Band pinggiran yang dibentuk akhir 90an di Yogya ini seperti sedang menulis ulang pengertian dari idiom lama "hidup segan mati tak mau". Cerita mereka cukup panjang, terlalu panjang untuk diceritakan ulang; juga tak terlalu penting. Pendeknya; mereka sudah muncul sejak jaman Parkinsound masih rutin diadakan tahunan; sesekali main band di panggung lokal, sesekali main di luar kota, sesekali main musik untuk performance dan teater, sesekali main musik untuk film, tapi lebih sering duduk-duduk, bercanda, saling memusuhi lalu berdamai sebelum permusuhan berikutnya. Sebuah band, bagaimanapun, cenderung meniru sebuah keluarga. Mengutip Anna Karenina: Seluruh keluarga bahagia selalu sama; keluarga tidak-bahagia, selalu tidak berbahagia dengan caranya masing-masing. Keluarga tidak berbahagia yang sering disingkat namanya menjadi Melbi ini disfungsional, retak, tapi selalu punya alasan untuk berkumpul di hari raya. Hari raya yang sibuk mereka ciptakan sendiri.

I blame my ears for I can't listen to these glimpses
Where was i?
Inside you hate your forgotten?
I've seen you crawl and I've seen you weep
I've even lived inside your manufactured dreams
Where was i?
Inside your hate you live and need?
Aha
