Parokya Ni Edgar

Parokya Ni Edgar is a Philippine rock band that has carved a unique niche in the music industry with their distinctive blend of pop rock and novelty songs. Formed in 1993, the band's name, which translates to "Parish of Edgar" in English, is a play on words with the members' fondness for offbeat humor and their alma mater, Ateneo de Manila University where they began performing as a comedy troupe. With a lineup featuring Chito Miranda as the lead vocalist, Buwi Meneses on bass, Darius Semaña and Gab Chee Kee on guitars, and Dindin Moreno and Vinci Montaner on drums and backup vocals respectively, the band has created a sound that resonates with a wide audience. Their songs often incorporate tongue-in-cheek lyrics and cover a range of styles from alternative rock to pop, showcasing their musical versatility.

Throughout their career, Parokya Ni Edgar has remained a staple in the Filipino music scene, releasing a succession of successful albums and hit songs. The band's loyal fanbase has enjoyed their evolution through albums like "Pogi Years Old," which stays true to their quirky roots, and "Middle-Aged Juvenile Novelty Pop Rockers," reflecting a slightly more mature, yet still playful side of the group. Other projects such as "Inuman Sessions, Vol. 2 (Live)" capture the raw energy and camaraderie of the band's live performances, which has been integral to their longstanding appeal. With a career spanning over two decades, Parokya Ni Edgar continues to entertain and connect with fans, old and new, through their humorous lyrics, catchy melodies, and relatable themes.
