Gigi Berumur 8 Tahun
by Evita (22-Mar-2002) | Readers Say

Pada tanggal 22 Maret 2002 ini Gigi Ulang tahun yang ke 8, sayangnya di ulang tahun yang ke 8 ini mereka tidak manggung lagi. Yah maklum lah gitarisnya Dewa Budjana sedang pergi ke Amerika. "Saya ingat sekali besok adalah Ulang Tahun Gigi yang ke 8. memang kami terbentuk sebenarnya pada bulan Oktober 1993. tetapi rilis album pertama Gigi yang berjudul Angan dirilis pada 22 Maret 1994. jadi memang umur kami 8 tahun terhitung dari tanggal tersebut," ucap Armand Maulana (lead singer Gigi -Fairy) cowok kelahiran Bandung 4 April 1971.

Gigi hanya vakum selama 3 ½ bulan saja karena Dewa Budjana pergi dibeberapa bulan itu. Gigi bukannya bubar tetapi hanya istirahat beberapa saat. Armand dulu sebelum bergabung dengan Gigi pernah mengeluarkan album solo yang berjudul Kau Tetap Miliku. Armand juga pernah ikutan bernyanyi dengan Trio Libels. "Yah tapi dengan Trio Libels saya belum sempat membuat album kok," ucap Armand sambil tertawa-tawa. Saat ditanya kembali kapan akan membuat album solo? Armand memberikan jawaban ia tak akan membuat album solo selama masih ada Gigi. Dulu itu saat ia membuat album solo hanya percobaan saja, jadinya album tersebut sebagai pengenalan bagi dirinya akan dunia musik Indonesia.

Selama 8 tahun ini Gigi sudah merilis 7 album, dan mereka agak terhenti di album ke 7 ini. Jika dilihat dari perjalan musik Gigi, mereka termasuk salah satu band yang cukup rajin mengeluarkan album. Pada tahun 1995 mengeluarkan album Dunia, di 1996 3/4. Pada tahun 1997 2x2, 1998 Kilas Balik, 1999 Baik, 2000 Album Live Konser Baik, 2001 Untuk Segala Umur.

#19. Siryn, thanks for the Gigi concert info. Keep us updated about the concert venue, time, ticket pick up and things like that lah.

Raf, nasib baik kau couplekan perkataan chubby tu dengan perkataan "cute". Kau pun cute per.

BTW, Siryn hari tu salah nampak orang lah, haram I was nowhere near the AF studio or whatever.

#6. Huh, Gigi bukan ROCK tapi POP. Gila cink, that's some scary pop, if you can call it that! MK, you agree ke Gigi tu pop? Gila brutal you pop diorang.

Tapi Trio Libels booo.. itu terlalu pop! Terlalu pop buat image si Armand tuh... masih gak percaya nih gue.

Evita, jangan ngomong suruh kita2 baca tabloid kamu donk kalau di sini aja gak dijual, kirim2 ke gue sini kenapa...

#5. so.. Armand tak pernah mengakui dirinya penyanyi Rock.. BTW just read my Rock Tabloid i wrote the Cover Story about Armand.. and he really did sing with Trio Libels hehehe... Armand said "GUE BUKAN PENYANYI ROCKKK" and he kept telling me about that! dia bilang dia itu penyanyi Free Pop because Gigi itu Band Free Pop.. hahaha Gigi POP hahaha

#4. Shocking kan? Hehe. Gile what a change of singing concept. BTW, Evita told me she wrote this article because Armand kept reminding her that Gigi's birthday was today, so dah geram sangat dengar the same thing over and over, Evita finally sat herself down and wrote us this piece! Ah what constant reminders can do to one's sanity....

#3. haahhahah i understand what u mean Fai, I was a bit shock bila baca that article as well, singin' for trio libels? i thot i read it wrongly *lol*

#2. Instead of mellowed down, dia melllowed up (if there's such a word).
Posted by MK84 on 22-Mar-2002, 15:43 MYT

#1. Armand pernah nyanyi untuk Trio Libels? Oh my gosh, sungguh tak percaya! Trio Libels is a totally pop group concept (for those yang tak tau siapa Trio Libels), and to imagine Armand singing with them is so like, terkejut okay, since Gigi is totally rock. Haha. Macam mana tuh.... it's like saying Axl Rose pernah join New Kids on the Block nyanyi....!
