Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band was born September 2004.
Last July of 2004, Jeffrey met Hans and Percival of SIMON MAGUS band in Novaliches, Quezon City. Hans plays the guitar very well and did a lot of awesome riffs on the original compositions that Jeff made. Through the tandem of Percival (Former Bassist) and Hans, the compositions came to life.
The trio looked for a drummer to play their music. There were drummers who tried to fit-in but can't cope with their music. At first, Khay dela Fuente, a cousin of Jeff, was their drummer (a girl drummer!) for about a year. Then Jeremy Lunario, a computer science student of Fatima College, came to the scene.
Then, they started joining some Battle of the Bands in Novaliches, Fairview, Bulacan and Caloocan. They've won and also won Best Bassist and Lead guitarist.
We have a new super cool Bassist. Geo Melegrito from Teatro Rosario Band.
