About the band:

When the Techy Romantics start playing, the beats begin breathing, guitars come a-stirring, vocals creep in, and then the songs, they just come alive. There’s just this powerful surge of energy that nobody can resist. That cosmic force is exactly what greeted Ryan Villena, Dondi Virrey, and Camyl Besinga that Sunday afternoon in mid-2008, when the three, for the heck of it, decided to jam. Armed with experience (Ryan had been playing drums and guitar for a number of bands since high school), deep-seated desires (Camyl had always wanted to sing in a band), and a laptop (Dondi had already been composing stuff on his Mac), a quasi-big bang ensued, two songs immediately formed. In less than a month, the Techy Romantics had written enough songs to fill the usual gig sets. And gig sets, they’ve filled to the brim—enveloping the room with their brand of sound, pervading empty spaces with their surreal Techy Romantics vibe, touching base with the audience, swelling to form a collective intoxication. Even Techy Romantics can’t help but succumb to the beat. Less than a year into being the Techy Romantics, the band is set to release their first full-length record. The beats can’t be contained, the energy, can’t be denied. That cosmic Techy force is just itching to be felt.
