In 1997, keyboardist Andika formed a school band in Bandung , Indonesia that was called Topi, with Abel as bassist, Ari as drummer, and Lukman as guitarist who joined the band after being invited by Abel. Lukman later asked his friend and a high-school student, Ariel , to be the vocalist since he was interested with Ariel’s voice. Ariel then proposed his friend Uki as guitarist and Lukman approved it. Topi played in cafés — starting in the B Club café as their first appearance — birthday parties, independence day celebrations, and art festivals. Uki, Ariel, and Lukman decided to leave the band after seeing no vision for the band and Topi disbanded soon after.
