History

Identity Crisis was formed in 1986, consisting of Lenny Llapitan (keyboards), Resty (guitars), Buddy Boy (vocals), Bogs (bass), Marvin (drums) and Carla Abaya (vocals), also known as Cool Carla of the now-defunct WXB 102. The band brought in elements of gothic rock, Middle Eastern, classical and jazz, backed with Abaya's gothic vocals, to make a distinct new wave sound.[5] A year later, they released its debut album Tale Of Two, with its singles "Imagining Oktober" and "My Sanctuary" getting a lot of airplay.[6] In 1990, the band recorded their last album Water Came Running. In 1992, the band broke up, with Abaya and Llapitan forming Mariya's Mistress, which lasted until 1997.[7] In 2011, Identity Crisis reunited for a one-off concert.[8]
