Through the creation of his own song titled Ilusi, and free song titled Musisi God Bless, music group that eventually formed the forerunner of the school band in junior high I Kediri was crowned as the best rock group of participants 500s Djarum Super Rock Festival IX, after successfully setting aside nine rivals in the grand final, which was held Tambaksari Stadium - Surat, August 25, 2001.
Appearance Purple 5 which then changed its name so U9 as the first winner in the festival as well as the opportunity and the chance to go into the recording path. "That's what we've been waiting," I Ferdinand, dramer U9. What a dream at the same time obsession rock group from Kediri reinforced Henderson (vocals), Tyo (guitar 1), Sunu (guitar 2), Iwan (bass), Nanda (keyboards), and Ferdinand (drums), finally became reality with the release of their debut album titled The Champion Of "All Indonesian Rock Festival IX (2001), which was released in June 2004.
They also still remember when the song Illusions was criticized by one of the jury at the festival, many influenced by the color of Dream Theater. They did not dismiss that Dream Theater a lot to give effect to the U9. Because all personnel U9 is a great admirer of the group. "On stage we are most often brought their songs. Incidentally our music is more into progressive rock," said Hendra. "As it happens we all like progressive rock, so rock that we play him more to it, to progressive rock" added Ferdinand, who was selected as the best dram penggebuk Djarum Super Rock Festival IX.
Problem music concept album itself, according to Henderson, is more into progressive rock. But progressive rocknya not as complicated as their idol group, Dream Theater. Admittedly, to play progressive rock relatively high difficulty level, but in fact it is so challenging U9 personnel. "As it happens now not many bands that go there, just wanted to U9 direction of prog rock," said Ferdinand added.
Purple initially Name (only). And that's the name they went on to become champions Se-Indonesian Rock Festival IX in 2001 and in Jakarta. This successful band from Kediri became the first champion. In a way then, they 'hit' over the same band name with the band from Jakarta, which brings the pop rock. Finally they mengbah (temporarily) to Purple Five. Emerald had become the opening concert in Malang, the band name and then like a dimmer.
Suddenly, their name was mentioned again when a few days ago, on Tuesday (06/08/2004) at the HardRock Cafe Jakarta, a group of young men appeared in a press conference with Logs Zhelebour. Apparently they released an album and brings a new name U9. Here's the reason Logs, "Change this name to avoid similarities with the band of the same name. While the number nine because they are the winner festivakl 9. Hopefully it could bring hockey," said Log joke.
Seeing the level of the band trip, in fact hardly a new band. U9 form 11 September 1997 in Surabaya, East Java. Personnel initially Ferdinand Iskandar (dramer), Nanda Iskandar (keyboards), DaniIwan Prast (base), and Hendra Darmawan (vocals). For local class of East Java, who is not familiar with the band in Kediri berhomebase this. Some small festivals that they follow, giving many the best title to the band and its personnel. Until finally champion at rock festivals.
In the journey, Purple Five must give Daniel (guitarist) who came out for personal reasons and recruit Tyo as new guitarist. U9 choose progressive rock as a stream which they profess to ertimbangan famous rock art to the level of difficulty and they were very proud if I can play hard with a good composition tetai not every concert they play it because not all like this now.
U9 is not going to show progressive njilmet the album later, they make existing pregresi unusr sweet and harmony. With a shorter duration. About the influence of music, Purple Five confess actually inspired by personnel only. to them their music is music education.
For this new album, they gave the title U9 1st Album Of The Champion "All Indonesian Rock Festival IX" which rely hits False Me. Now they membered Henderson (vocals), Tyo (guitar), Sunu (guitar), Iwan (bass), Nanda (keyboards), and Ferdinand (drums).
To the band, log even had time to throw a compliment, "They've got musical maturity."
For video clips, U9 even have to make two clips One I'm done by Jose Purnomo and Still in Love who tilled Firlan. For this album, worked at Studio 301 masteringnya Australia.
BAND from Kediri is now ready to "fight" left in the Indonesian music scene. Especially now that they've strengthened the new ammunition such as John Paul Ivan, a former guitarist who joined Boomerang line-ups such as Ferdinand [drums], Henderson [vocals] Sunu Kidal [guitar], Nanda [kibord], and other new personnel, Eenk [ bass].
Ivan as a new member, has been involved in the cultivation of new album produced by the Log U9 Zhelebour, beginning December 2005. Recordingnya process carried out at Studio Logiss Jakarta, and plans his album have been circulating in the country music market in early March 2006.
U9 himself eventually also have to lose Blue [bass] who resigned. Iwan is the personnel who participated brought U9 [still named Purple - ed] as a log version of Rock Festival winner Zhelebour to-IX, 2001 ago. Previous personnel who have resigned are Tyo [guitarist] who was replaced by Ivan.
A little about the new album, which dkontak TEMBANG.com Henderson explains, there are about 38 songs on offer. "But finally selected the best 12 songs to fill out our new album," slanted eyes bright guy was calm.
Ivan himself admitted, although more senior in the appeal U9 other personnel, but as the new personnel rules of the game itself will follow the already agreed upon by majamen Log Zhelebour as a producer. "Well, I must follow their rules. Especially my new personnel," he explained on one occasion.
U9 seems ready to become the new magma rock Indonesia. A fresh new personnel, is expected to take the band this Kediri to higher ground again.
