hi

here's a bit of history for my current bandmates and for those who care about candyaudioline.

candy's first bassist was a girl from up named obie. she happened to be one of my closest friend at that time ('97). by early '98 she was replaced by bing who was recommended by romel of sonnet 58. not much of a pretty face but she was definitely a real bassist unlike obie who was more of magazine pin-up figure than a band material.

by middle of '98, bing quit the band after candy's first "in the raw" appearance. (she later admitted that she was only after radio exposure) she was later replaced by then 15 year-old beejay who at that time had no idea on how to play the bass but got admitted into the band for three reasons: one - she owns one of the most visually attractive and ultra-light bass guitar with one of the coolest brand names (megabass) ever, two - this girl is very pretty and ooozzing with sex appeal and three - yours truly had a very big crush on one of her friends. she had a short stint as candy-bassist because she was to migrate to the states. this signalled the return of obie who at that time , really improved on her skills. first as a sessionist bassist then decided to join in as things were beginning to shape up for the band. that didn't last long because after 3 months, she decided to quit the band (along with our original vocalist) to concentrate with her studies. beejay was taken back in because her magration was still up in the air and she didn't enrolled that school year. a month later obie returned along with cheng. beejay and then new candy vocalist apol got booted out. not wanting to get separated from beejay and specially apple, yours truly decided to form another band which eventually became soft pillow kisses. that was '99. candy (and pillow) never had line-up problems from that time until early 2000 when obie decided again to leave the band for good due to commitment problems. lara was introduced to me by a friend but before that me and beejay already saw lara playing guitars for then up and coming YUCKPOP quintet _________. she played bass for candy for about a year or so before quitting the band for reasons beyond the grasp of human comprehension. beejay sessioned once in while until yours truly met ayn through irc chat. admittedly we thought that getting ayn was a mistake because aside from her being drunk 25 hours out of a 24 hour day. she was then very slow in learning some of the songs (one of the reasons why joey quit the band). i stuck out with her anyway because aside from the free rides she offers, her attitude towards the band was really heart warming. she was all-out for candy. well it paid off, 5 months into candy ayn was really letting lose. contributing not only in money and transpo but also putting in her own bass lines at that... at present, she's still there and hopefully will be there until the time that we decide to end candyaudioline and focus on our being EATFREAKS... HEHEHE.

by the way, during the latter part of ayn's pregnancy, we got the services of sonia. she played three gigs for candy two as bassist and one as singer. she now sing for a ska band whose name i can't recall...

ayus bah?
