Last Kiss From Avelin Biography






Awal berdirinya LAST KISS FROM AVELIN pada tanggal 9 desember  2009, band projectkan wiel, anjjar, dan riffal yg awalnya bernama SCARED OF MOM ini beranggotakan hanya 3 orang dengan formasi sebagai berikut :
Wiell - guitar and back vocal, anjjar - bass and vocal, dan riffal - drum, sehingga membentuk suatu band yang mengambil jalur screamo/post hardcore sebagai kiblat nya. Dalam perjalanannya LAST KISS FROM AVELIN banyak ter-influence band luar seperti SAOSIN dan sering membawa kan lagu-lagu mereka, selain itu LAST KISS FROM AVELIN  juga membawa kan lagu-lagu karya LAST KISS FROM AVELIN sendiri.

            Sekitar pertengahan desember LAST KISS FROM AVELIN memutuskan menambah 2  personil untuk mengisi posisi vocal dan gitar, agar wiell dan anjjar dapat fokus untuk bagianya masing masing, lalu anjjar mencarinya lewat situs jejaring sosial FRIENDSTER, hingga akhirnya posisi  vocal di isi oleh ichall dan posisi gitar di isi oleh arie. Di tengah berjalannya LAST KISS FROM AVELIN, riffal (drumer) tiba-tiba memutuskan untuk hengkang dari band dikarena kan sibuk dengan pekerjaannya di luar kota. Line-up berubah kembali, Untuk mengisi kekurangan di posisi Drum akhirnya gege yg tidak lain adalah paman dari riffal, di ajak oleh anjjar untuk bergabung mengisi posisi Drum. Akhirnya setelah beberapa kali bergonta-ganti formasi, ini lah formasi LAST KISS FROM AVELIN : ichall – vocal, wiel – guitar, arie – guitar,  anjjar – bass, dan gege – drum.
LAST KISS FROM AVELIN sering sekali mengisi acara acara di bandung, Selama Berjalan kurang dari satu tahun dalam bermusik , akhirnya LAST KISS FROM AVELIN menambah personel di vocal, LAST KISS FROM AVELIN sendiri merekrut ijhrael aswidin noor sebagai vocalis, yg tidak lain adalah teman kampus ichall. Dengan kreativitas yang tak terbatas LAST KISS FROM AVELIN berusaha untuk terus berkarya dari lagu mereka yang diantarnya : 1. Sesak dalam gelap 2. Untold unswer, but you keep asking ! 3. 31th december (incident in last night) yang di rilis pada pertengahan tahun 2010. Yang alhamdulillah lagu lagunya dapat diterima oleh publik, Hal itu terbukti dengan beberapa lagu yang sering ikut dinyanyikan oleh penonton seperti hits “sesak dalam gelap”.

           Setelah berjalan satu tahun lebih, LAST KISS FROM AVELIN untuk kesekian kalinya kehilangan personelnya, yg kali ini arie (guitar) yg memutuskan untuk lebih giat bekerja dan ijhrael aswidin noor (vocal – clean) hengkang karna lebih memilih solo projectnya.  Seiring berjalanya waktu dan proses audisi untuk mengisi vocal, alhamdulillah LAST KISS FROM AVELIN menemukan sosok irman dan kumank yg menurut kita cukup untuk mengisi karakter vocal dan guitar di LAST KISS FROM AVELIN, dan dengan segera merilis 3 lagu baru yg berjudul  4. Sleepy town 5. When my wing was broken because of you dan yg terakhir berjudul 6. Avelin.
           Pada single terbaru ini LAST KISS FROM AVELIN terlihat lebih beda dalam segi musikalitas dan materi lagunya. LAST KISS FROM AVELIN berharap dengan terus berjalannya band ini dapat membawa angin segar dalam perubahan musik di Indonesia yang terus berkembang. Adapun visi dan misi LAST KISS FROM AVELIN sendiri adalah menjadikan musik sebagai suatu warna kehidupan yang mampu berperan sebagai pelengkap kebutuhan hidup manusia, menampilkan musik yang bisa diterima oleh semua kalangan serta mampu menghibur, khususnya kalangan muda yang banyak mengalami dinamika perkembangan zaman dan menampilkan performa terbaik bagi para pendengar LAST KISS FROM AVELIN baik dalam live, stages, maupun dalam karya musik (materi lagu) yang LAST KISS FROM AVELIN hasilkan.
