Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We simply define our music as bubblegum,pop,melodic,hip,indie,what you ever want to call it as long as people appreciates our music. We feel good every time we play music "Pag magkakasama kami parang nawawala ang stress namin parang dun mo sa gitara sa drums etc. nalalabas yung galit lungkot atbp." The band was formed by Pao,Kenn,Gamaliel while playing in a small store near thier neighborhood Pao and Baliw were playing the song "Drive My Car" and suddenly this Brit Guy named "Roger" who owned this store aproached them and lend them his chords of his Beatles songs and he liked it, so then it started them to play cover songs from the 50's - 60's.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play with Thiorians Production here in Moonwalk , we're really glad with people who loved 50's & 60's rock & roll.
