starting members to form a band named Olive Tree, later on, the other starting
members decided to leave the band and replaced by Iman (Bass) and Teezar (Guitar)
which become the original member of Olive Trees later performances. The very first
public performance of the band was in March 2004, five months after it was formed.
In their first two years of struggle, The unique musical characters of the band rapidly
catch everybody's attention in their every performances. With no other band to compare
in their genre (which is a hybrid from classical pop piano, unique vocal character,
powerful drum beats, catchy bass tunes and rock guitars) the somehow gloomy but
funny band becomes a stand alone benchmark in Bandungs independent music scene.
The rock love song and March of the lonely nights are two olive tree demo tracks
released by the bands for radio play (the second track also appears on the demo
cassette supplied by Ripple Magazine), and become number one indie track on two
separate big radio stations in Bandung from October to November 2004. The next demo
track Miss you used for late night radio program for their background music
