Eevee Wins Nescafe Soundskool 2009 Competition

Rizal Stadium in Manila rocked last night with 13 celebrity bands and 13 top college bands from all over the Philippines as they converged for the Nescafe Soundskool 2009 College Band Competition Finals Night where the Eeevee band emerged victorious.

After months of eliminations and performances in different parts of the Philippines and a week-long workshop in Boracay under the mentorship of music experts and top celebrity bands, the search for this year's ultimate new band was concluded with Eevee bagging the P250,000.00 cash.

Led by Eevee vocalist and Sandwich's Raimund Marasigan look-alike, Enzo Miguel Villegas was all cheers with the other members Paolo Raymundo Segura, Jerrick Adrian Sy, and Craig John Neniel. Paolo is on lead guitar while Jerrick and Craig John handles bass and drums, respectively.
