  • Additional Info about the band:

    GEMINI the band was previously known as Grave~en~Crie for 2 years. Adzim and Firdaus started the band with another friend Azfar as the vocalist. Adzim knew Adam from university and recruited him as the guitarist. Firdaus knew Khairul from university and recruited him as the 2nd guitarist.

    In mid 2008, Azfar left the band to concentrate on his other band - a hardcore band called Saloma. They then decided to recruit Lina whom Adam and Adzim knew from university. Their first gig was on 28th June 2008 at Paul's Place.

    Soon after that, realizing Grave~en~Crie was a bit too much for most mouths to utter, the band changed their name to GEMINI the band, or simply GEMINI.
