Cosmic
Love is a band that represents everything that is positive. Spreading
the message of peace and love through music is the main principle that
binds this tribe of jeprox. Influenced by many various types of music as
diverse as from the classics to the new, beach to urban, folk to dance,
world to opm, pop to rock and loud to mellow. By experimenting with
different genres and going beyond the border line of making music, the
group has developed a sound which is both fresh and original.
The
Cosmic Love sound can be described as intense, charismatic and
exciting. Mainly built on groovy bass lines, backed up by funky drum
beats, flavored by psychedelic and unique smooth guitar riffs, mixed to
it are a wide variety of spicy percussions making it very sexy and
powerful. On top of it all is a voice that can be reminiscent of a
soulful gospel singer. Formed at the latter part of 2003, the band has
performed at bars in the metro such as 6 Undergroundg, Halo, Racks El
Pueblo, Absinth, Capones, Saguijo Cafe, Mayrics, Ikkois, and Rock Radio
among others. They were also part of SMBs Oktoberfest 2005 list of
regular performers.
Not limiting themselves to the metro, the
group also enjoys sharing their music outside manila, performing in
beaches and other provincial cities such as Puerto Galera, Punta Fuego,
Zambales and such. One of the most memorable gigs outside Metro Manila
was the first surf festival sponsored by San Miguel which was highly
celebrated at La Union, where they received a plaque of appreciation.
Since then, Cosmic Love has become the favorite of the surfing community
in the Philippines.
The band is also part of the PINOY SOUL
MOVEMENT promoting hippie love together with bands Pinoy Stories and
Sino Sikat? Which, over the past year, had developed its own following.
On the summer of 2005, the band has collaborated with hip hops
turbulence production artist Nimbus 9ine to create Island Lovin which
received airplay at radio stations such as rx93.1 and 105.9. The band
has a 12 song demo album in their pockets and in 2006 they released
their first EP, featuring guest performances by funk icon Karl Roy and
Pinoy Stories' Camoi Miraflor. It sold out in no time at all. Fans love
Cosmic Love for the contagious joy, badassery, and positivity that their
performances and personas convey. and of late 2009 the band went
through some changes, replacing some of its original members with
Queso's bassist Tuts Calinawan, Kapatid's Anjo Elemos on guitars and
Paolo Rosal on drums,Miko "Tweaktronik" Acu on turntables took over the
the duties adding both muscle and sexy to their already hyper-electric
performances. Cosmic Love will soon release their full-length album, so
you better get ready for funk-a-soul to get medieval on your asses.
