Based on an initiative to create opportunities for Indonesian jazz players to collaborate with international talents in making a world music, the effort came downright to the existence of this band. Bali Lounge consisted of six multinational jazz players: Rick Smith, Brune Le Flanchec, Nicolas Rastoul. Lewis Pragasam, Tompi and Harry Toledo. The hit single Something's Wrong from their first eponymous album became a radio hit in 2004.
A couple of years later they produced the second album Bali Lounge 2, which was heavier with pop style. There were changes in the band's formation, leaving two former members Lewis Pragasam and Harry Toledo, and joined by Chris Wright, pianist Alvin Loebis, and many other guest artists including singer Iwan Abdie and simakDialog's member Djalu D Pratidina, introducing ethnical flute and percussion to the band's music elements.
