Remember that Friday (November 6, 2015) hereby dubbed as #BusyFriday ?
We went from the opening of Krispy Kreme in SM Angono, to the official Christmas launch of SM Masinag through a Fairytale Christmas, to the SPECTRE screening in the evening. Well we actually had a stop #4 for #BusyFriday and that was at Zili’s to catch some long overdue live OPM music. Unfortunately Spectre was like two hours long and we also met Friday traffic so unfortunately we weren’t able to watch Mayonnaise or Paraluman perform and only got to the last few songs of UNICA’s set.
Well, I’ve always been the glass-half-full kind of person and instead of being sad about it we (Team PCheng) just made the most of the situation- as we always do. So Paul started taking photos as soon as we arrived.
UNiCA is a pop-rock alternative band that has been steadily making their way in the local music scene. Formerly known as Maltida which was formed way back in May of 2009 and hailing from Zamboanga. They have taken a new name and are set to make their mark in the local music scene. You may probably be familiar with the six-piece band’s dual-dialect song “Porque” which was written in Tagalog and Chabacano. The song went on to become number 1 in radio stations in Manila back in 2011.
UNiCA is composed of:
Demz Espinosa (Vocals)
Whey Guevara (Guitar/Composer)
RB Bandiola (Guitar)
Nico Sta. Cruz (Drums)
Jimi Ong (Bass)
Jesser Sison (Keyboard)
Even if we were only to catch a couple of songs, we were easily impressed by the beautiful voice of Demz and the well written catchy songs. I was going through their Facebook page and was equally thrilled to find an impressive cover of Naruto Shippuden’s “Yura Yura” I’m already curious about their album entitled Breaktime anyone know where I can get a physical copy?
You guys should also make sure that you’re following Zilli’s they have an awesome line up for November! Plus delish food 🙂
