Have you performed in front of an audience?
We play live in the Cebu City independent music scene. We hate Cebu's showband culture, but we love the challenge to eliminate this embarrassing showband scene. For those who don't know much about Filipino pop music terminology, a showband is a pop cover band that plays anything from Spice Girls, sugary pop alternative rock covers, Nelly & etc...for cheap entertainment's sake. We believe we can revolutionize the culture into a more authentic and internationally respectable one. There are few bands in Cebu who are bravely aiming for the same cause. One of our special moments is when we were the feature band on RCTV(a Cebu cable channel) in July last year.
Your musical influences
Too many to mention: prominent rock acts of diverse styles from the '50s - '90s; prominent jazz and blues legends; prominent world music artists.
Anything else?
Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Stephane Mallarme, Pablo Neruda, & Octavio Paz are my primary influences. - Lomocso
