Through a very colorful start during their high school days back in 1998 up to the present day, The Happymeals have earned their reputation as one of the most anticipated funk / rock bands to come out in the open in Metro Manila. The band independently released a self-titled EP, has appeared in over two hundred shows, put out a single in NU107 FM, had a number one download slot in an online Filipino mp3 community, earned a steadily growing mailinglist, an online discussion thread and has won and placed in a lot of local band contests all over Metro Manila.
The Happymeals play mighty sounding happy rock songs influenced by the style of blues and funk. How well they play together (and how much fun are they to watch) is demonstrated by their endless excitement in playing gigs and amount of feedback they receive from the people who have come to their shows and bands whom they have played with over the years.
The band has gone around playing in Metro Manila moderately with a variety of local groups. The Happymeals have shared stages with notable acts such as Chicosci, Dicta License, Kjwan, COG, Razorback, Rivermaya, Kamikazee, Slapshock, Greyhoundz, Sandwich and Cheese among others. Playing a moderately busy schedule of clubs, the band has managed to get in front of roughly 20,000 people from their first to their most recent gig.
The Happymeals are presently finishing a full-length album due out late this 2005. They are performing steadily in Metro Manila and will be planning for their upcoming album launch soon
