Gigi

 
Gigi Band officially formed on March 22, 1994. At the beginning of this Band consists of Armand Maulana (vocalist), Thomas Ramdhan (bassist), Dewa Budjana (guitar), Ronald Fristianto (drummer), and Baron Arafat (guitarist). The name "Gigi" itself came after a hearty laugh personnel to comment on the name of "Orang Utan" which almost made the name of this band. With background music disparate, they combine into a single music that characterizes the teeth. Debut album is entitled "The dream is" thrown into the market with the support of the Union Artist / Musica.

At that time, Gigi has not formed a management company to manage their activities so as to promote the debut album, they released two singles as well as video clips, that I Want and Angan. But both songs are not much reliable boost sales. Lack of promotion and lack of management arrangements to be the main cause of the failure of the first album of this musical group.

Eventually they formed the Dental Management so that they become more professional. The second album "The World" was a success in the market. By relying seed song "Promise", which sold about 400,000 copies and won the award for "Best Music Group". At this time management of Dental cracks with the Baron. The second flagship video for "Nirvana" was made in the absence of Baron. On September 1995, Baron officially out of the Dental Group Band. Then followed the release of Thomas and Ronald that in November 1996. Gigi Band finally were alone but just keep trying to survive and recruit OPET Alatas (bass) and drummer Hary Budhy).

This new formation gives new color to the teeth. In 1997 they released their fourth album on the theme of 2x2 to hold a number of famous musicians, local and world, Among others, Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big) who contributed a great bass to play their song (Cry Baby), and Indra also contributed to the the song "Tractor". Flagship song "miss" was less response from the community. This situation helped with the tour of 100 cities duet featuring Indra and Gilang Ramadhan as its opener.

Meanwhile, Thomas had just come out of rehab to return to Jakarta to start playing music again. Thomas even made a surprise guest star at a concert GIGI "One Hour With Teeth" and Gigi concert in London, playing with the song "Promise" and "The dream". In concert with Thomas Gigi felt nostalgic, even those that rarely bring a song that is played desire. On March 22, 1999 Thomas eventually go back into the music Dental Group. Shortly after the sixth album released Gigi, entitled "Good" in April 1999. His first flagship song "Hinakah".

This is how DENTAL say hello to the world by throwing his latest album, Hail the Eighth. Year 2003 means the ninth year for this band called simple. But you know why the title Hail Eight? "Yes, because this is the album to-8, and by chance the recording process and the creation in 2002 was over yesterday fitting Tooth still 8 years old," Armand said the vocalist who often write the lyrics to TEETH. For three weeks in the studio DENTAL ngendon album following their brewing material mixing process. Actually a lot of material created outside the studio, such as lyrical inspiration comes when suddenly exposed to traffic or inspirational song when in the middle of the tour. The result is even ten songs fill this album.

In terms of musical GIGI feel Salam Eighth reflection of those conditions are relaxed the rest for 6 months which was very helpful in loosening the pressure. Once relaxed, positive ideas that could go down from nowhere. Additionally DENTAL first time this opportunity to collaborate with the sound engineer Stephan Santoso. "The game off the four of us met with new ideas feel fresh Stephan made a lot of material contained in our latest album. In terms of technique, this album does look a lot DENTAL music experience new things, one of which is collaboration with Stephan TEETH. One thing that stands out here the appearance of rows of the lyrics are more straightforward and positive and singing that is not too much improvisation, "says Armand complete.

As a result the album is filled with colorful DENTAL which might be a bit surprising, but it's certainly refreshing. Consider just the opening song of this album titled Only Accept. Beating drums from scratch really fun song to cover, plus a shout nanananana, nanananana ... Hoy, Hoy ... make a surprise but rather exciting. Imagine that this song brought it directly by GIGI. "Sometimes in writing songs, we thought about how this song will be sung immediately later. Given our stage act like it could actually play out in front of the audience of the song with all its attractions and GIGI improvisation. Not to mention we could sing like this more

interact with the audience there. It's interesting and makes us more excited, "said Armand again.

The second song GIGI drove slowly in the Subject of Love. Theme, especially if it is not love. The song lyrics via sms simmering between Armand and Thomas are so many excellent songs heard on radio stations homeland. And has also dominated the charts a lot us. For music videos, Dimas Djayadingrat-footage to prepare a concept of travel documentation GIGI in Jakarta-Bandung with her music models, Nirina. For others there is a soft song Falling You. From the title once again been able to guess what the theme. And again for the lyrics is the result of Armand-Thomas rembukan duet.

DENTAL More often playing a medium tempo and faster as I looked Yang You Want, Greetings, Woman, You People, uncertainty, and the End of Secret Story. They are also a lot of play in the rhythm and lyrics of the song is over speak frankly. As the unique composition titled Secret manly pride which tells of a man on his manhood.

Overall this album GIGI go with being a smart tempo. Whether it's the sound of drums, acoustic and distorted guitar or bass sound that when combined are fresh in the ears. Maximize the energy of this four companions in a cast album. DENTAL break period is over since the release of the album The Best of GIGI. Now they are back with a relaxed attitude to positive fruition. We welcome this course through the Salam greeting DENTAL Eighth.

In 2004, GIGI back 'haunted' by the trauma 'Removable' personnel. In the cultivation of the album Original Sound Track (OST) Haryono Budhy Brownies for one reason or another can not actively participate in the recording studio. Because of this album should be completed along with the release of the film will Beownies, the reference of personnel GIGI Budhy and other agreements as an additional player dilibatkanlah Hendy replace Budhy Haryono. Brownies OST album (which includes the most anticipated albums of 2004 32 TH O magazine. XXVIII) was mixed with a dose of 5 new songs, 3 songs and 2 re-arrangements of songs picked from the previous albums TEETH.

The result, a pop of sweet, delicious taste as sweet as Brownies.
Recipe sweet pop album with lyrics that are sprinkled with this easy listening, present as a movie soundtrack album of the same name, BROWNIES. Romantic comedy filmed director Hanung this Bramantyo starring Marcella Zallianty, Phillip, VJ Arie MTV and Bucek. The plot itself tells the story of a cosmopolitan girl who is looking for the meaning of a true love.

DENTAL given full trust by SinemArt, a production house that worked on these films, to make its soundtrack. This is what makes DENTAL DENTAL although not lose color must still adhere to the Brownies screenplay. The process of making new songs on this album is quite simple. While imagining the scene per scene will appear, GIGI sit together while playing a guitar workshop held a 'hollow' and created five new songs fresh. The presence of Hendy who replaced Budhy dialbum this very important role. Hendy given the freedom to play according to his style and is always consulted in arranging a song. Additional drummer who has the full name of Gusti Erhandy this, having worked together with Erwin Gutawa Orchestra for concerts Tim Christensen and Kris Kristofferson.

Finally, in the year 2009 to be exact in the 15nya birthday, released a new single skaligus DENTAL book launch of his biography. This self titled album is the album that all 11 regular TEETH, from all 18 albums. Kinda weird actually because self title is generally used on the first album. Another seven of the album live in concert, the best of, original sound track, and four religious album. (More can be seen in www.gigionline.com) This album consists of 9 songs medium beat, with lyrics that most of the theme of love. But not especially love the melancholy moaning.

The first single "Yes .. yes .. yes .." the lyrics tell about a young man who can not wait for a declaration of love sweetheart. This cheerful melodies and a unique song.
There is also the title track "My Facebook," a story about a person's encounter with his old girlfriend on facebook networking. Because of fear of getting caught with a girlfriend now, they communicate through the inbox of personal nature are not wall that everyone can know.

All the elements of sounds filled by GIGI, except for the song "Love Restu". On this song Addie MS wrote the orchestration for english horn and string section. As on previous albums, Armand, Budjana, Thomas, and Hendy donated the song, then arranged together. Especially for the lyrics Armand write more than others. Soft Launching GIGI this album feels very special because it is done in conjunction with the launch of a biography of 15-year-GIGI, on March 31, 2009 in Jakarta Theatre Ball Room XXI. Even the art work and its themes are created equal. So the album cover to cover DENTAL biography will be the same tooth.
