Crude Oz's first gig was in March, 2007, at a small bar called O-drive, in Makati. The band played 5 songs in front of a few people in the audience.
Since then, Crude Oz has played at the following venues: Purple Haze, Rj Bar, 6 Underground, Freedom Bar, Club Dredd, Kublai's, Kampai Bar, 9Mile, Sausage Bar... still in front of a few people in the audience.
Crude Oz's chief songwriter is Deo. When asked to describe his music, he says: "A lot of musicians come out trying to be different, to stand out from other musicians, I am not one of those musicians. The music that I make is the result of the emotions and experiences that I felt when I made the songs. Sometimes it may sound original, sometimes it may sound like someone else... it doesn't matter to me. I am merely trying to express myself."
Crude Oz's song Nasaan Ka and invisible chains was chosen as NU 107's Standout Track of the Week in january 2008 and november 2008, respectively.

Crude Oz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you found me
I was hurtin
But you healed me
I had questions
But you gave me the answers in life
That I was looking for
But you made me feel calm
I was lonely and cold
But you made me feel warmth
I was down and out and broken
But you made me feel
Some hope in my life
That I never felt before
You lifted me up
When my life was a rut
When my time was all up
I was down on my luck
You were there and you didn't give up
Took my hand
Placed it there by your side
Gave me reason to smile
You made it all seem worthwhile and for once I felt I was alive
When I felt alone
You would hold my hand
When I couldn't find the reason (why)
You'd make me understand
Yes you saved me from the emptiness and you filled my heart with the love
That I was looking for
You lifted me up
When my life was a rut
When my time was all up
I was down on my luck
You were there and you didn't give up
Took my hand
Placed it there by your side
Gave me reason to smile
You made it all seem worthwhile and for once I felt I was alive
