I heard them first on the Brewrats and I got interested in this band for some reasons. Their vocalist is a puppet (maybe the first in the world). They're quite a super-band coz some of its band members came from various bands. Of course, you must not ignore their music and his quest to find his father, Animal from the Muppets show. After I watched their videos of their guesting in Unang Hirit (wow, he had a duet with Arn-Arn!), their feature in Qtube and other various videos which you may see in their Youtube page. Of course, I wanna see more through this mini-interview with him.

1.Year or month & year the band established?
A. June 14, 2008.. It was quite memorable---that was father's day...and I was, still am, searching for my father... :-(
2.Band member indroduction
A. Some say that we are some sort of a "super band" 'cause my bandmates are all from established bands here in the Philippines but I don't really think of it that way. We're more of just "super friends" :-) Jeng Tan (Bass) also from Pin-up Girls Billy Reyes (guitars) also from Stonefree Jovi Reyes (drums) and Meh Reyes (sythn) also from the all girl group, Matilda. Manix Abrera on guitars.
3.Any updates in searching for your dad,Animal
A. Still no luck :-(
4.How your Brewrats guesting began as well as your 1st TV guesting in Unang Hirit (I mean there's an UH usually watches your gigs?)
A. The Brewrats crew and I have a common friend, Ms. Jaqueline Rufener. She made it all happen. In the case of Unang Hirit, I think the producer saw us on "Kapuso mo,Jessica Soho" (when my Vlog was featured on that show) and then she got in touch with us to play at UH. Just for clarification, UH was our first live TV performance, not our first TV appearance.. We first appeared on TV on Jojo A--back in the "Jojo A, All the way" days :-)
5.I saw your pics with Goin Bulilit kids,any chance that you'll be guesting there (& is it ok that your bandmates are not included)
A.Why not! Guesting there would be perfectly fine, and fun even. But it would be much better if I appear with my bandmates. Any TV appearance will be very helpful for my quest to be recognized...by my dad.
6.Which do you prefer more,bar gigs or with moshpit gigs?
A.Basta "listening crowd" ok yun kahit saan :-)
7.Forever under an indie label or having interest in a major label in the future?
A. Anything as long that it will lead me to my dad. But now I'll be honest to say that I'm flirting with some record labels :-)
8.I saw your adventure in ADMU,where's the next school that you might invade?
A. I'd like to visit Harvard and Hogwarts. Oxford would be splendid too..
9.Websites and gigs? (lahat na po)
A. Just visit gorgoro.com they can also check out animalismydad.blogspot.com.
