Frozbyte Concert in Coco Bar Aklan

We were booked to do a gig in Coco Bar, Aklan near the airport. Again, this one was booked by Jojo for us. Same set of songs plus some OPM (Original Pilipino Music) like Sumayaw, Sumunod, Awitin Mo, Tayo'y Magsayawan and Love Song Remix like Foolish Heart by Steve Perry and 'Til They Take My Heart Away by Claire Marlo and even Stars by Simply Red. These are the addition to our usual set list which are Mike Francis' Let Me In and Friends, Jame's Taylor's Your Smiling Face, Man Eater by Hall and Oates.

Again Hey by Fatima Rainey, Never Knew Love Like This by Sonia, Together Again by Janet Jackson, Crush by Jennifer Paige, Believe by Cher, High by Lighthouse Family, It Ain't Over Til It's Over by Lenny Kravitz, September and Let's Groove by Earth, Wind and Fire and the 80s selection from Celebration, Tenderness, Give It Up, Buttercup, The Promise, I Will Survive, etc. as well as Fra Lippo Lippi's hits like Stitches and Burns, Angel, Everytime I See You, Light and Shade, Some People, and Beauty and Madness.

The best part of this gig was we stayed in a Hotel Resort which we were the only people around because it was close that time for renovation or something and there's a swimming pool so after our gig around 2 in the morning we were having fun in the swimming pool, it was raining that time but we couldn't be bothered and just enjoyed that early morning fun at the pool.

Again, same gear we used, Yamaha PSR 500 along with Korg X5 into a Marshall keyboard amp which was awesome. RJ black strat copy into a Fender Super Champ amp using Zoom 1010 multieffects processor. Fender Precision bass into Carlsbro amp. Pearl drumkit, Gibraltar hardware, Zildjan cymbals and Paste splash. Shure PG48 microphones.

My Mobile Recording Studio

My mobile laptop recording studio This does not mean having a portable handheld recording device and also this is not the proper recording studio, which have all the complete amenities and gear but what I mean when I say Mobile recording studio is that this is something that can be transferred to any location and set up as quickly as you can. Like for example, in my case, I don’t have a proper recording studio or room to record so sometimes I’m doing it in our lounge or other times I will set it up in our dining area or sometimes in our bedroom. Also by saying mobile recording studio, in any case I’m moving to another place I can easily pack up things and bring it with me like for example I’m here in England as of now and if ever I’m going back home in the Philippines after my contract expires, I can easily bring my recording studio gear and equipment back home. So, this is not an on-site recording studio or a portable recording studio this is just my own mobile l...

One Love for Abra Charity Concert at The Star of Kings London

Had a wonderful time doing a charity gig for Abra, an island back home in the Philippines where children there are too eager to learn, however, they don't have a proper or decent school to study and no school supplies. The project was very successful. Port Mallilin and Carol Panday invited artists from Pilipino Musikero sa UK and loads pledged their support. Also among the acts were Arisxandra Libantino, the pride of Filipinos in Britain who was one of the finalists. I am the guitarist of Crossedwind and we are dubbed as the House Band during the gig. We opened the event and then we were the closing act. It was a fun night. There were some challenges though. Like for example, although myself and Ashley (sound director) were early to set up the amps and instruments, the pub's sound guy didn't like that we brought guitar, bass, and keyboard amps because it's going to be too loud. He just want us to use their monitor speakers and house spea...

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...
