The
O-Larn Project, is a rock band
widely known for its own unique music style.
Not only has it influenced and inspired
the creation of several rock albums in Thailand
in recent years, but it has also been the
launch pad for several Thai rock stars to
form famous rock bands such as Hin-Lek-Fire
(Stone-Metal-Fire), and The Sun.
In 1984, O-Larn Promjai
was a member of The Soda Band,
but he started composing his own songs ready
for the debut of his own band The
O-Larn Project.
The O-Larn
Projects original line-up consisted of
5 musicians: O-Larn
Promjai (lead guitar), Pathompong
Sombatbipoon (singer), Pitak
Srisank (bass guitar), Chanin
Saengkamchoo (drums), and Chatpong
Niyomthai (keyboard).
( Above is the current
line-up)
|
Their first album February
2528 (February 1985 Representing
the Care) was
produced by GS Sounds and achieved rapid success
with such hits as Ya
Yud Yang (Dont Stop), Tan Kwam Huang
Yai (Representing the Care), Proh Rak (Because
of Love), and Chan Yaak Tay Proh Thur Wa (I
Wanna Die of Her).
O-Larn continued to write and develop the bands
musical style. They were in fact the first band
in Thailand to fuse classical with rock, a style
which complemented the meaningful lyrics of
Pathompong.
Their long awaited second album Hu-Lek
(Iron Ear), was produced by Milestone Records,
(owned by Manoj Pudtan) and was distributed
in 1991.
By now, the band had reformed, changing from
5 members to 4. O-Larn and Pathompong brought
on board a new bass guitarist Narong Sirisarasuntorn,
and Swedish drummer Michael Johansson.
In 1993, The O-Larn Project joined with The
Rain and Manoj Pudtan to record 3 songs in the
special album Tri
Paak (The Tri-World). The well
known Dae Prakoon Poh
Mae Poo Ying Yai Talord Kan (The Obligatory
Dad and Mom: The Greatest of Eternity) was
one of these songs.
The O-Larn Projects fourth album Likit
Duang Dao (Star of Destiny),
was produced in 1996 when the band signed with
The Perfect Records. This album won the prestigious
Season Awards Best Rock Band and Best Instrumental
with Palang Lae Kwam Tang Jai (Strength and
Intentness), which O-Larn composed as a grateful
dedication on the auspicious occasion of 50th
Anniversary of H.M. the Kings reign.
1997 brought their fifth album Ten
Years of The O-Larn Project
with a new arrangements of songs from their
first album, together with a new song U
TEE JAI
Their sixth and latest album, The
O-Larn Project Classic was
produced in 2002 , and celebrated the reunion
of the original band members. The songs were
re-arranged and re-worked in both acoustic and
electric styles.
Today, The O-Larn Project band is still busy
with regular gigs and concerts, and time permitting,
the occasional TV or radio appearance. O-Larn
Promjai is invited by other artists to share
his work on their own albums, such as Yuenyong
Opakuls album Suem Sao
Ngau Hang for which Tiwa Sarajutha composed
both melody and lyrics, and on The Ebolas album
Enlighten.
