Alternative rock band Teeth will mark its 33rd anniversary with a five-city reunion tour that begins on Aug. 30 in Singapore and coincides with the first vinyl release of its self-titled debut album.
The “Year 33: Teeth The Reunion – Legacy Tour” opens at the Foochow Event Building Hall in Singapore before heading to Manila on Sept. 5, Davao on Sept. 12, Iloilo on Sept. 19 and Cebu on Sept. 26.
The reunion also coincides with the first vinyl edition of the band’s debut album, originally released during the 1990s Pinoy rock movement. The record introduced songs including “Laklak” and “Prinsesa” and was later certified Double Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI), with sales of more than 80,000 copies.
The vinyl edition has been newly remastered by mastering engineer Shinji Tanaka and will be released in a limited run of 500 standard black vinyl copies. Produced by Backspacer Records, the release also features new artwork by visual artist Nix Puno, offering a reinterpretation of the album’s original cover.
Formed in 1993, Teeth currently consists of original members Glenn Jacinto on vocals, Jerome Velasco on guitars, Pedz Narvaja on bass, Mike Dizon on drums and Dok Sergio on guitars, after previously serving as the band’s bassist.
The group emerged during the alternative rock boom of the 1990s and became known for its blend of alternative rock, grunge and shoegaze influences, particularly on its third full-length album, “I Was A Teenage Tree.” Throughout its career, Teeth received three NU Rock Awards and earned two MTV Pilipinas Award nominations.
