Ilanda was a three-piece band that was formed in Melbourne, Australia. They were originally a four-piece band named Past to Present. The members originate from Auckland, New Zealand, though their heritage is Samoan. The band's last release was in 2000. ==History== Born in New Zealand, all four members grew up with each other as kids, living in the same neighbourhood for many years. They were all member of the same church choir. However, the fates of the four would come to a halt, when Norman and Lennie migrated to Melbourne. Eleven years later, however, they would discover that Frank and Leighton were in Melbourne as well, so they reunited once more and formed the group known as ''Past to Present''.〔 As Past to Present, they achieved moderate local success with their singles "''Crazy''" and a cover of Earth, Wind & Fire's "''September''". They also featured on Peter Andre's single ''"Get Down on It"''. Their song ''"Sexuality"'' was featured on the Home and Away: The Sounds of Summer Bay soundtrack. Feeling that things felt a little too rushed, they took a year's hiatus from the music industry and refocused on what they wanted to do in their music careers. Leighton Hema left the group, citing personal reasons.〔 They would reappear in the music scene in late 1999 to early 2000 as a three piece band, choosing the name Ilanda, (pronounced the same as 'Islander') a simple reference to their Samoan heritage. The band achieved moderate success with their singles ''"It's our time",'' ''"Tasty"'' and ''"Breakin' There's No Stoppin' Us"'' featuring Joanne Accom. Ilanda credit the Samoan band ''The Katinas'', as being a major inspiration for them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilanda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
