Jaycie and Honey
The word "acoustic" has really been overused and abused -- and we admit that we were ACCIDENTALLY part of the whole fad. We are, above all, quite fascinated with the sound of our guitars at its simplest form -- plain and clean. Just that, really.
We play songs that we feel have created an impact on us though deep or shallow... doesn't matter, as long as its not really pretentious. And because of this, we get all sorts of reactions -- either they're bored or really interested. Whatever the response, each and every gig will be a different story to tell.
The tandem was formed late January 2003, when these girls have decided to make music together. They do acoustic sets and both of them are on guitars and vocals.
Most of their acoustic gigs are played with percussionist DJ Rodriguez. Recently, they decided to team up and finally complete the 5-piece band lineup with Cyril Sorongon on drums, and Ephraim Ong on bass.
Jaycie and Honey are currently working on materials to record this year (hopefully!) for an upcoming independently released album.
