Let me share a little story on this #throwbackthursday.
Yes, we were formed in 2014 (whoaaa its been 2 years)
And there was a little fun fact that I created this band
based on jealousy over my friend (hella sure it was).
So it took long enough for me to be in a band again since
the last time in 2012 when I and my middle-school mates formed an acoustic
band. I surely remember that the first event we attended was BEEVOLUTION 2014
where we didn’t reach anything. At all. As a founder, I was all alone. There
was a moment of me being clueless, and helpless, because I didn’t know who to
ask until that one time I saw @vitogun ‘s instagram video of him playing his
guitar. And I was like “oh I need someone better than me obviously” and that’s
where I decided to take Vito in, with only “ah gapapalah paling cuma jadi band
musiman, abis beevol bubar” state of mind. And today we’re here, ready to make
our movie clip of our newest cover.
And this photo? Well, this is the highlight of our biggest
performance so far (in my opinion), where we performed in front of 2000 people,
it was an amazing feeling (that was the first time I take the lead-vocalist
role). Oh and the name? It’s a simple story. I was inspired by Ansel Egort’s
quote. (The fault in our stars). End of story.
And what I just realized is that I’ve learned a lot.
Literally a lot. Gimana pusingnya nyari anggota yang konsisten dan cocok sampe
harus gonta-ganti mulu. Atau ngerasain senengnya pertama kali rekaman, atau
pegel bolak-balik minjem bass, bayar studio yang mahal, sampe marah-marah
sendiri gara-gara latian ngaret, cuma demi sekotak nasi sehabis perform. Atau
bahkan ngatasin minder karena takut kebanting sama band lain yang lagi perform.
Well, if everyone has their own masterpiece, this is mine. Forever Within Days!
Btw, we’re new on instagram. Go give us a follow! J @fwd_band
