Why the name Automatics?
There are several reasons. Partly from Blondie’s album called AutoAmerican. They prefer Automatics since AutoPinoy doesn’t have a ring to it… It may also have something to do with the original vocalist’s surname, Matic.
Band history?
It started as a joke between yours Alex Paita and Heidi Pascual (keyboards, vox), in mid-2005, back when she was working in the same office as me. Then things got serious.
Weeks later, Alex asked JP Balboa, who’s a good friend, to play bass and Lloyd, my cousin, to do drums.
