Who’s Afraid of Flying Ipis?

You would think that a rock band called Flying Ipis would have greasy-haired, heavily tattooed men as members, scaring their audiences with loud, angry, death metal music. The truth is, Flying Ipis was born in the corridors of an all-girl Filipino catholic high school in 1995, when a flying cockroach (“ipis” in Tagalog) drove them out of their first practice session.

Fueled by alternative rock, the girls flared through the glorious 90’s playing from high school fairs to rocking the faces off of people at bars they weren't even old enough to drink in. Though college took them to different places, after reuniting at their 10th-year high school reunion, they decided to relive their undiminished passion for rock n’ roll and they have not looked back since.

So, grittier, wiser, and now of legal age, they're back with a brand new invention: their own flavor of garage punk rock, fused with their kick-ass, fun-loving attitude!

With Deng Garcia on the mic, Ymi Castel on guitar, Iris Jumao-as on bass, and Gaki on drums, Flying Ipis has been infesting the Metro bar scene with their high soaring tempo and infectious riffs; evident in their catchy originals - “Sssikreto,” “Past is Past, Bitch!,” “This Song is About You,” “Uh Oh No” and “Lundagin Mo, Beybi.”

Bagging the NU In The Raw Artist Award at the last NU 107.5 Rock Awards 2010, has propelled the girls’ spirits even more as they vow to stick true to their passion and rock hard to their potential in the coming new year.

So breathe in the manic music of the flying roaches! Jump! Dance! Scream! Fly!...

Don’t be afraid.
