History

Potato was formed by Peechanit Oan-Aari, Nantakrai Cham-Jaiharn, Oranuch Tangdechavut, and Suwatin Watthanawitukun. Potato's original vocalist was Peechanit Oan-Aari, but he died on 3 October 2002, leading to the band's dissolution. However, the band reunited in 2003. In 2008, Potato announced a new drummer named Kan Uamsupan, replacing Suwatin Watthanawitukun, who left the group after recording the "Sense" album. He still makes occasional appearances with the band. Potato's lineup then included Patchai "Pup" Pukdesusook, Piyawat "Ohm" Anukul, and Kan Uamsupan. The band's last guitarist, Rattanapon "Win" Keng-Rean, left Potato in 2010 and a number of guitarists from other bands have substituted for him since. In 2013, Teekatas "Hang" Taviarayakul joined the band as the group's latest guitarist.
