They made their first show at Potluck Cafe, Bandung at 14th February, 2007.

But 3 months later, both Astrie and Bagus realized that the latest form of Astree and the Leaves isn't enough to make a great live performance, too much boundaries and lack of harmony. So, they agreed to change the band's form, from duo into a full band.

In the middle of June, 2007, Astree and the Leaves became a real full band after Bagus recruiting his former band (Nicenoise,2002) mates. Adi Luhung (Drums), Andika Pradana (Bass) and Isa Adrianto (guitar). That was the beginning of Astree and the Leaves's new born, from semi unplugged into semi electronic pop/alternative band.

Also their own songs such as Hey!, Etre Aime, Green Shade, Confessed (coming up next: The Finest Distance, You're There,Winning Loser, I can't heal, Ujung Dunia, and many others). Their music being directed by Magi (Drummer of /rif) especially for Hey!, Etre Aime, Green Shade, You're There and Ujung dunia.

In the beginning of 2008, Andika and Isa decided to quit the band, replaced by Ukooy (Bass) and Andre (Sekapur Sirih's guitarist) until now.

Astree and The Leaves now still working with their demo, performing to introduce their music and of course, get a record deal.
