Formed
in March 2003, black-ductape started playing blink-182
covers at a young age of 13. Broke, Iskandar bought
a cheap electric guitar and used his dad's bass amp
to practice. Recruiting members wasn't easy as he wasn't
popular. Here's the story, One day, Trisno broke his
arm and his cast was written with names like "Mark
Hoppus" and "Travis Barker"(members of
blink-182). Iskandar saw it and asked him whether he
would like to jam at his house after he recovered knowing
that Trisno was a blink-182 fan. The natural musical
bond between them made it easy to play songs together.
Not long after that, they played more often together.
They began searching for another member in their high
school to complete the line-up. After a lot of auditioning,
experimenting and performances in school, they were
left with a guy named Noriman. Together, they began
writing their own songs. Their first one was titled
"She's The One" refering to Iskandar's long
time crush. Its about what really happened and what
he hoped would happen. Since then, they have written
a lot of songs which anyone could relate to in their
lives. Now, they are searching for a gig hoping that
someone out there could give them a chance to perform.
