APRIL 20, 2012. Family, friends, colleagues and fans came together on the eve of the late Karl Roy’s “40th day” to celebrate his life once more at the famous biker bar, Handlebar in Makati. The tribute show, PUTING ILAW (a title of Karl’s song, Advent Call days) was organized by ‘The Doctor’ Ramon Zialcita and F.E.A.R. Productions (the outfit who supported Karl’s latest gig tour throughout RP) and featured bands and musicians who were lucky to have worked and jammed with Karl as well as those who grew up with his music and words. The music that night was moving salute to Karl Roy of Advent Call, P.O.T., Kapatid and ‘Karl Roy’, whose decades of music formed part of the soundtrack of those who were in attendance.

Sergio Mendes played in Manila for a one night only concert with his band, Brasil 66.  Though I was looking forward to this concert, I was as well a bit hesitant as I didn’t know if he was going to play his boring love songs, or if he was going to treat the Filipino audience with his samba songs. 

Once I got there, I sorted out getting all the tickets that Atthewomb.com was going to distribute to our ticket winners from the contest that we held.  When I had all the tickets with me, I hung out at Padi’s Point and sent a message to all the winners to meet me there.  While waiting, together with Atthewomb.com photographer JC, we had a couple of beers each and prepared for a night of good music.

The ticket winners showed up soon after and it was my honor to have met everyone and been able to congratulate them personally.  Atthewomb.com really has the best fans.  Everyone was so friendly and one kind lady even gave me some goodies that she had brought from Batangas.

I’m older than a lot of the kids in the music industry today.  I have different views on music and my vocabulary for music genres is very poor compared to how I hear people describing their music to others. 

When I was growing up, genres were very basic.  There was jazz, classical, rnb, heavy metal, punk, and rock.

Watching Marky Ramone with Michale Graves, Crazy Joe and Graham Vanderveen perform at the Hard Rock Café reminded me a little bit of my childhood and growing up completely immersed in music.  It was just my kind of punk, straightforward!  Punk to me is Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The Sex Pistols, and of course The Ramones.

April 20, 2012, World Pot Smoking Day.  The Tanduay First Five Rock Royalty bands had all gathered into the terminal 2 Philippine Airlines Airport as we were on our way to beautiful Dumaguete City. 

Now on our 4th leg of the tour, and with having had a week of rest from last weeks Myx Summer Fest in Boracay, we were all ready and excited to leave town for another rocking concert. 

Enjoy some highlights from our trip to Dumaguete, along with some fun facts about Urbandub and the rest of the T5 bands!

UPDATE:  Ticket winners have just been announced!  Scroll down to see the list!

Sex and rock n roll have always gone hand in hand with each other.  Loads of rock stars have dated hot models, actresses, porn stars and whatnot; while tons of musicians continue dating hot chicks. 

Some people consider this unfair but I think, so what?  Good for them!  If banging a super hot chick helps them get their rocks off and acts as their muse for writing great songs, than more power to them.

Here we have Greyhoundz.  These guys have been tearing up the scene for over 12 years now and have a fantastic history of achievements, as well as concerts and other groundbreaking performances. 

Check out the band as hot model Jaqc Yu struts her stuff in front of them, as if trying to get them to stop playing with their instruments so that they can play with her instead.
