Manila-based alternative pop band Any Name’s Okay presents ‘Anim Name’s Okay,’ its 6-year anniversary celebration event featuring some of the most promising artists in the music and illustration scenes.
Co-produced by indie prod house SYQL Productions, Anim Name’s Okay is the band’s biggest, most ambitious self-produced show to date.

Anim Name’s Okay will also celebrate the release of ‘Cobalt Blue,’ the band’s next single set to hit streaming platforms on October 18. This will be Any Name’s Okay’s first release in over a year, following their successful sophomore EP, ‘Leaving Home,’ released in August 2022.
