Analena's line-up has undergone some changes during their existence. Their beginnings go to Zagreb in the year 1997 when the guitarist Mijo, bassist Six and drummer Zet formed a band. A year later vocalist Ana joined them and almost after four more years a Slovene guitarist, Miran joined the band as the second guitarist and back vocalist. This line-up has remained intact and active for almost a decade until 2006 when Six left the band. After a several-month-long hiatus Analena started to perform again, first with a substitute bassist and later with Ana on the position of not only as a vocalist, but a bassist too. Analena has released and performed as a four-piece ever since.
