The Philippines' friendliest rock band, ALAMID, was named after a nearly extinct wild mountain cat found only in the Philippines. This metaphor could be true and false at the same time…found only in our land…yes, but nearly extinct...? A definite NO. The name ALAMID has built in the entertainment industry through the years, has assured them of existence in the scene, as long as they make music. They are in almost every fiesta in the country, and in the different clubs and gymnasiums in the metro and the provinces, on a weekly basis, due to their consistency of making the people enjoy them selves whenever they are on stage. ALAMID revs-up the crowd with the energy of teeners and the musical skill of old time players. Equipped with a repertoire of widest variety plus ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS that are as powerful and as popular as their cover tunes. ALAMID is definitely a group of rare breed entertainers who can satisfy any kind of market.
ALAMID is one good band that has so much more to prove to the music industry, providing a quality sound which is even far better than our counterparts abroad. Doing original compositions is veritable survival kit for rock and roll hard times.
ALAMID boasts a wealth of experience honed through the years of playing. The band has toured Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan and Bahrain. This experience has given them a lesson or two in being professional musicians. Unlike its fauna counterpart’s indefinite tenure of existence, ALAMID is here to stay.

TRIVIA: What is an ALAMID?
The ALAMID or the PHILIPPINE CIVET CAT Paradoxurus philippinensis Jourdan is a catlike creature in the family Viverridae. The ALAMID (also known as the MUSANG) averages 3.2 kg (7 lbs), has a body length of 53 cm (21 in) and a tail length of 48 cm (19 in). It is a nocturnal omnivore. Ecologically, they are frequently compared to as filling a similar niche in Asia that the Common Raccoon fills in North America. Its primary food source are fruits such as chiku, mango, coffee cherries, and rambutan. It also has a fondness for palm flower sap which, when fermented, becomes toddy, a sweet liquor.
The ALAMID is an endangered species due to the unabated and hard-hearted destruction of its natural forest habitat.
