Shaobath is an emerging Filipino Rock Band formed in late 2007. Their first gig was at the Trader's Hotel Manila during the 2007 Christmas Party of Access Worldwide Inc-Manila. After their first song "Beautiful Mistake", Stephen proposed to her girlfriend Charity. Since their inception, the band's line-up has included vocalist Stephen Neil Lagandaon, guitarist Joe Neil Ison, bassist Philip John Buena and drummer Daks Santos. In early 2008, Daks Santos was replaced by Miko Tangco (former drummer/sessionist of "Pig's w/ Pearls") to pursue a call center career.

Shaobath has been invited to play a couple of times at small music gatherings for musicians every Friday night at the VCF (Victory Christian Fellowship)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Christian_Fellowship -Galeria as well as at the VY (Victory Youth) every Saturday at the Cinema 5 Market!Market! Taguig City -wikimapia.org/1250156/Market-Market conducted by Miko Tangco during the year 2008. They also performed at a skating event hosted by Jun Nocum of Malachi in late 2008 at the University of Sto. Tomas where they played "Craving".

During their formation, each band members collaborated their own individual styles and musical approaches in order to come up with a unique sound but will still be under the "rock" genre. Shaobath's prominent sound is melodic rock tainted with heavy metal influences from foreign and Pinoy rock en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinoy_rockbands. The band received positive comments from other musicians due to their unique sound.

In the late 2009, the band had a major struggle with scheduling its practices due to other personal priorities. Shaobath has not been seen performing on stage since early 2010.
