![]() Pido Lalimarmo On lead guitar and vocals. Born
on Sept. 12, this MD (as in Musical Director), started his career in
music at a very young age. He had his first singing engagement when
he was about 16 years old at Pizza Hut as a folk singer and was first
introduced in the band scene in 1984. He joined other bands like FM,
Zee Band, Side A, Arstart and Anthem before he formed Pido with Take
One in 1996. His most unforgettable performance was their gig in Mindoro,
and as he describes it, "gulpe kami". His dream concert is
to be able to perform with James Taylor or Kenny Loggins. Through all
his busy schedule with the band, he finds it relaxing to play RPG in his play
station. |

On vocals. Born on September 8, she officially became the latest addition to the Pido with Take One family on September 1, 2002. Jen has been in the band scene for 8 years and before was a member of the bands Heat of the Night, Silk and Entwine. Her favorite song in the album is “If I keep my Heart Out of Sight” simply because she loves the lyrics! She considers every night she performs with the band her most unforgettable performance. If she wasn’t in the band scene now, being a dog lover, she’d be taking care of her dogs (whom she says she adores so much!!!). When she has some free time away from the band’s busy schedule, she loves to sleep or listen to jazz and lounge songs to relax. |

On drums. Born on June 27, "Pastor"
as he is fondly called by his bandmates, has been in the band scene
for 24 years and had his first singing engagement with the Church.
He was with Four Play Band and Manila Band before joining Pido with
Take One in 1996 of September. He asked Soney dela Calzada, the former
manager of PWTO if she knows a band where he can play, luckily he
is with Take One now. When relaxing and unwinding, he listens to mainstream
jazz and Akoustiko (a praise and worship group). A real family man, he makes
sure that he spends enough time with his wife and 4 kids whenever the busy
schedule of their band would allow him. |

On bass guitar. Born on Nov. 19,
the "highly" recommended member of the band joined Pido with Take
One in October 1997. "Shaggy" often catches the eye of their female
audience because of his magnetic smile and charming personality. Marlowe has
been in the band scene since he was 13 years old and had his first singing
engagement at the same age. Previously, he was with Lumen Band with
his sister and brother before their manager asked him if he was interested
in joining Pido with Take One and the rest is history... His dream concert?
A solo concert to be held in Areneta Coliseum or Carniegie Hall. He
loves spending time with his family especially his mom and go out at
night. Privately, he listens to classical music and light jazz and
Southborder. |

![]() On 2nd guitar. Born on April 11,
Leevon is the youngest member of Take One. He has been in the band scene for
5 years. His previous bands include Waves and Surreal before he joined
Pido with Take One in October of 2001. At the time the band was looking for
a guitarist, Leevon's Tito Topher told him that Pido with Take One was holding
an audition, so he tried out, auditioned and luckily, he was chosen. His most
unforgettable performance in his whole musical career happened when he was
still with Surreal. They had a gig at Padi's and while he was playing, he saw
a group of girls in front of him laughing. He thought they were just trying
to get his attention and were making "pa-cute" to him. Later,
he found out the reason why they were laughing was that his fly was
open! He dreams of having a concert in the US (be sure to check your
pants Leevon before going on stage!). When he has nothing else to do,
he plays his guitar (naturally!) When he wants to relax, he listens
to instrumental music. |

On keyboards. Born on April 23, he is
the newest member of the group. He has been in the band scene for 7
years and was a member of Vanna Vanna before joining Pido with Take
One on November 22, 2001. His friend, Yoyong (he used to session with
PWTO before) referred him to be the keyboardist of the band. His first
singing engagement with the group was at Padi's Point in Las Piñas.
Although new in the band, his favorite song in their album is Sweet
Hello because he had a long distance love affair in Cebu then. Their
performance at the AD Congress in Cebu was his most unforgettable performance.
His dream concert would be held in Araneta Coliseum or Folk Arts Theater.
He will still be arranging music if he is not with Pido with Take One.
He spends his free time with his laptop computer and listens to classical,
jazz, rave and techno music when he wants to relax. |
