During their front act gig at the University of the East, they met Alan Ortiz, who then worked his way into organizing the various business matters of the band. As they worked with their new-found manager, the band got in the regional eliminations of the Nescafe Soundskool last October 18, 2008, where they got a chance to enter the finals.
After a short tour and some mentoring by the Nescafe Soundskool team at Boracay, the band went on to their main event, The Finals Night at the Ultra Sports Complex: The event that proved to be one of the highlights of the band’s history. There, they shared the stage with 6 Cyclemind to play the song Sandalan, and Gracenote’s original song, “Far Away”. Although they did not win in the event, they gained valuable experience and friends they will never forget.
Several gigs and a few months later, Gracenote once again joined another competition, the DZUP: College Collision Year 2. This was an annual fundraiser event held by DZUP that was held at Tiendesitas last March 15, 2009. There they won first place.
As of this writing, Gracenote has now just released its first self-entitled EP album.
Gracenote comes from the musical term “grace note”, a notation that signifies an ornament that serves to decorate a part of a song. For some, decorations seem small and unnecessary, but in the world of music, these little superfluities can make all the difference.
We are a collection of artists whose collective goal is to simply make good music. As individuals however, we are funny, eccentric, and sometimes totally out of this world. Yet we still manage to create songs that seem so familiar yet so different from anything you’ve ever heard.

Ano na naman ang bagong istorya mo
Wag umasang maniniwala
Pagkat sawa na ko sa alibi mo
Binibilog mo na naman ang ulo ko
Kahit ano pang sabihin pagod na sa yo
Oh. Nakalimutan mo na ba ang pangako mo
May umagang magbabago
Sabi mo noon di sa tulad mo
Nagsisisi, nakapiling
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
Oh. Paulit ulit na lang ang mga reklamo
Ang tamis ng ngiti mo'y unti unting nauubos
Oh. Araw araw ay may pagbabago
Ang galing mo, hinding hindi mo na ako mapapaikot
May umagang magbabago
Sabi mo noon di sa tulad mo
Nagsisisi, nakapiling
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
Bakit may amnesia
Siya ba ang dahilan
Bakit may amnesia
Siya ba ang dahilan
Bakit may amnesia
Siya ba ang dahilan

The song "Amnesia" by Gracenote talks about a person who has had enough of their partner's lies and false promises that they have been telling over and over again. The first verse says that it has been hours since they have seen each other, but the singer is not interested in hearing their partner's new story or believing their lies anymore because they just feel exhausted and tired of it all. They have been tricked so many times by their partner that they do not want to be spun by them anymore. The next verse talks about how the partner keeps playing with the singer's mind and how their words are not enough to trick them anymore. They ask their partner if they have forgotten the promises that they made earlier, and that they will stop indulging in their childish behavior.
However, the chorus speaks about a different emotion. The singer sings that they have been with someone who is like them, who has amnesia when it comes to changing their ways. Regardless of how many times they raise their voice, how many times they cry or even how many times they lose their temper, their partner always forgets their mistakes and repeats them. They question why their partner has amnesia, and wonder if it is their fault for being the reason. Or, are they just with someone who cannot change their ways? The final lines repeat how the singer's partner is just like them, and both of them have amnesia, which implies that perhaps they are both not willing to acknowledge their mistakes and learn to let go of them.

Ilang oras bago nagkita
It's only been a few hours since we've seen each other
Ano na naman ang bagong istorya mo
What's the new story you have this time?
Wag umasang maniniwala
Don't expect me to believe it
Pagkat sawa na ko sa alibi mo
Because I am tired of your excuses
Binibilog mo na naman ang ulo ko
You're messing with my head again
Kahit ano pang sabihin pagod na sa yo
No matter what you say, I am tired of you
Nakalimutan mo na ba ang pangako mo
Did you forget your promise?
Na di mo na uulitin mga kalokohan mo
That you won't repeat your foolishness
May umagang magbabago
There will be a morning of change
Sabi mo noon di sa tulad mo
You said before it won't be like you
Nagsisisi, nakapiling
Regretful and lonely
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
Oh. Paulit ulit na lang ang mga reklamo
Oh. The complaints keep repeating
Ang tamis ng ngiti mo'y unti unting nauubos
The sweetness of your smile is slowly fading
Araw araw ay may pagbabago
Every day there is change
Ang galing mo, hinding hindi mo na ako mapapaikot
You're very good, but you won't fool me again
Bakit may amnesia
Why do you have amnesia?
Siya ba ang dahilan
Is she the reason for it?
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
May umagang magbabago
There will be a morning of change
Sabi mo noon di sa tulad mo
You said before it won't be like you
Nagsisisi, nakapiling
Regretful and lonely
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
May umagang magbabago
There will be a morning of change
Sabi mo noon di sa tulad mo
You said before it won't be like you
Nagsisisi, nakapiling
Regretful and lonely
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
Ang tulad mong may amnesia
One like you who has amnesia
