Almost Satellite – “The Final Cut”
Almost Satellite is a Filipino post-rock-alternative band from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The band emerged in October of 2008, as K9, where they showed off their talents and made it to the finals of a regional rock band contest held in Cagayan de Oro that year – Red Horse Muziklaban. Restless from Cagayan de Oro to Bukidnon for the eliminations, to the semi-finals in Butuan, and the finals in Marikina City – they paved their own way instead of just walking down main street looking to catch a big break.
It was 2009 when they started to write their own songs. Some of the songs were based on some of their personal lives and their experiences as a group and each song they release to the public, never fails to be a hit thus creating many more opportunities for themselves like mainstream media features and guesting.
They decided to change their name as Almost Satellite, last 2010, in accordance with their current band genre and existing band members. Ever since then, in every event they get to perform in, they have been known in doing a great job in bringing the house down.
Their music is labeled as post-rock-alternative – a sub-genre of rock music. Characterized by the influence and use of instruments associated with guitar rhythms as melodic and textures, with post drum and bass style, and high vocal pitch and scream.
Almost Satellite’s current line-up consists of Tyrone Encabo (vocals), Bam Roa (guitar), Tatski Lagrosas (bass), Jopax Arendain (guitar), and Jedi Dela Cruz (drums).
November 2011, they finished recording their debut album “The Final Cut” with 8 original singles and 2 music videos of their current hit tracks – “As You Sleep” and “Sleepless Streets”.
Witness as they take the stage and launch their first album, “The Final Cut”, on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at Punchbowl-Karomata together with the best Cagayan de Oro and Iligan indie bands. Show starts 8pm.
