The Yummiest Music in Town: 20 Pinoy Bands Named After Food

Dyan Zarzuela | Published: May 25, 2010 - 7:45am

19.   COFFEEBREAK ISLAND

Taste this: Coffee Break Island played for expatriates and locals in a two-month stint in China in 2005, reports PEP.ph.

Bestsellers: "Sweet Lovin," "Party Song" and "Pakikinggan," among others.

The band versus the food: Coffeebreak Island jumpstarts your blood with their own mix of reggae, ska, soul, and rock.


20.   ORANGE AND LEMONS

Chew on this: The name Orange and Lemons was recommended by a former member of the band.

Bestsellers: "Hanggang Kailan," "Just like a Splendid Love Song," "Abot Kamay" and "Pinoy Ako," among others.

The band versus the food: Their retro-pop sound was fresh and catchy but things later turned sour. After about two years, Orange and Lemons disbanded due to "individual and musical differences."


SPOT.ph wants to know: Do you know other bands named after food?

    What about PINIKPIKAN??? rnIt is obviously a food (chicken dish from the Cordillera). Nothing can be more filipino than PINIKPIKAN. But of course it is always ignored because it has never been in the mainstream....

    Makopa - a band formed in UP Diliman composed of members from the UP Music Circle. Although they have separate careers today (lead vocalist is a teacher in Brent, bassist is a preschool teacher in Gymboree, keyboardist is a licensed physician, drummer is a computer engineer and lead guitarist is a lawyer), they still find time to get together and play once in a while.

    Technically, Live Tilapia and The Purplechickens are bands named after animals. Why? Kasi those animals are still alive. Live Tilapia isn't in its food state yet. Take, for example, The Porkchop Duo. Hindi naman Pig yung reference sa name nila kundi Porkchop. So cooked or ready to cook na. Hehehe. All the food bands on this list refer to processed food, condiments, drinks, fruits, and other ready to cook/cooked stuff. (Yes, I am a proud nerd.)
