The Jack Daniel’s Global Music Tour happened last April 17, 2009. The highlight of the event was the awesome collaboration of Nyco Maca and Cynthia Alexander. By the way, they will be the Philippine representatives to the Jack Daniel’s Music Event to be held in Singapore on May 2009. The event was by invitation only (thanks to Chris Ramos for the tickets! ). There were some familiar faces in the crowd; fellow gig-goers in Saguijo and other joints for local bands.

I was there around 9 pm and of course it wouldn’t start at once since it’s too early so while waiting for the crowd to fill up, DJ Ralph Roy of Circa provided the house music for everyone to chill out. Moving on, the first band started to play and didn’t even mention their name during their set. The band’s name is Hiway 69 which played great music. It set the mood for the audience. I was just able to get to know their name at the middle of the show.  . The hosts (Sib Lucero and a girl who I didn’t hear the name) of the show appeared after the first band. The girl host was onstage with topless men while Sib was on the side stage with the Hooter girls. I recognized one of the topless men with tie on the neck: he was one of the bouncers in the Eraserheads Reunion Concert last August 2008. Next band that performed was KO Jones which played classic rock.  Great set as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Yehey! organized a chat event for Urbandub fans last April 4 (Thursday) from 2:00-4:00 pm. Special thanks to Yehey! for inviting me to chat beside Urbandub! I was late but it was fine because I got to talk to one of my favorite bands. It’s really a yehey moment. Hehe.

The band was incomplete, it was only Gabby, Lalay and John there. Janjan (the drummer) wasn’t around. Urbandub fans got the chance to talk to their favorite band; Urbandub didn’t hesitate in answering the questions whether it’s serious or silly. Franco Reyes (one of the band’s good friends) was there also but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to catch him. Dang! Read the rest of this entry »

Sonic Boom celebrated their 3rd Christmas Party at Club Dredd Eastwood last night. I was with Karla, Lili and Ronald and it wasn’t really planned at all to go to Eastwood. We thought that Urbandub’s gig was in Saguijo. Oh well, it was just misinformation . We weren’t able to catch the bands who performed early such as Hilera and Nyctinasty. The place was filled with people and Typecast was about to finish their set. Other bands who performed after Typecast were Faspitch, Kjwan and Urbandub.

It’s sad to know that Jorel Corpus, Kjwan’s guitarist will be leaving the band. I am not sure if he will be studying overseas, according to Marc Abaya who announced it on the mic ( I really couldn’t hear it well due to the noise). Nevertheless, the band will still continue playing. In fact they will be releasing their album entitled “13 Seconds to Love” early next year .The carrier single of the album “Lifeline” is already being played at NU 107. Read the rest of this entry »
