Yael Yuzon on SPONGE COLA, finding a new drummer, and how K-Dramas influence his songwriting | EP. 9

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. I turned 40 years old the day we shot this episode. Time really flies by without you knowing it. But, what better way to celebrate it than to have someone who I literally grew up with. We were high school batchmates, as well as members of the high school theater club. We were in a couple of high school bands together, but we ended up being part of a band that changed our lives. He was a groomsman in my wedding, and we both share a love for Park Eun Bin. Fangirls and Fanboys, Yael Yuzon of Sponge Cola.00:00 Preview00:46 Intro02:07 When did you know that you could sing?02:50 Yael's earliest memory of Chris03:47 Highschool bands04:27 Forming Sponge (without Cola)07:36 When Chris joined the band09:20 From Sponge to Sponge Cola10:39 The power of Crazy For You and Kazaa12:36 The EP13:37 Palabas16:45 Transit18:10 Why Chris decided to leave the band20:23 Sponge Cola the trio22:58 How Ted Mark fit into the band25:07 Being a performer in the age of social media26:19 Strengths and mistakes of up and coming artists30:04 What you're currently fanboying over33:31 Tattoos36:53 Writing songs about K-Dramas38:32 Queen of Tears Obsession43:26 Sponge Cola in 202545:05 Final words
