The Band
Harbats, the enigmatic band hailing from the vibrant streets of Manila, Philippines, and bringing their own flavor to the iconic Manila sound.
Don't let their relaxed demeanor fool you. They'll take the stage for an audience of one or a packed house with equal passion.
Armed with infectious grooves, catchy melodies, and soulful vocals, Harbats' music will take you on a journey.
Bernie AsisThe Illicit Lovechild of a jukebox queen and karaoke rebel. Raised on crooners, he found his groove as a crow wooing pigeons. His lyrics? Like confetti in a bar brawl. His music? May inspire spontaneous dancing and uncontrollable cravings for champorado.
Michael PeraltaHis musical misadventures started with his parents' Akai vinyl player and a Michael Franks LP. He dabbled in piano and successfully failed in achieving virtuoso-level. He overcompensates by playing drums. He's still (and will always be) a rabid Spice Girls fan.
From the hard-hitting beats of “Meryendabol” to the melancholic strains of “Hansolo” and the soulful melodies of “Kumot,” their songs paint a vivid picture of love, life, and the absurdities of relationships.
Proudly written in Filipino, their lyrics delve into the complexities of human emotions, often blowing them out of proportion yet always holding a grain of truth.
Formed in 2014 by Bernie Asis and Mike Peralta, the band's lineup includes Bernie on vocals and bass, Mike on drums and keys. Each member brings their own unique talents and influences to the table, contributing to the band's diverse and dynamic sound.
