CUESHE

About Cueshé
Their name, Cueshé, is a portmanteau of "cue" meaning banana cue, a local street food Consisting of skewered caramel-coated bananas, and the pronoun "shé" (pronounced shay), which named after their former vocalist, who is female. In their earlier days as a show band in Cebu, the band would practice at the bedroom of their drummer Mike Manaloto - their first rehearsal studio. After their practice, they would eat their favorite snack, the banana cue. A motorcycle accident happened on December 24, 2001 injured the female vocalist. Jay Justiniani recovery replaced the former vocalist right after her.
Ruben Caballero later joined the group. At first, he, together with David, was only on vocals. But later on, he shifted into greater heights, as he became a rhythm guitarist / vocalist. The pianist / keyboardist Jhunjie Dosdos then came into the band to showcase his talent he honed during his younger days.

On March 2005, the group decided to push through the "rock mecca of the Philippines", the city of Manila Which has led their career to take-off. Hit singles ("Stay," "Sorry." "Ulan," "Can not Let You Go" and "24 Hours."), A double platinum album ("Half Empty, Half Full"), accolades (Favorite Artist, Favorite Group and Favorite Song for the song "Stay" at the 1st MYX Music Awards; SMART Texters' Choice Hitmaker of the Year at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Awards, Band of the Year at 2006 SOP PasiklaBand Awards, Best Breakthrough Artist at 2005 SOP Music Awards), sold-out gigs and concerts-all Achieved in a span of one year.

Less than a year later, the band released its second album, "Back To Me" This new album is set to validate the band's status as pop idols as they release ten new tracks, all of Which were written by the members themselves. Their first single was of the same title, and their second single was "Borrowed Time". Being fans of The Beatles they, therefore, did a re-make of the John Lennon hit single, Jealous Guy.

The band thus made a contribution to the tribute album to the Eraserheads, "Ultraelecromagneticjam" # in which they sung their own rendition of "Hard To Believe".

In the 2006 MYX Year End Countdown, Cueshé's single "Ulan" was able to peak at # 3 after dominating the MYX Hit Chart at # 1 from mid-January 2006 until the end of February 2006. This song, according to some Filipino listeners, is coined as too "pang-masa" (Filipino term for "for the masses"). This is the reason critics and rock purists hate the band. Others describe them as being "posers" and "no talent hacks".

The band recently recorded the theme song of the Philippine television series "Asian Treasures" entitled "Walang Yamang (Mas Hihigit Sa 'Yo)," which is included in the repackaged version of their album "Back To Me"
