Eevee is a four-piece Filipino band from Davao City. They emerged as champions of the Nescafe 3-in-1 Soundskool in 2009.[1][2]
History
[edit]The band was formed in 2009 as the Enzo Villegas Band. At that time, they joined the Nescafe 3 in 1 Soundskool, where they emerged as champions. As part of the prize, they signed with Sony Music. They relocated to Manila not long after and renamed as Eevee after the Pokémon of the same name.[3][failed verification]
In June 2010, they released their debut album Paramdam with "Gusto Ko Lang Ng Girlfriend" as the first single. The album was produced by ex-Eraserheads bassist and now The Dawn bassist Buddy Zabala, and Sancho Sanchez.[4][5] In February 2012, they released their second album Playtime with "Ang Sarap Maging Single" as its single.[6]
In 2017, after releasing an album and EP independently, they signed with Ivory Music. Since then, they released a slew of singles, including "Kargo" and a cover of an April Boy Regino hit "Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin".[7]
