Bio:

.. When fate and fine intentions cross paths, something wonderful must be on hand... and whoever said that good things are worth the wait must have envisioned Your Imaginary Friends lingering in the wings. Four years in the making before arriving at their current lineup, Emerald Aquino(bass) joined brothers Ahmad and Ed Tanji (vox/guitars and guitars respectively) and Eric Po (drummer) in March 2010 with a resolve to do their bit in the name of pop music. They have since been conquering varied audiences with their arresting brand of refreshing pop. Taking cues from the Pixies, The Smiths and Death Cab For Cutie, those who come to experience the band live wait with curiosity until the first line drops to reveal an eargasmic mash-up of the band’s influences—whether it’s their rendition of "Where Is My Mind” by Pixies or their original material, this quartet does not disappoint. With the lofty aspiration to save the world one pop song a day, it is not at all astonishing that Your Imaginary Friends is answering the call. Pop fans welcome the four-piece and their music with more than open arms and ears, putting them on the fast track to their purpose of resuscitating an industry already overwhelmed by insipid repetition. Due in September 2010 is the long awaited EP release in collaboration with Lilystars Records. Anticipating this is in the horizon, there is nothing to fear for the future of pop music.-http://www.myspace.com/yourimaginarymusic

Taking four years to make, Your Imaginary Friends began as an idea for an e-mail project by two of its members who were, back then, quite physically distant from each other. The band has come a long way since those days, and along with the relocations, several lineup changes, and later affiliation with indie record label, Lilystars, they have developed a distinct sound and musical quality, which is—as the band members themselves describe—of indie rock and new wave, dance and poetry, all combined to make a unique kind of pop.

Your Imaginary Friends was one of only three acts who opened the show in Metro Manila for Club 8, a world-renowned indie pop act from Sweden who very recently visited the Philippines as part of a tour. After this major break, the band continued with preparations for their first EP, due for release in September.
