Cebu's Kept Secret CATTSKI

One day, a coconut fell on Cattski's head and while the offensive erstwhile fruit meant no harm, it somehow prodded our heroine into sharing her true talent to the world-- MUSIC.

Of course starting with the universal humble beginnings of shower conciertos, she then took it upon herself to throw herself at nice, unsuspecting bar owners, street corners and innocent bystanders... breaking into song at any second and scaring the bejesus out of them without the cursory polite warnings. This went on without notice until one day, out of appreciation for her raw talent (or a secret suicidal urge) a kind soul got her to make a public and ostentatious appearance at what was to become a historical landmark in the Cebuano music scene. This gig was called Intimate Acoustics back in 1999 and a few hapless talented musicians were coerced into being her rhythm section. Not surprisingly, mostly due to her musical genius, Cattski got a little bit of airtime and over some time, radioheads were either struck by the haunting quality of her voice, or got some very disturbing flashbacks of a very familiar voice that used to egg them on from a street corner, and so she gained a respectable popularity. What followed was a string of gigs, the most notable of which was Siren Souls 1 at Padi's Point. Among those who were drawn to her as a singer and a generally beguiling personality, some brave innocents approached her around the end of January 2000. Brian of White Satin, Anne of So Called 6th Sense Jam of Black Coffee Sundae timidly invited her to jam with them and what resulted was a not so smooth intertwining (actually a cacophonous) of elements of what we may ambitiously call music. Undaunted by their first jam session, they were later joined by Junnell-- a man with a talent for hitting things with sticks-- of Hard Candy.

The only thing left now was to pick a name. Without much debate they all settled on Cattski... familiar, comfortable yet vain. (Anne figured she'd convince them later to rename their band Anne). What followed was the launching of the band in an event called Siren Souls in Padi’s Point and from then on a string of gigs.
Over time they came to understand each others' moods and learned to take it out on their instruments instead, rather than get into physical blows. With irrepressible gusto, they threw themselves into rehearsals until it paid off with numerous shows and appearances. And still they insisted on sticking with the name Cattski (by this time Anne had resigned herself to the fact that they will forever be saddled with such a silly name).
At present, these people are neither dead nor missing. In fact, Cattski is still challenging the Cebuano people into finding fault in their melodious melding, one which is arguably getting close to being near flawless. And that's what makes them obtrusively conspicuous, yet charmingly CATTSKI.
