Phuz was a Filipino-American rock-pop indie band from Houston, Texas.
Founded by brothers Edwin and Edward Casapao and their childhood friend, Ken Sarmiento, in the early 1990s, Phuz originally performed hard rock before subsequently undergoing several stylistic transformations.[1] The band would arrive at a plush, ambient sound influenced by rock, R&B, and pop the Houston Chronicle described bears European influences. [2]
A staple in the Houston live music scene, Phuz was renowned for touring in 2001 with Grammy Award-winning artist Sade on her Lover's Rock Tour and Tony Bennett in support of their album, Water, which was released the same year.[3]
The Houston Press featured Phuz, nominating the band for the Best New Act and Best Funk/R&B categories in its 2001 Press Music Awards. Phuz ultimately won the online newspaper's "Critic's Pick" award in the latter category.
In 2003, Phuz participated in the recording of the soundtrack for the Patricio Ginelsa directed independent film, Lumpia, contributing the song, "Brothers and Sisters."[citation needed] The band released Forgiveness, a follow-up to Water, before dissolving in the late 2000s.[4]
