Gracenote is a Filipino pop rock band currently composed of Eunice Jorge (vocals, keyboards, guitars, violin), EJ Pichay (drums), Jazz Jorge (bass), and Tatsi Jamnague (guitars). They are known for their cover of Stevie B's "When I Dream About You". The single "Minsan Lang Naman" brought them success in the mainstream. They participated in Coke Studio Season 1 with Raymond "Abra" Abracosa, making the song "Stargazer" and covering Abracosa's "Ilusyon".
History
Members of Gracenote met at St. Scholastica's College, Manila. As with many bands, they started with small gigs. They entered a number of band competitions, and were named first runner-up at the Sing for Cancer Battle of the Bands 2008, finalist in Nescafe Soundskool 2008, and Grand Champion in DZUP: College Collision 2009.
In 2009, the band's original bass player Rico Cristobal left and was replaced by lead vocalist Eunice Jorge's brother Jazz Jorge.
In 2010, they performed at ABS-CBN's Music Uplate Live, and later released an 8-track album entitled First Movement under the management of Soupstar Entertainment. The single "Pwede Ako" topped the Pinoy MYX Countdown.
Their 8-track album First Movement, produced by 6cyclemind’s Rye Sarmiento, with carrier single “Minsan Lang Naman”, highlights the band’s heartfelt lyrics and melody. First Movement's “Minsan Lang Naman” has entered several music channels and radio programs’ hit charts. Their album “Transparent” featured a sound which they categorized as electro-pop-rock. It features “I Will Wait”, “Two Four” and “Taciturn” as singles.
They were part of the lineup of Coke Studio PH and worked with rapper and flip-top artist Abra to produce “Stargazer” with their Coke Studio episode, reaching 2.5 million views. The band also collaborated with Chito Miranda, vocalist of Parokya ni Edgar, through the song “Bakit Ganyan Ka?.” The song reached more than 800,000 views in less than 24 hours and 28,000 shares on Facebook. It has gone viral on Spotify’s Philippines Viral 50 (reached no. 3 spot). “When In Manila” blog site calls it the newest original Philippine music love anthem.
In 2013, Gracenote performed at the Converse Sneaker Clash.[http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/270270/lifestyle/reviews/music-review-a-last-minute-thrill-gym-class-heroes-and-nelly-furtado "A last-minute thrill—Gym Class Heroes and Nelly Furtado"].
