The Story
Muveno started in 2008. After a Mötley Crüe show in Singapore, Erick Irsan and Anggun went home and decided to start their own band with that same 90's rock energy. Eighteen years and ten lineup changes later, they're still at it — no signs of stopping.
It took seven years to turn that idea into a real debut album. When Tomorrow Is Ours finally came out in 2015, Muveno did it the hard way — a full concert at XXI, paid for entirely through crowdfunding from friends, fans, and family. Journalists who came expecting a small local show left talking about how they pulled it off.
The second album took even longer. Erick spent most of 2017 in Jakarta looking after his father, who was sick at the time. Songs that were already finished and mastered got reworked from scratch. It was a hard, draining process — but the result was the band's most creative and varied record yet.
By 2025, all that work had added up: 5 singles, 3 albums, and 2 compilation albums, plus a spot performing and speaking at TEDx Surabaya in 2023.
