Sounds like: The band says that Muziklaban once labeled their music as fun rock.

“I love you once/I love you twice…” If you park yourself in the boobtube enough times you’ve probably seen a band fronted by a guy sporting a dress and a Mohawk performing this song. The song in question is I Love You 1, 2, 3 from their self-titled debut album under Indie Music, the new label headed by singer/songwriter Ogie Alcasid and songbird Regine Velasquez. They are currently supporting their new single Yesterday and Today.

The band started playing in small bars such as Purple Hase way back when it was still in Marikina. They also joined various band competitions including Muziklaban, where they once qualified for a finals spot. Their big break came when they managed to insert themselves in a gig night at the now defunct Bubble Gang Topping bar in Katipunan. They literally begged part owner Boy2 Quezon to let them play even if they weren’t scheduled to play that night Quizon was so entertained that he lost no time and referred them to Alcasid and Velasquez.

The band is now promoting their album playing gigs that are, in Peter’s words “out-of-town and out of the planet.” They’ve also been racking out promotional TV guest appearances and Peter is still stunned to this day that Paolo Contis played him in a TV biopic last year. Indie Music has also placed them side by side with labelmate Dennis Trillo in various mall shows before handing them to Mayric’s co-founder Sazi Cosino for management duties.
