History

Founding

Us-2 Evil-0's members have long been habitués of the local music scene. Henares occasionally sang with Ciudad (who were his high school classmates), and even recorded lead vocals on a few songs over their first three albums.[1] He also sings for anti-show band Blast Ople. Mich Dulce may be familiar to the average person as a fashion designer and former Pinoy Big Brother housemate, though she’s been in the music scene for years.[2] She recorded an entire album as the singer of Candyaudioline that never saw release. She was the vocalist of semi-riot grrl indie rock band Death By Tampon, which saw dissolution before they could release a proper album (a single made it to airwaves, though).Bassist Nix Puno has played with Twisted Halo.[3] Drummer Bogs Jugo came from Pupil and Daydream Cycle. Wincy Aquino Ong was a member of the first, best iteration of Narda, and also has a solo career as Patience Dear Juggernaut.[4]

Debut album

The album Dirty Debutantes was produced by Mikey Amistoso of Ciudad. The album contains 11 tracks. It was released independently in 2009, with a video for the track "This Might Heart Attack" released that October on MYX and MTV. It was later distributed by PolyEast Records.[5]

Greenwich Commercial

Their song "This Mighty Heart Attack" was used for a commercial for Greenwich Pizza, which starred actress Anne Curtis.
