EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE

EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE was born in 1998. It all started with a band named Gooton, consisting Yudhi Arfani (guitar), Dimas Anindityo (bass), and Mulyadi Triharsono (drum) when they were only in junior high school! All three grew to become friends in the same scene that popped up several britpop’s gigs, popular in Jakarta at that time. However, the band went without permanent vocalist.

After some time, in 2001 the boys met Irene Yohanna, a girl with remarkable voice. Her voice trully made a break. All the boys loved it. Even more, everybody loves Irene! This in fact is the exact sentence that became the name of the band EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE. She soon became the main icon of this band.

With spare-backing tracks and emotional yet wrenching vocal, EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE play music for times when ecstasy wears off and the tingle becomes a chill. It's a dance noir for those too world-weary to move.

Their music quality got even more enriched when Aulia Naratama (synthetizer) and Nurendro Siwiaji (keyboard) joined the band. This is the last, perfect and solid format for the band to produce new, great songs like “Memento Mori”, “Gravity Always Win”, “Try Try Try”, “The Lullaby Show”, and the list goes on.

Now EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE's music might sound like ‘seen as a really unhappy world’. On its creative process, it admits that it is mostly inspired by some talented musicians like Portishead, Emiliana Torrini, Goldfrapp, Air, Mono, Sneaker Pimps, Anjali, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, The Smiths, Bloc Party, and some other great musicians that cannot be mentioned one by one.

This would make them an eclectic indie-pop band with lot of trip-hop that touches a view element of electronica sounds. It will reveal such dark ambience when these young acts is started to perform their non-standard songwriting.

Among these times, EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE has already independently released a highly-appreciated EP entitled, “Uncertainty, Anxiety, and All the Sorrow in this World” as their first musical journey in September 2004. They also has participated in some local compilation album, including a nation-wide movie original soundtrack. Right now they’re still working in a professional studio to finishing their first full-length album materials.

EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE has created lunatic fans among the music lovers, regarding the quantity of presenting themselves in some local events that they have participated.

The other thing that we can say is that if you're making out at home or pining home alone, EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE is the most appropriate one to leisure.
