What is it about local bands that I’m so fond of? I used to be a huge fan of the After Image band way back middle school days. Aside from After Image, I also enjoy listening to Eraser Heads, Alamid, Introvoys, and others. I even thought of buying a red pair of DM’s coz I saw Wency Cornejo wearing one. I also have my own set of drums here at home, and mom even got a private tutor for me. My classmates and I would watch After Image’s gig as often as we could, we would even call “Bobit” - After Image’s rhythm’s, and guess what … Bobit was part of my 18 Roses thingy when I had my debut! Hahaha! :)
During those days, I thought that the band thingy was just a stage wherein every normal gurl would pass and eventually out-grow. Well, I no longer hit my drums, though I still have it here at home, I no longer listen to NU 107, I already trashed my After Image’s CD’s and tapes. But my love for local bands? Nahhh, I’m still a follower!!
I so love Side A – who doesn’t anyways?! Next to Side A is South Border, FreeStyle, U-turn, etc. etc. Acoustic? PAOLO SANTOS is the name! MichaelAngelo, MYMP, Nyoy Volante and Thor as well.
But what is it with those abovementioned bands and artists that I can’t let go of? Not to mention that I’m friends with Paolo Santos and Mike of MichaelAngelo, MYMP … we’re school mates, Chin used to be my classmate. I remember watching Pao at Ipanema way back 2001, he wasn’t PAOLO SANTOS yet, I would watch him every Wednesday there, and I would watch all his gigs as long as it’s in Ortigas and Eastwood. He would eat his meal in our table and would play my requests (w/ matching kanchaw pa), I even asked him to sign the two CD’s I bought, this was his line then “pati ba naman ikaw magpapasign pa, friends tayo wala na dapat sign sign” hahaha, oh Paolo! I’m a Pao fan, I’m a Pao follower! Even up to this day I still go to his gigs but it’s not as often as before. I love his style, I love his voice, I love Pao – platonically, so don’t get me wrong!
Just last night, Blueboy and I watched FreeStyle’s gig. They’re really good! Jinky’s performance level was superb. Joshua, aside from being cute (and I love his body) sings well too, he’s distinct style makes me (and the crowd) kilig, and I love the way he dances and his hand gestures is drivin’ me nuts (he also posses a big pair of hands, hahaha!). JOSHUA!!!
I guess my love and passion for local bands and solo artists will forever be a part of my system. Watching and singing with them makes me relax and eases my stress. They’re like an outlet, a way wherein I could unwind, be with friends, reminisce and feel inlove!!
To all the bands and artists, kampai!! ;)
