CHEATS to Celebrate 10th Anniversary with Intimate Show
Filipino
indie-rock outfit CHEATS will be celebrating their 10th
anniversary in the local music scene with a headline show happening on March
16, 2024, at Balcony Music House in Makati City.
The
“Accidents” band will be performing a long set featuring fan favorites and
rarities. Joining CHEATS are some of their long-time music peers, including
SOS, Oh, Flamingo! and Sandwich.
“We wanted
to do a show that has a 'party like it's the mid-2010s' vibe, which is the
reason why we chose Sandwich, SOS, and Oh, Flamingo! to share the stage with us,”
the eclectic 7-piece act explains in a press statement. “They were among the
bands we loved (and still do) and played a lot with back when the band was just
starting out. We’ll all play lengthy sets, and while we haven’t come up with a
set list yet, we’ll likely play as many of our favorite songs as possible from
the last 10 years.”
The
intimate gathering also doubles as a launch for the band’s special
limited-edition merchandise, particularly the classic CHEATS logo shirt with
new colorways, re-released for those who haven’t had the chance to get one or
want to collect them all.
CHEATS also
expressed gratitude to the fans who have continuously supported their work all
these years. “Thanks to everyone who has supported the band, whether you’ve
been there since the early days or just discovered us fairly recently. This
will be our first show since last September, so we’re itching to play again for
all of you.”
CHEATS was
first formed by Jim Bacarro in 2013 and features Bacarro on vocals, keys, and
guitar; Saab Magalona and Candy Gamos on vocals; Manny Tanglao on bass; Jason
Caballa and Kyle Quismundo on guitars; and Enzo Hermosa on drums. The 7-piece
band has produced three critically acclaimed studio albums to date: 2016’s Cheats, 2017’s Before The Babies, and 2022’s Houseplants. They have also headlined
several music festivals here and abroad, such as Wanderland Music and Arts
Festival, Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival, Laneway Music Festival, and
AXEAN Festival, to name a few.
