Bamboo Maņalac serves as the band's frontman. Contrary to popular belief, the band is not named after him. According
to Ira Cruz, the guitarist, the word bamboo relates to strength and durability with an island feel to it. Also, it's very
Filipino and Asian at the same time. Their first priority for a band name during the 2000's was "Audio Barangay" which means
"Audio Neighborhood" in English. However, they realized that its a bit hard to pronounce and it is not that catchy compared
to just "Bamboo." They also dropped the name "Audio Barangay" because Audioslave was formed roughly the same time during their band's formation, to avoid confusion. Four years after their departure from Rivermaya, Maņalac and Azarcon caught
up again with each other, during which Azarcon introduced him to Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado. Two of its members, Bamboo
Maņalac and Nathan Azarcon, were formerly part of Rivermaya. The
other two members, Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado, were former instrumentalists of another band, Passage. Ira Cruz and Nathan Azarcon
were also former members of the band Kapatid during that time.
