Cueshé (pronounced as Q-shay) is a six-member Filipino-based pop-alternative band. Its members all hail from the city of Cebu.
Biography
Cueshé encountered many personal problems before being moving to Manila. They used to practice their music in the bedroom of their current drummer/songwriter/bandleader Mike Manaloto--it was the band’s makeshift rehearsal studio. After practice, they would have Banana Cue, a cheap but nutritious Filipino street food for snacks, as it was what they could afford as students. This became the inspiration for the first syllable of the band's name. The “shé”, pronounced 'shay,' comes from the gender of the vocalist, who was she-male. According to the band, an accent was added at the end of Cueshé to make it attractive to hear.
Jay Justiniani, after surviving a near-death motorcycle mishap in December 24, 2001, replaced the she-male vocalist.
To make ends meet, bassist and songwriter Fritz Labrado drove jeepneys in Cebu with lead guitarist Jovan Mabini as his willing assistant and collector. Jovan taught himself to play the guitar with an instrument borrowed from a friend. Mike traded imported cigarettes for local bars in Cebu, while the rest focused on their studies. All the while, they continued their weekly jamming sessions.
Guitarist/lead vocalist Ruben Caballero later joined the group. His contribution to the band evolved from only doing vocals with Jay to playing the guitar. Pianist/Keyboardist Jhunjie Dosdos came into the band with musical experience from his younger years. He joined numerous singing contests when he was still a kid. In his former band, he performed vocals and guitars.
In March 2005, the band took a risk by moving to the capital to become full-time musicians. They were urgently signed up and rushed to the studio.
The band has currently been facing several issues, one of which is the allegation that the band ripped-off Silverchair's "The Greatest View" and Simple Plan's "Perfect" chord progressions/tempo for their debut song, "Stay". The band is also rumored to have been using other talent outside the band to help compose the songs. They have since feuded with local acts such as Spongecola, Hale, Bamboo and Razorback about the said issue.
