I met this band around June of last year, got introduced to them by a common friend Jennifer Illustre (Vanilla Girl and PLDT Spokeperson/Model), she being a former member of the band. We were at Friends El Pueblo that time and it was really jampacked. It was ladies night that time and there were a lot of women around (ha! ha!). We were presented with three ladies: Kat (who was standing in for the sick Caroline), Mae and Yasmin; who were performing their hearts out to the delight of the crowd. Once again, I was yanked into the stage to sing along with them. It was a wednesday so there was work tomorrow. But nevertheless, we went home at two in the morning.
We got a taste of the full ensemble when we watched them at Chef & Brewers in Ortigas. And hey, most of the group got so addicted that we were watching them week after week after week. Hell, I was partying everyday during that period.
So what is Silk. Silk is one of the leading cover bands in the Philippines today. They perform songs from different groups like Swing Out Sister, Everything but the girl, The Corrs and a whole lot more. They seem to be Eighty-ish. But who am I to complain, I grew up with those songs.
The silk frontline is now composed of Caroline, Mae and AJ, since Yasmin quit the band for a higher calling (marriage?). They are still at it and you can watch them in different bars around.
More Power
