Sown in August 2001 by Chad Rialp and Benito Gonzalez, Liquid Jane had germinated into an acoustic duo. The band grafted on percussionist David Esteban early the next year, making the transition to power trio status in the middle of 2002. For close to four years, the band has discreetly basked in the scene, sharing top soil with notable local talents like Sound, Sun Down Muse, Coffee Shop Conspiracies, The Blue Jean Junkies, 3rd World Project, Session Road, Twisted Halo, and many others.

In May 2004, LJ launched their first crop in EP form with newcomer Ken Navarroza filling the drum seat. Recorded live at the Eggroom Studios in Parañaque, the EP features four incendiary tracks of dark funk. By mid-2005, the band completed its line up by adding keyboardist Erwin Fajardo.

LJ has just completed their debut album "Newspaper, Bottle" - a full-length effort featuring the cross-pollination of the Manila scene's premier music personnel.

We're drawn by anything that shows great musicality, solid grooves, and smart lyrics. Influences range from Radiohead, Ani Di Franco, Richie Havens, Jane's Addiction, Rush, Dave Mattews, Corduroy, Smashing Pumpkins, Dream Theater, to name a few.
