DUSTER – that quintessential piece of clothing worn by the Filipina in all her incarnations: nymphet in flimsy white cotton, mother replete with falling bra strap and baby in one arm, and of course, lola in yards of floral explosion, arms open, ready to give you her signature kissniff on your cheek.

The band name had been floating around Myrene’s head for years, reserved for a future all-girl group, which finally came around when Raimund Marasigan got Lourd de Veyra to write some lyrics for a collection of music lying around in the studio. Getting Katwo and Kris was a no-brainer since everyone just wanted to work with each other. Finding a drummer was a bit trickier. Until Ristalle showed up and blew everyone away.

So here’s Duster, recently released an album entitled, SWEETHEART SNACKBAR under Sony BMG and still trying out their musical legs with every live performance that’s equal parts experience, uncertainty and bravado. Another collaboration/ project/ super group? Sure, but who cares? It’s only music. And some people like to make it when they can.

Music

With Raimund Marasigan and Lourd De Veyra to back them up, Duster may be classified to produce upbeat pop-rock music. Having “punk-ish” songs and danceable beats, Duster daringly transformed OPM scene into modernity.

Their songs, “Dek-a-Doodle-Dandy” and “Gucci Gang” have been welcomed warmly by listeners as it entered Pinoy MYX Countdown and received good radio airplay.
