Comic Relief.[1] is an alternative rock band from Zamboanga City, Philippines. The band was formed in 2003 and started the Chavacano music craze from early 2006 to late 2011 which gave rise to Original Chavacano Music. The band is best known for their many hits including the song "Nuay Etu, Nuay Manyana"[2] "Necesita", "Nuay Mas"[3] and "Cuando?"[4]
History
In 2004, Zack and Jelo met through an internet gaming café, the infamous “Battle City” located at Campaner Street, Zamboanga City, where they spent countless hours playing computer games. Unbeknownst to both of them, they had far more in common other than playing computer games, and that was their love for music.
They decided to get together every afternoon and share their love for music by jamming. Together with Mark and Randy, they formed “COMIC RELIEF”. (A name which had been previously used by “Parokya Ni Edgar” when they were just starting out.)
After a couple of months, they found themselves competing at different “Battle Of The Bands” in the area and eventually won first place in a city-wide band competition organized by Silsilah.
The band quickly realized that they were capable of doing more and aspired to be part of the bigger picture. They decided to write their own music and hoped that people would be able to relate to the band and appreciate what they had to offer. They wrote songs in English & Tagalog but focused mainly on Chavacano. Thus, the song “CUANDO?” was conceived.
They uploaded their first video on YouTube showcasing mainly their Chavacano songs, thus catching the attention of IFM and Tristan Climaco (former keyboardist of FRIO). Tristan Climaco helped the band record their songs in his recording studio at home in late 2007. IFM offered the band free massive airplay of their songs. “NUAY MAS” was their first single, and after a couple of months they released “CUANDO?”.
The band unfortunately had to change its lineup for some musical reasons. Thus, Marvin De Jesus and Mykel Tordecillas joined the band, making it what we know today.
