Manuk 85 Videoclip
Band's History
Prologue
Ober and Pete were just talking about having a band. It was just definitely for fun. Then Ober told Pete about Manuk(ober's ex called him that) because of Ober's hair which looks like Manuk(Manuk is chicken in Sarawak language). So Ober looks like a Manuk. Then Pete had a suggestion of calling a band by the name of Manuk and he also added the number 85 for no reason. Ober made up the reason for 85 which was 8+5=13 then 1+3=4. So we need 4 band members. Ha-ha! That was damn funny! We really did have 4 band members which never actually got together to jamm. Then it all started to fadeaway for the past 1 year. Then came 2007, Ober revived Manuk 85 back to life because of the reason to play in a gig called Young & Aspire: Episode 1. Ober managed to gather NEW band members. It consists of Ober, Pete, Ajen, Umair and Bob. We jammed almost every week for 2 hrs or 3 hrs to get that chemistry bonding of a band. Then right after the 1st gig of Young & Aspire. Bob as the bassist went off. We then find his nephew Redha to replace as our NEW bassist. And now Manuk 85 consisted of Pete(Vox), Ajen(1st Guitar+Back Vox), Ober(2nd Guitar+Back Vox), Redha(Bassist) and Umair(Drummer). There you go.
Chapter One: The New Challenge
After a few gigs played by Manuk 85 line ups, Ajen now has to go. He had to continue his further studies. He had to leave Manuk 85. So, Manuk 85 has begun their new era of having one guitarist only. Manuk 85 changing again to a whole new level. Making Ober the 1st and only guitarist in Manuk 85. Ober has to get to work on improving his guitar skills especially solo-ing. Manuk 85 also had to change their way of music of becoming 3 piece instrument band. So, wait for their new DEMO out with brand new concept and sound. Well, actually not really. It's still Manuk 85 vibe. Haha. But "Our Flu" sadly will not be played anymore in any gigs until we find our new second guitarist. There's more chapters in the making of Manuk 85.
Chapter Two: The Additional Flavours
Are we going to be the next Ska Punk band? Just like Full Pledge? Just like Plague Of Happiness? Or are we gonna be the next Manuk 85 that will leave the trail for others? We're presenting you Azma as the Trombonist, Ajiq as the Trumpeteer and Ben as our Saxophonist. So we're moving onto the next level of music interest. Hey guys! What about your SPLIT EP? Well, erm, we're working on it but still haven't got the time. Trying to put some new songs for it! Hehe. Just you guys wait!
Chapter Three: Losing the Gemstone
We're losing our precious gemstone of the band. The voice of the band. The life of the band. Pete has left Manuk 85 due to work commitments. Manuk 85 wishes Pete good luck in what he does and for his work commitments. May life cherishes him as well as we all cherishes him. We love you Pete. We have yet to know what will happen next in Manuk 85.
