JAKARTA - Kerispatih recently released a single bqaru entitled Message Rindu. Although many initial personnel have left, their music is considered by many fans not to have many changes.

Fandy (vocals) said that many fans gave an assessment that Kerispatih's musical color is still the same as when it was still strengthened by initial personnel.

"Friends who hear there are still many who have not lost the value of the common thread. They say the music is still very Kerispatih," said Fandy in Cipinang, East Jakarta last week.

Kerispatih personnel are currently not in trouble if their music is still considered similar to the music color carried in the mid-2000s. The reason is, the first two personnel are still every time with the band until now.

"Why is the common thread still there, because the two personnel were still there at first," said Anton.

Meanwhile, along his journey, Kerispatih has changed formations several times. In 2003, the band was formed with members of Sammy (vocals), Badai (keyboards), Arief (guitar), Andika (bass), and Anton (drums).

After releasing four albums, Honest Heart (2005), Feeling Reality (2007), Timeless (2008), and All About Love (2009), Sammy was expelled from Kerispatih for drug abuse cases.

After Sammy's departure in 2010, Kerispatih chose to replace him with Fandy, the singer who graduated from the talent search event, Indonesian Idol.

However, Kerispatih's formation has changed again with the release of Hurricane in 2016.

The remaining four personnel had to lose one more personnel two years later. Andika, who was previously sick, died while sleeping on April 10, 2018.
