If you're a child of the late 1960's & 1970's you would probably remember the above photo albums of Malaysian band The Strollers who were popular with the song "Just as I am". Back then they consists of members; Michael Magness, Nand Kumar, Billy Chang, Hussein Idris and Ramli.
40 years on, Hussein Idris (an original member of “Strollers”), Desi and Casper (two ex members of the “Memories” Band) decided to make a comeback to the music scene solely out of their love of music together with Nan formerly of "Grim Preachers" and Lord of "The Boys".
Today, they are known as "The Strollers2".

I recently had the opportunity to photograph an event where The Strollers2 was the entertainment band. Honestly after decades of rocking & rolling, they show no sign of fading or retiring from the music scene. According to their Manager, Mr Sunny Tan, the band are currently being engaged in an entertainment outlet in Kuala Lumpur but also available for private functions and have a huge followers enjoying the music of the past era. From CCR to Rolling Stones and Procol Harum to Hank Marvin & The shadows, you will not be disappointed as they have a huge bank of songs in their finger tips.

Hello Nizman.....I am Eko Muhatma, the keyboardist and vocalist of the Grim Preachers in the early 70's. I've been in Indonesia since the band broke up in 1972 but the memories still live on. The only ex-member I've met after the break up was Daiman Mat Nor, our bassist but he passed away more than 10 years ago. Keen to know the email addresses of Nan....and possibly Chan, our drummer after Hussein left to join Strollers. Would really appreciate your help if I can get in touch with them for old times sake. In case you're interested, my daughter Lala has taken after me and is on her way to produce her third album with SONY Indonesia. Her second album STARS was produced by Warner Music Philippines....you can view her at youtube under Lala Kartodirdjo - Waitin which was her hit single in Philippines.
