Mas busog ang Tuesday tanghalian niyo lalo na at nakigulo ang Banda ni Kleggy with Mama Belle sa 'Sikat Sa Barangay.'

 

Non-stop ang tawanan with Kleggy, Rye, Berns at Bob. They are the OPM group behind the ‘jolly pop’ monster single ‘Discolamon' which is included in their 'Only in the Philippines' album. 

 

Get to know the band and their crazy antics more in this exclusive interview:

 

How was your band formed?

Kleggy: “Nagkakilala kami through Kean [Kean Cipriano of Callalily], then hanggang sa may pinasubukang kanta sa akin sina Rye at yun ‘yung kinanta ko, 'Bawal Na Gamot.' Hanggang ayun, pumasa naman daw ako [giggling]. Sabi nila maganda raw boses ko; puwede na [laughs].

 

What is the story behind your big hit ‘Discolamon’ and did you feel that it would be that successful?

Kleggy: ”Honestly hindi eh! Gusto lang talaga namin ‘yung vibe nung kanta tapos alam mo na masaya lang.”

 

Rye: “Yung kuwento nito parang gawin natin mayroon isang hari ng dance floor tapos may nakasayaw siya sa disco. Tapos every night inaabangan niya ‘yung naka-sayaw niya hanggang sa hindi na dumating, hindi na nagpakita. Pumupunta siya lagi dun para lumamon na lang.”

 

You were able to work with Kim Chiu in your music video. What was it like working with a big celebrity?

Kleggy: “Napakabait naman niya at napaka-down to earth.”

 

Why did you choose the title ‘Mahal Kita Pramis’ as your latest single?

Rye: “Isang lalaki, story siya kung paano siya manuyo, magpa-impress sa girlfriend niya lalo na may kasalanan siya.”

 

Can you name at least three musicians that you want to work with?

All members: “E-heads, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift”

 

Do you believe that guys who belong to a band get more admirers?

Kleggy: “Actually hindi kami ganun, baka ‘yung ibang banda. Hindi totoo 'yun. Baka nagkakataon lang. Kasi kami ang mahal namin ang isa’t-isa.”

 

What is your message to your fans and supporters?

Kleggy: “Mahal naming kayo pramis! At siyempre thank you is not enough. Alam niyo yan. Hindi kami magsasawa magpasalamat sa inyong lahat at naniniwala kayo sa bawat kanta na nagagawa ng Banda ni Kleggy, at sana tuloy-tuloy lang ang pag-suporta.”

 

Rye: “Tsaka suportahan nila lahat ng musika ng Pinoy.”
