Gracenote is 12 years now,it seems that it was just yesterday since the day they joined the "NESCAFE Soundskool" battle of the bands competition last 2008. By the way, I was given a chance to watch their performance in "NESCAFE Soundskool" together with my favorite band 6Cyclemind and I was very overwhelmed see both wonderful bands sharing stage together. That was really lit!
There were 13 finalist in NESCAFE Soundskool 2008 and during that time, I was supporting 3 of them; first is Gracenote, second is Letter Day Story and third is Hooligans. These are

Aside from Hooligans and Letter Day Story, Gracenote is really my bet to win the spot in Soundskool before, regardless if they shared stage with 6Cyclemind or not, I REALLY LIKE THEM.
#Nostalgia alert, I miss those old days as a fanatic girl... Time really fly so fast!
Anyway, I got a trivia for you guys. Did you know that Tatsi Jamnague's sister is the vocalist of Hooligans Band, who's also one of the finalists in Nescafe Soundskool 2008? Therefore they're the batchmate of Gracenote and now Kuya Tatsi is part of the GRACENOTE band.What a SMALL WORLD, isn't it?
(Just sharing the trivia for those who doesn't know it, yet. If you're aware about it then ignore my trivia. #SKL)
Now, Gracenote is one of the most finest and successful band in the industry. They collaborated with many other well known artist and sometimes they front act in different international concert held in the Philippines. The band is composed of Eunice Jorge (Vocalist), Tatsi Jamnague's (Guitarist), Jazz Jorge (Bassist) and Ej Pitchay (Drummer). Their former members were Alvin Ortiz and Chen Pangan.
The band never failed to showcase an extraordinary performances in their gigs and other appearances. They make people sing, jump and rock n' roll with their best hits:
They also have series of music videos and I had an experienced joining as cameo in one of their MV for the song," Minsan Lang Naman". That was the longest time that I was able to bond with the band. Here I go again reminiscing old memories...
The band also attends different radio and TV guestings. Sometimes I watch them live in RX Concert Serier at RX 93.1's radio station but most of the time I watch their gigs in the bar or mall shows.
