Ok so on to the second part:

Lalalalala……

Ok so around 2008, i was in a band named Stereolalas (we conceptualized the name after a band practice at Starbucks Megamall) and from there we made our debut at Death Cab For Cutie Night 2. We covered songs from DCFC and below is our cover of Blacking out the friction

Stereolalas – Blacking out the Friction (cover)

Afterwards, we had a few series of short-lived gigs from Route 196 to Saguijo to the now-defunct Mag:net High Street. We were there playing and covering songs and if im not mistaken, we had an original song back then. Too bad i  don’t have a copy of it on my archives.

Moving on to new directions

Like other bands, there’s a story on each rise and fall. This was the same case as with the Stereolalas. After a few months of gigs and practices, Stereolalas went on hiatus and up to now, the reason behind it is well, yeah just for us. I’m still hoping though if we can still have a one-night only gig for the last time.

So there, moving on, past is past, we all went our separate ways. But for the record, we were all in good terms. I’m even happy for them as well.

As for me, i have to move on to that phase. New job, new environment, new life. It’s more of a”past is past thing and look forward to tomorrow” so i went on to do some solo stuff at home. Armed with a guitar and microphone, i decided to make my own compositions (just like before) and i even composed a song for my girlfriend back then now my wife. Once music runs in your blood and you have the passion to make one, ideas will never run out.

Mushy Bastards

After toying the idea to form a band. One of my officemates suggested me to be in a band. Original plan was to do a band to relieve stress from work. Up until initially Mushtards was formed(why mushtards? ask Renz)

Originally a 3 pieceband composed of Renz (on drums… promil kid) Marci on bass and Me on Vox and guitars, we had our debut at Beat Bucket night 2 (the production that one of our officemates started) and yeah it was just ok. After the gig, we noticed that we had to fill in more members thus we recruited the magic hands of Alwyn Cruz to add up on guitars and Albert for the banging drums. As for Renz, well, he went back to handle the guitars. And thus the Mushtards were born.

We cover songs from Sugarfree to The Killers and even Taylor Swift! Well, the last one was just a request. Heheh!

Mushtards – Mr Brightside’s Love Story

Looking ahead

After a couple of gigs and practices, i can see a bright future ahead of Mushtards. I’m not calling this one my band because a band needs talented and awesome members in order to make great music. We are all evolving and changing but it’s for the good of the band. an i must say this band effin rocks! This is our band, Ze Mushtards!
