_______________________________________________________________________
The band is composed of five members who met in college at
the College of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines
Diliman. Kamikazee's early gigs were mostly campus events in
UP Diliman like the annual UP Fair. Before they were signed,
they went by the name "Kamikazee Cornflakes," which was
eventually shortened to its current state as "Kamikazee" was
easier to remember. Their early shows included renditions of
the songs "Tsinelas", a cover of Ariel Rivera's "Sana Kahit
Minsan," and Britney Spears' Lucky. They were known for using
expletives, suggestive movements, and references to genitalia
in their UP Diliman performances.
Kamikazee released their first self titled album in 2002. The
album's carrier single was a rock cover version of the
Britney Spears song "Lucky". In 2005, the band released
'Chiksilog' as part of the compilation album Rok On!. Other
notable songs include 'Girlfriend', 'Ung Tagalog', 'Tsinelas'
and their cover song of Ariel Rivera's 'Sana Kahit Minsan'.
In 2006 they released their second album, Maharot. The
carrier single of the album was 'Narda', which is thought to
be about the fictional Filipina heroine Darna but is actually
about a guy who is dreaming for a girl he couldn't reach.
'Narda' was hugely popular in 2006, and was one of the most
played rock songs on the radio that year.
The band maintains close ties with another popular Philippine
band, Parokya ni Edgar (PNE). Chito Miranda, PNE's vocalist,
met the band members in college as he was also studying in
the College of Fine Arts. In events with Parokya ni Edgar on
the line-up, one band's singer would normally jam with the
other band. On Parokya ni Edgar's songs Jay frequently joined
Chito Miranda on songs like "Okatokat","Chikinini" and "The
Yes yes Show." Jay was the back-up vocal to PNE's hit song
"The Order Taker" while Jomal was on lead guitars. In turn,
Kaye Abad, Chito's girlfriend, was on back-up vocals in
Kamikazee's song "Martyr Nyebera."
