Eggboy “98-05” Now available @ bandcamp.com


Eggboy “98-05” is an anthology of Diego Mapa’s home recording persona “Eggboy” from 1998-2005. These tracks were fleshed out into 3 E.P.s “Taste Test?!”, “The Unknown Wrestler”, and “Everyday Starting Today”.

Eggboy is Diego trying to replicate his idols Moneymark, Ben Lee, Cornelius, The Crabs, The Beach Boys, The Zombies, and even Cinderella (Manila) to name a few. In result, in some tracks you can hear a single distorted guitar with vocals or Casio keyboard jams with a drum machine— driven by hush vocals, catchy melodies, and honest lyrics. All tracks were recorded in 4-track cassette.

The E.P.s were released in CD-R format and were sold through gigs and some specialty stores such as Eskinita in Taytay and also the defunct UFO. Only a few hundred were replicated and produced with the help of distros and indie labels Monopond and dOCUMENTO Records.

After a decade, now available for the first time for digital download, Eggboy “98-05” includes underground classics “Wag Magalala”, “Just can’t let you stay”, “Nagsasawa ka na ba?”, “Lost with you”, and “Jealous jalousies”.
