Mariposa*s Demise

"What the hell does the name Mariposa's Demise mean?" is probably the first question that popped out in your head when you saw the name. Well, it literally means... Fall of a butterfly."Fall of a who and what now?" is the next question in your puny little mind. We, the band, adapted this name and incorporated its essence into our music. Just like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, we usually start our music off slow and moody. As it reaches its peak, zig-zagging into the horizon, our music boldly explodes and unfolds its true colors. Finally, as our song ends, this butterfly will experience its doom. It will lie on the ground waiting for somebody, a someone, a YOU, for it to be picked up, dissected, and maybe appreciated. *** We are a band with three vocalist who loves to experiment,and mix diff. genres to avoid sounding like any other bands and to be recognize through our original sound.. *** The band was formed on the month of Jan. 2005 with josh on vox,eli on guitars,eman on drums and mico on bass.after a few weeks eli and eman reunited with former bandmate andreau who instantly became the lead guitarist.They called themselves The Killer Champola(Champola is a famous brand name of a wafer stick that kids in the philippines loved to eat).Then We Changed the name to Mariposa's Demise but we thought it was a long word for a band name so Dru came up with Datu... Datu -Datu is the title for ancient tribal chieftains in the pre-hispanic Philippines. Together with Sultan and Raja they are also titles of royalty and currently used in Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia and are the equivalent of Dukes, Marquis, etc.. Datu was derived from Malay words dato' or datok, which are the royal titles of the Malays.*** But then Our Music didn't blend with our band name so we dicided to be MAriposa's Demise Again. Now we're ready to kick ass on stage with our unique blend of genres!!!http://www.pimpmyarea.com
