Rico Blanco auditioned as a rhythm guitarist/keyboard player for a yet unnamed new band that was managed by Lizza Nakpil and Chito Roño. He, along with Nathan Azarcon became the first two members of that band. Guitar player Kenneth Ilagan and drummer Rome Velayo completed the initial lineup with Blanco singing vocals. Jessie Gonzales was recruited later on to do the vocals, and Marc Escueta replaced Velayo on drums. Later on, Perfecto de Castro and Bamboo Manalac replaced the guitarist and vocalist, respectively.

Koo-koo-ka-choo I shot the eggman
Under an April morning sky
Immersed in capuccino,
and dirty magazines
Like David Sylvian in my dreams
So from the second floor
A violent sound like laughter
Someone screams "St. Francis Square police!"
Pictures in the pond,
floating rather pointlessly
Sont les mots qui vont
"Please knock me down!"
Everyone says he was first
to be king of the underground
Finally, finally, dottee Home and free
Portobello weekender just you and me
