Armas Luthang,this band was formed last June of 2005. Kenneth Melicado and Plip Ledesma, whose band SwitchJarz just disbanded, decided again to form a band. They then asked Vann Nalupano to play the drums and YuJin Gemarino to play the bass, with Plip being the vocalist. After weeks of unsuccesful practice, they then decided to really get a vocalist and that Plip would be on the bass and YuJin would be on the guitar. They then recruited Clem Lachica, the vocalist of the band Azzirk, which also disbanded on December of 2004. Since the band needed two vocalists, Clem then asked Nonoy Noel Romero, who is also his band mate at Azzirk, to join them as a vocalist. Lastly, they recruited Nat-Nat Altea, the only female member of the band, to play the keyboards. The band line-ip is now then completed.
After almost one year in the Ilonggo Music scene, Kenneth finished his studies and is now working, making him sometimes unavailable on gigs. Nat-Nat also left the band because she had to pursue her Nursing studies at Bacolod City. Clem is also now staying in his hometown of Barotac Nuevo and only comes back to Iloilo when the band has gigs. Just continue to support Armas Luthang and all the other Ilonggo bands. Spread the Sound of the South! xiao!
