from Samarinda Javanese village at the 2000 with the line-up is: Mambox
(Vocalis), Hans (Drums), Eka (Bassis) and Ujang (Gitaris) and this lasted until
2003. The change of lineup is due to work problems. And line up until now is
Bowo (Bassis), Eko (Gitaris), Tavo (Gitaris), Mambox (Vocalis) and Faras
(Drums) until 2011 and in the middle of 2011 Faras focus for Engorging as
