History

Lead singer Kimi Ward Encarnacion is known for being very energetic on stage. Jay Jay Encarnacion gave Moonpools & Caterpillars their distinct guitar sounds, which varied from ethereal chorusing to large, wall-of-sound distortion. Bassist Tim DePala and drummer Gugut Salgado were the other two members of the band.

Their first album, The Pink Album, was a recording of a live show at Los Angeles's Whisky a Go Go where many of their early shows were played

The band's music was featured in the movies The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) and Wish Upon a Star (1996).

In part because three of the members of the band were Filipino, the band always had a presence on the Pinoy rock scene. In 2014, after a return to Whisky a Go Go, the band returned to the Philippines after a seventeen year absence and were met by enthusiastic crowds.[1][2]
