Gary Ignacio, co-forms new band SID
Former Alamid Vocalist Gary Ignacio co-forms a new band named SID with former original Alamid members Jay Sto. Tomas and Efryl De Dios together with original Immaculate drummer and another former Alamid member Gail Ignacio and FMD Bassist Carlo Hautea forming the nucleus of new group.
The formation of SID began even before Gary’s departure from Alamid. During a get-together with Jay and Efryl, they ended up jamming a couple of tunes and finally decided to try if they still had the magic to make originals songs. The trio began collaborating and found that they were still in sync with each other as if they didn't part ways back in the late 90’s. One after another the new materials emerged. At this point, they decided to make a project band with just the three of them doing all the musical chores. After all, the whole point was to make an album that embodied their collective desire to create original music, and be able to share it with the public.
After Gary formally left Alamid, the trio decided it was time to fill in the gaps in the band. First to come onboard was Gary’s brother Gail to fill the vacant drummer position. Afterwards, Gary invitied Carlo Hautea of FMD to fill in the role of bassist during a birthday party for one of the members of MMA (Malabon Musicians Alliance), and the roster of SID was finally completed.
SID is now concentrating on recording their first album which is a blend of new wave and alternative rock and are currently doing gigs at various venues and events.
