Greyhoundz is a Filipino Nu-metal/rap-metal band formed in the late 90's who gained international recognition and is currently based in Manila, Philippines.
Background
Greyoundz was formed in 1997 by cousins Niño and Audie Avenido who at first just wanting to join a local battle of the bands contest together with other bandmates that includes Allen Cudal. The contest was canceled so they opted to audition at the now defunct Club DREDD that was based in Manila.
They later recruited Reg Rubio, who was from another band that also played at Club Dredd. They soon recruited TJ Brillantes.
Unfortunately on the 6th of May 2004, a tragic event happened when original member, Allen Cudal (also one of their guitarists) died from a car accident. Many followers of the band were shocked during the sudden passing of the band member. 2004 Pulp SummerSlam, was the last time that fans were able to watch the band in their complete line up.
But despite the tragic event, as a sign of respect for their late band mate, the group now performs as a 4 piece band rather than hiring a new member.
Behind the name
The name “Greyhoundz” was borrowed from the former band of Audie Avenido’s father.
