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. 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".
