The band was formed in 1991 and its members were Brchioski Ivica - solo guitar, Milosheska Ruzica - vocals, Petreski Chede - bass guitar, Brchioski Goran - keyboard and Milosheski Dushko - Drums. In 1992 they competed at the Skopje Pop-Rock Fest and won the first prize as well as the opportunity to record their first album. The album called "Accidentally Here" was produced by the music and cassette production of the Macedonian National TV and Radio Station and was declared as The Best Debut Album of the Year. Then the band toured the country widely until 1994 when they made a longer break.In 1999 they made a comeback by signing a contract for Avalon Production. In the meantime Dushko left the band, and Mateski Dragan – Gage took his place as a drummer. Right after that Anteski Vlade joined the band as a rhythm guitarist. The following year they released the album "Doors of Imagination" and achieved incredible success unknown to Macedonia until then. The song "All Of My Images" became a mega hit and the band enjoyed amazing popularity. It all culminated with a concert at the Skopje Fair where many of the fans didn’t even make it inside because of the overwhelming crowds. Area played one more concert at the Universal Hall a week after the first one, just for those fans.In the period from 2000 to 2003 the band had over 80 concerts in Macedonia, ex - Yu countries, and Bulgaria. In 2001 they released the live album "I Can Still Sing" recorded at the concert at the Universal Hall. The following year they released the album "Something is missing" which was recorded during the war crises in Macedonia. As a result the album has a bit darker overtones than the previous ones. However, that did not lessen the popularity of Area and they again had a successful concert at the Skopje Fair on October 23, 2002.In 2005 they released the album "Close To You" for the production brand PGP-RTS in Serbian language, which was a successful attempt for a breakthrough in the ex-Yugoslav countries. In November 2008 the band released its sixth album “All I Want Is You” for the Macedonian market, and is currently working on its concert promotion.
