With the mission of transporting
you off your physical being, Out of Body Special promises to get you
out of yourself when they play, as they transport you to some
distant memory, dream or fantasy, giving you an experience

Composed of Carlos Magno on
vocals, Diego Beltran and Ted Diaz doubling the percussion, Patrick
Co and Martin Veerayah strumming the guitars, Garon Honasan on
saxophone, Ted Mark Cruz on drums and Niño Avenido, the man on
bass, completes the set. In 2004, Magno got together with Co,
Beltran, Avenido, Diaz and Cruz, they jammed one song, after
recording it, they were offered a gig which resulted in them finally
wanting to be a band. Soon, Honasan and Viraya joined as the final
piece of the eight-man band.
