VIA CLASS-CONSCIOUS ROCK AS POP, VERSATILITY WORKS! HERE'S EXCITING CULTURE-SENSITIVE ROCK FOR THE MASSES AS WELL AS FOR PROFESSORS!! Groupies' Panciteria used to be a young Tacloban-based band called Rosary Beeds composed of Puding on vocals, JR Casco on bass, Joey Geroca on lead guitar, Steven Lawsin on rhythm guitar, and Val Salazar on drums. Then the five-o hired the Bocaue, Bulacan-based left-of-center Web poet Jojo Soria de Veyra to write the band's lyrics in Tagalog for the panciteria, as against the coffee shop, crowd. De Veyra (here performing under the name Tandang Soria) became the band's second vocals, percussionist, co-arranger, vocal harmonics co-arranger and co-masterer of the band's cheap demo recording.
