mood etcetera are undeniable. The band start to changing players one after another. Patient has given Bimbim a good luck. At the 13th formation he got the great team to combat the music industry. It was the formation of Bimbim on drums, Bongky on bass, Pay on guitar, Indra on keyboards and Kaka as the lead vocal.
