Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
a thinline between jpop and britpop, afroasian and electrojazz, between blur and oasis, between fog and smoke, between fuzz and ring. a bloodtrail from los angeles to manila.
if you wake up in a stupor and confusion, that's it, that's them. don't rub your eyes. that's the state of mind they are putting upon you.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
ofcourse.
whenever raius is in manila, yes, we do.
