MEMBERS:
IRVIN "Bad Boy" BABAUTA, Lead Vocalist Influences: Sublime / 311 Former Bands: Taga and the Haoles, Rednecks (Idaho) Stage Name: Taga Taga can best be described as an entertaining front man who combines styles ranging from local, reggae, ska, and rock. Taga knows how to really entertain a crowd and knows what it takes to make them respond. Whether it be Locals, or even foreigners, Taga has been known to captivate the audience and even influence them to do his bidding. He is also responsible for giving Split Attitude a number of tracks of original music on the Island Habitz album. With his idea of original lyrics and composing words, Taga is able to enchant his audience with new, fresh original sounds for the people.
JOHN "Tricky" TORRES JR. Lead Guitarist Influences: Randy Rhoads, Vito Bratta, Akira Takasaki, Vinnie Moore, and Michael Schenker. Former Bands: Nightwind (Hon., HI), B.U.B. (Hon., HI), Homegrown (Saipan, MP), Lost Tribe (Saipan, MP), Zig Zag (Saipan, MP), Synergy (Salem, Oregon), Rock it Science (Salem, Oregon), The Reefs (Saipan, MP) Stage name : Zuner Zuner, the group's organizer and acting manager has brought some success for Split Attitude. He has managed to get a good number of gigs on Saipan. Through his persistence and demand for cooperation amongst the group, he managed to pull off a double gig at the Hotel Nikko in Saipan and on the same night at the Dynasty in Tinian on a New Year's Eve without causing any delays or mix-ups. Even with numerous ferry trips between Saipan and Tinian, setting up and breaking down of equipment at the Hotel Nikko in Saipan, and catching a last minute bus to the ferry dock, Zuner and the band's efforts pulled through successfully. Zuner is also the main backup vocalist for the band and has a knack for creating harmonious lines which compliments Taga's vocals.
GLENN "Maniac" SABLAN, Man on Guitar Influences: Metallica, Def Leppard, Skid Row, Poison, G&R, Motley Crue Former Bands: The George Delos Reyes / Glenn Sablan Project After years of searching for the right Bassman, Glenn was finally hired to fill the spot. He proved to be talented, dedicated, loyal, and overall had the right attitude which blends perfectly with the Split Attitude team. Surprisingly, when Glenn first joined the band, he broke out with some of his own catchy originals that live up to the Split Attitude signature sound (4 of which are on the album Island Habitz). You better watch this guy in the near future, because he definitely has all the right stuff to make Split Attitude put Saipan on the map. Believe it or not, Split Attitude happens to be the first real band he has hooked up with. Definitely the right person for the job. Need we say more?
REX "ANIMAL" BORJA, aka "Rex'N'Efekt", Drummer Influences: Former bands: Bio: Drum Tech: Trish the dish
Fred Guerrero, bass (more info coming soon)
Split Attitude's Ultimate Goals: 1. To sell their first album, "Island Habitz" locally, on the neighboring islands of the CNMI, and on Guam. 2. To sell the "Island Habitz" album elsewhere in the Pacific and in certain regions of Asia where our music is found to be acceptable. 3. To play at concerts and travel in the Asia Pacific region. 4. To be the first CNMI band to put Saipan on the music scene map.
