Ill try to salvage some pictures for your viewing pleasure! Sorry that i wasnt able to bring a camera! but anyway dont forget to drop him a note if you wanna say a belated greeting! his email address is boogieromero@yahoo.com

ONE LOOK IS NUMBER ONE IN CDO and DAVAO
---------------------------------------------------------

We just heard our manager confirm that our current single "One Look" hit the number one spot in Cagayan de Oro and in Davao! Thats really awesome news! Thanks to everyone who have been voting for the song! Please keep on voting as June might be the last month of the songs lifespan (or not! depends on your voting!) for more details please check out the banner!

IKON
------

The band will be part of an Malaysian - Indonesian - Filipino band contest called the IKON! The contest will start this June and end a few months after! We will be needing your support on this because this can be a great opportunity for the band to showcase our music here in the Philippines and hopefully abroad! This event is supported by Solar Sports and RPN 9 here in Manila. Wish us luck! Its some sortof battle of the bands set up and well be playing alongside local heavyweights as well! Cross your fingers everyone! Theres gonna be an SMS component so it would be great if you guys can help out! Ill make banners soon when i get more details!


SHAI VIDEO
--------------

Yes people! "Shai" is the next single for 2StepMarv! We shot the video last May 13 in Sikatuna Village! Our friend Mo Zee (who also directed a film "Elegie" starring Marc) directed it! We just finished viewing the final cut and it was really awesome! Sorry that i wasnt able to take any pictures because i was in a rush that day and totally forgot to do so! But tell you what! Ill try to salvage some and show you guys some screencaps!

This also marks our first step into really straying away from our niche rock sound. Hopefully you guys support us because this is the direction we want to go into now! Some sort of ambient / rock / broken beats type if you know what i mean! We want to showcase our diversity to everyone so its not just always that classic rock flavor (which is not bad too!)

Any constructive discussions on this topic shall be welcome!


ONE LOOK SHIRTS
----------------------

To everyone who ordered! Im so sorry i havent gotten back to you guys! All of your emails have been received and will be processed soon! Hopefully you will all get your stuff! Thanks again for ordering! AND YES THE SHIRTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. AND WE WILL SELL THEM AT GIGS!!!
