The brainchild of eight distinct personalities with pseudonyms, which add an interesting twist to their character as well as the band's name itself. The childish aura and demeanor is meant to entertain the audience with silly lyrics and twisted musical exploration, their influences ranging from "mild to wild"...Albeit serious when it comes to their music and not wanting to be labeled as a 'humor' band which is a one dimensional term, the band's music is “dumb”, and ridiculously fun. Defying choreography at its best… Tanya Markova.
Defying the norms Tanya Markova makes them an interesting band. At first the name sounds like a gay porn star, and that's the trademark of the band which reflects on their music. Unique with gratifying taste mixed with outrageous sounds. They can pass up as a group of circus clowns from the videogame Twisted Metal, that would make the Boyoyongs literally for the retards.
Because of their uncanny ability to create songs that are out of the box without loosing their with and humor-laden attitude it is hard to label of stereotype them. Ambitious to try different genres in music you can describe their songs any way you want-- sweet, catchy, immature, chopsuey, scary, and even confusing -- attributed to the fact that they have different musical tastes yet they in sync with each other when they play.
Initially formed late 2004, Tanya Markova was a pet project of 2 musically-inclined individuals who one day decided to just hang out and vent their frustration in life through cigarettes and stupid conversation.
Harlon Agsaoay (aka Norma Love, vocalist, co-songwriter, tambourine) informed Angelo del Pilar (aka Iwa Motors, vocalist, co-songwriter, bell ringer) that he had recently watched a Marilyn Manson documentary and thought he is an attention-seeking genius that’s why he became America’s public enemy when it comes to notoriety, the latter, who is Manson’s number one fan agreed-- and the rest is history. Iwa immediately thought of an idea to combine sappy melodies and scary, caricature-driven lyrics, then they decided to compose songs filled with sarcasm, idiocy, and childish ramblings.
During those times the song they’ve created were only meant to be a joke, with nonsensical titles like Hoy Bampira ako Takot ka na? (later shortened to Bampira and the first song they’ve ever completed).
They are now out with a spanking new self-titled album under MCA Music containing all original tracks to tickle your humor! The band’s eponymous album under MCA Music gives you a taste of all-original Filipino music with 21 tracks of songs and fillers that deals with extraordinary and out of this world themes.
Who would have thought that pop can this be wild? Imagine yourself and your friends in a wonderland singing songs about vampires, evil possession, ghosts, and supernaturals. Quite a bit ironic but it'll surely tickle your bones. Humor and horror in one firepower album. Definitely for the young at heart but not for heart surgery bypass candidates.
