ten2five is an Indonesian band formed in Perth, Australia in 1998. The band currently consists of vocalist Imel, guitarist Robin, bassist Arief, and drummer Poltak. The band's songs are mostly written in English and Indonesian.
"ten2five" was taken as the band name because the band members agreed to meet up to do some practice every Saturday between 10 AM until 5 PM. The original lineup consists of Lea, Didit (guitars), Robin, Arief, and Poltak.
Besides writing and performing their own stuff, they used to play rock songs too, mostly Live and Korn songs. They (only Robin and Poltak with the help of additional players) played "Follow the Leader" at SUB (an Indonesian student bands organization) event in 1999.
In 2000, most of the guys went back to Jakarta, Indonesia. Lea had to leave the band to pursue her own career and start her own family. Robin, Arief, and Poltak kept on playing music for fun.
In 2001, these guys met Imel. They played every Saturday, but not from 10 AM to 5 PM anymore, since they had to hire the studios per shift. They also added Didit as a guitarist.
In 2002, the band won a radio competition by singing "I Will Fly" which was originally written by Arief and Lea in 1998.
In 2004 they were signed to Explosive Records and released their debut album "I Will Fly".
In 2005 Didit left the band due to creative differences.
In 2006, they released their second album, "A Brand New Day".
In September 2007, they released their third album, "3". This album contains a song written in Japanese which attracted Japanese TV station, NHK, to do an interview with them.
