Since countless bands already exist, baptizing a new band is one of the most frustrating things musicians must go through. Aside from numbers, tweaked spellings and seemingly mundane objects, Pinoy musicians have explored another area: food. Naming bands after food and drinks might just be coincidental but you'd still be surprised at how many Pinoy bands sound tasty:
1. HOTDOG
Taste this: Hotdog was the Manila sound of the '70s, according to OPM.org.ph.
Bestsellers: "Annie Batumbakal," "Beh, Buti Nga," "Bongga Ka 'Day," "Ikaw ang Miss Universe ng Buhay Ko" and "Manila," among others.
The band versus the food: The band was as addictive as hotdog in its heyday but definitely more filling.
2. SANDWICH
Taste this: They chose the name "Sandwich" because "it was something that looked good on a T-shirt and kick drum," bassist Myrene Academia told amp.ChannelV.com. Vocalist Raimund Marasigan added, "The logo came first so obviously Diego (Castillo) and I wanted a band that started with the letter 'S' that would also look good on a t shirt and band (merchandise). He's a marketing grad. The name came before the band."
Bestsellers: "Sugod," "Sunburn," "Betamax," "Butterfly Carnival" and "2 Trick Pony," among others.
The band versus the food: With their evolving rock music and electric shows, Sandwich hits the spot.
