TONIGHT, indie rock fans are flocking to Makati live music hub Café Saguijo for a rare indulgence: Sheola and the Insects live in Manila (Sati).

Sati, an independent rock act from Cebu, has garnered a loyal cult following since its inception in 1994. The band experienced a silent breakup in 2004, but loyal fans of its music would not allow its demise. Inspired by the genius of post-punk/art-rock gods The Cure, Sonic Youth, The Smiths, and The Clash, Sati reemerged, reconstructed, and reclaimed its almost lost rock n? roll hive.

Sati?s four full album releases to date are: Tangible Rhymes (1999), Plastic Eyes Static Minds (2000), Manipulator (2002), and Flowerfish (2005), the last and most successful album the band released. ?Quick to Panic,? off the Flowerfish album, is among their most popular singles. They also have a few singles independently released including a cover of Apo Hiking Society?s classic ?Softly? that was included in the 2-CD + DVD set titled ?The Best of Kami nAPO Muna.?

The band is working on exciting new singles for release this year. Guests of the show will be in for a real treat: Sati will be premiering some of these tracks live for their enthusiastic Manila audience.

The current incarnation of Sati includes members Orven Enoveso on vocals and guitars, Ian Zafra on guitars, Wesley Chiongbian on bass and Jerros Dolino on drums.

Welcoming the Southern rock gentlemen for the evening are local acts The Camerawalls, Kate Torralba, and Paranoid City. It?s going to be a rocking show!
