SPONGE COLA for 2012 Beale Street Music Festival

Gosh. Armo. Ted. Yael. Do these names ring a bell to you? Well I hope so. They are members of a very popular band here in the Philippines called Sponge Cola. A band I admired since I was in college (even if they came from a rival University). Their talent  are so original and pure.  Did you know that this Filipino pop/rock band will hit Memphis next month? Huwaaaaaaaaaaaattttttt? Oh yes! This band who has been consistent in delivering  us their collection of original and certified hit songs will be the one to represent our country in the upcoming Beale Street Music Festival which will be happening on May 4 to 6. Impressive. Indeed.
