Rivermaya has undergone changes in the band’s line-up over the years. Bamboo, Nathan Azarcon and Rico Blanco were the first ones to leave the band but have made names for themselves with their respective new bands. The only original member in the current line up is Mark Escueta, the drummer. He applied for the intellectual property rights of Rivermaya under his own name but it was denied because apparently, Lizza Nakpil owns the name of the band. Former Rivermaya manager and creator, formed the band together with business partner Chito Rono back in 1993. Lizza reiterates that anything that the current Rivermaya has done without her consent will constitute a violation of law and those who have violated will be subject to legal action.
