Sweet Electricity – Electrico

Singapore – Emaho caught up with the cult Singapore-based band Electrico and jammed with Dave Tan (guitar & vocals), Desmond Goh (bass) and William Liim Jr (drums) EMAHO: From Electric Company to Electric Co. and finally to Electrico… what’s the story behind the name?  DG: We just wanted to shorten the name every time.
