A Band Once started off with two members, determined to experience the feeling of performing at a show despite their limited musical knowledge and know-how. In 2003-2004, they initially jammed out as a three-piece, with Izud, now the band Undergrip's drummer. However, Izud had to concentrate playing with Undergrip so was replaced with drummer, Padil.
In August 2005, Syafiq and Izzat were offered a slot to perform at a gala night, held at a small hall in the ICC. The five got together and practised at Starmakers, which offers free one hour jamming at the blue room with ten receipts of jamming in the red room. In order to claim the free hour, the band name used needs to be the same. So, Syafiq figured, since they were going to jam once, they call themselves "A Band Once".
After the gig, the original trio really felt the hype of performing in front of everyone, and from that point onwards, Adi volunteered to play the bass for another gig and Khai played the keyboards.
Since then, A Band Once played at small events and gigs as a five-piece, but Syafiq knows better about his singing abilities thus searched on for a new vocalist and met Faizul, who was singing for another band. Faizul performed a few songs with the band for an AIDS Council event before joining the band.
Recently winning the Chosen Newcomer Award at the Pelangi Awards 2008/2009, A Band Once is determined to give more to their fans, at the same time produce more high quality music and maybe one day infiltrate the international market.

Membina harapan
Pengorbanan yang tak ternilai bagi mereka
Walau setitik manapun yang kau hulurkan
Jasamu akan tetap dikenang

This song is actually a theme song requested by the Ministry of Health for a blood donation day. But it IS one of the best songs by Bruneian atrists.

Luas ni sebanarnya maksud lagu ani. Ia boleh ditujukan kepada siapa sahaja yang mencurahkan Pengorbanan demi nyawa orang lain. Indung yang membasarkan kitani, orang yang menyerahkan nyawa nya, memderma darah, anggota beruniform, cigu yang mencurahkan bakti arah muridnya dan banyak lagi.
Semoga yang mencurahkan pengorbanan diterima amal nya dan diberikan pahala oleh Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala.
