Bodega Concert in Roxas City


To the Roxas City Musicians and Rockers, does the word Bodega Concert ring a bell?  Well, to me it's a YES.  Although, I can't remember all the details but I would think this was what happened.
Barbie Almalbis and other Musicians/relatives of hers organized an event which was held in a Bodega or Warehouse and this was like an indoor Woodstock concert. A lot of the bands played, which again I couldn't remember each one of them but we played there as Frozbyte and then I think Barbie's band was called Chaotic Silverfish if I’m not wrong.

The venue was all right, however, the sound system wasn't that good or impressive maybe because it was indoor or maybe it's just that we were the first band to play and the sound tech/operator was still getting a grip of the equipments i.e. mixers, amps, etc.... Anyways, the gig was successful though because the bands played all well in their own right.

Barbie was using Korg Toneworks, Fender Strat wood finished, Pearl Drumkit, Fender Amps, improvised bass amp.... in case you’re asking how did I know about the gears, well we tend to use or borrow her equipments.

Our gear again are Fender Precision Bass, Lyon Sunburst Strat by Washburn coupled with Boss DS1 distortion and Boss Chorus, our lead guitarist was using RJ black strat, Zoom 1010 multieffects processor foot pedal, and Yamaha PSR500 keyboards.

The highlight was Barbie's band and as usual spot on, they nailed it.  Barbie even played conga in one of their songs, her trademark was playing the harmonica while playing the guitar and then their bassist that time was Ryan Tiu and one of the greatest drummer Roxas City has, Jet Lozada.... who did a 20-minute drum solo, Im kidding but around that time frame coz it feels like it was quite a long long time.

The event was covered by a local cable network, ALTO cable, which normally when there's concerts and events they're the ones who covers the show.  Hope, ALTO still got a copy of those good old memories.

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas.  During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts.  We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs.  We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand.  I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...
