1) Sandwich was founded in 1998 by Raimund Marasigan and Diego Castillo for the purpose of fulfilling their mutual desire to work together. Castillo recruited former band mates (from The Aga Muhlach Experience) Mike Dizon (of The Teeth) to play drums and Myrene Academia to handle bass duties. Marasigan was a judge at a contest where Marc Abaya jammed to a Beastie Boys song with his band, Shirley Beans.

Although existing simultaneously with the Marasigan's foremost band at that time, Eraserheads, Sandwich provided a heavier, grittier sound, and built up their own fan base. Abaya was still in college at the time, and Marasigan would still tour occasionally with the Eraserheads, but these weren’t hindering factors for Sandwich, as there were many sessionists ready to take over in case of a member’s absence.

They signed with then-BMG Records, now known today as Sony-BMG Music, and released their debut album, Grip, Stand, Throw, with much success, thanks to its carrier single, "Butterfly Carnival."

The band won three awards at the 1999 NU 107 Rock Awards: Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Song of the Year.

They released their second album, Four-Track Mind, in 2000; it was awarded Album of the Year at the Rock Awards in 2001.

Sandwich then parted ways with BMG Records and released their third album, Thanks To The Moon’s Gravitational Pull, in 2003. It was under distribution by EMI Records Philippines.

Abaya left Sandwich in 2005, in an effort to cope with the difficulty of juggling his job as an MTV VJ, and his obligations to his other band, Kjwan. Marasigan has since taken over sole vocal duties.

After Abaya’s departure, the band wrote songs for soundtracks, like "Humanda Ka," which was done for the online game, Tantra, and "Nginiig" for the ABS-CBN show of the same name.

Mong Alcaraz of Chicosci joined the band late 2005 to solidify Sandwich’s new sound and assume guitar duties Abaya left behind.

They released their latest album, Five On The Floor, in early 2006.

In late-October 2006, their songs "Sugod" and "DVDx" became available in the online music game O2Jam.

The video for "Sugod" won five major awards at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Video Awards including Video of the Year, Best Director, and Best Editing.

Recently, Sandwich member Mong Alcaraz and Myrene Acamedia had won the best guitarist and best bassist in recent NU Rock Awards 2006 respectively.

2) Band hailing from Columbus, Ohio featuring members from bands as diverse as The Lindsay, Brainbow, The Fighting Weight, and The Tough and Lovely, and fronted by known estate-sale vinyl proprietor, Ron House. Randomly formed in 2007. on the occasion of Columbus' annual Rock Potluck.

Faye
Sandwich Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do u read me? Do u lie?
Brightly spinning purple sky
I’m a ninja, I’m a spy
No I’m not a samurai

Walking in my head again
Spraying purple gummy tears
Sliding skates of mushroom

Toes up in a flare
Cherry cola in my veins

Did she write you? Did you cry?
Is she dirty? R u high?
Ichi banned, Am I bored?
Please stop when we play this chord

(Faye) u have never been so right
(Faye) u have never been alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sandwich's song "Faye" present themselves as abstract and cryptic, making it difficult to fully understand the meaning behind them. However, one can interpret them in different ways, depending on their perspective. The opening lines, "Do u read me? Do u lie? Brightly spinning purple sky," might suggest an introspective speaker who's questioning the authenticity of someone else while admiring their mundane surroundings. The succession of lines, "I'm a ninja, I'm a spy, no, I'm not a samurai," hints at a longing for individuality and maybe even a cultural identity crisis. The following verses, "Walking in my head again, Spraying purple gummy tears, Sliding skates of mushroom, Toes up in a flare, Cherry cola in my veins," contain psychedelic and surreal imagery that could indicate a feverish or surreal mental state.

The refrain, which iterates "Faye, you've never been so right, Faye, you've never been alright" could refer to either justifying someone's actions or congratulating them on being correct, although the implications seem more negative. The interjection, "Please stop when we play this chord" may point to either physically stopping a potentially challenging situation, or metaphorically halting the advancement of the story or conversation.

In summary, "Faye" is a song that embraces abstract and surreal imagery to explore a range of themes, portrayed through an introspective and often ambiguous narrator.

Do u read me? Do u lie?
Are you listening to me or are you deceiving me?

Brightly spinning purple sky
The sky is a bright shade of purple and seems to be spinning

I’m a ninja, I’m a spy
I'm a skilled and secretive individual

No I’m not a samurai
I'm not a warrior from feudal Japan

Walking in my head again
My thoughts are overwhelming me again

Spraying purple gummy tears
Crying tears that resemble purple candy

Sliding skates of mushroom
Skating on mushrooms in my imagination

Toes up in a flare
My toes are raised in a stylish manner

Cherry cola in my veins
Feeling the effects of the caffeine in cherry cola

Did she write you? Did you cry?
Did she send you a message and did you cry after reading it?

Is she dirty? R u high?
Is she immoral and are you under the influence of drugs?
