It's the classic trip hop set-up: three quiet guys in the background to tweak knobs and play instruments, with a hot female vocalist to enthrall the audience with her voice. But Drip goes beyond mere trip hop band cliches: they are meta-glamorous, a little dark and seductively experimental. "Capable of giving you simulated bliss," wrote the Manila Times about the quartet.

With an EP independently released in August of 2003 and constant live performances, Drip's cult status has grown with Manila's musical cognoscenti, especially with the release of their second full-length album Identity Theft. DRIP are Beng Calma-Alcazaren on vocals; Malek Lopez on keyboards, sound design and programming; Caliph8 on turntables and FX; and Ian "Morse" Magbanua on beats, samples and programming.

Here's a preview of the band with their song 'Morning After':

Drip will be headlining Heineken Music presents Impulse: A Junk Music Project come 22 August, 8.30pm together with Altered Image, M and The Hoo. Come join us at Heritage Mansion for some music and mayhem. Admission is free!
