Kamikazee
played their first gig in 2000 as "toy band",
which led to opening for friends, Parokya ni Edgar,
eventually changing their name to "Kamikazee Cornflakes"
later on shortened to just Kamikazee. After months of
playing all over for any imaginable crowd, they finally
landed their first record deal in 2003. Their self titled
debut released in December 2002, included hits like
"Chinelas" which went to # 1 in 2003. "Ung
Tagalog" which was recognized as Best Alternative
Recording by the Awit Awards, and their cover of the
Britney Spears song "Lucky" which won as Best
Music Video at the MTV Pilipinas Awards 2003. In the
same year, Kamikazee was the Listener's Choice at the
2003 NU 107 Rock Awards. With Allan Burdeos as the Drummer
of the Year. Two years later at te 2005 NU Rock Awards,
they were hailed as the year's Best Live Act, proving
themselves later that night, with an electrifying performance
of "Chicksilog" which was also nominated as
Song of the Year.

"Chicksilog"
peaked at %1 at NU 107's Midnight Countdown finsihing at the
# 0 spot of their 2005 Yearend Countdown. It also crossed
over to other radio stations and the hilarious music video
was on regular rotation in music channels like MYX and MTV.
In the late 2005, Kamikazee unleashed "Narda" a
metaphor for the subject of true love that is tragically unrequited.
The single caught on like wildfire and is currently flying
to the top of the charts. This "Narda" music video
directed by Ace Enriquez recently premiered on MYX with great
reviews, making their media presence even more felt.
"Chicksilog"
and "Narda" are both part of Kamikazee's latest
album under Universal Records called "Maharot",
which best describes the band's playful, restless energy and
wild imagination.
