Sorry for taking so long to join in.
Thanks for asking for our whereabouts. Nakakataba ng puso!
Share lang ako ng "somthing trivial" para sa inyo. Before INTRoVOYS decided to go on an indefinite hiatus, we all decided to play together on stage! The "we" I am referring to was the original line up starting with Jonathan, Jj & Jobert Buencamino, Ira Cruz & Vic Carpio and me (paco). We play Bacolod, Iloilo and Tugigarao. I believe they were ABS-CBN sponsored concerts. This was back in 2001.
Anyway, we were really excited about starting all over again kaso parang wala sa timing. Plus I was really contemplating on going to the US para mag bagong buhay.
Of course, we all know that Ira co-founded Kapatid and then the highly successful BAMBOO. Si Vic Carpio naman decided to go to France and try his luck. Jobert Buencamino decided to retire and concentrate on the business he started with his wife.
With only Jonathan & Jj Buencamino left to work with, we decided that getting back together was something we had to put on the back burner.
I will agree na iba talaga ka-jam ang mga original members. When Ira toured the US with Bamboo, we jammed a bit and didn't miss a bit. I'm sure that it'll be the same when we get to jam with Vic Carpio & Jobert Buencamino again.
However, with our new bass player, Chot U-lep and guitar player, Steve Guadiz, the "old" band began to sound kinda "new".
Where do I find myself now?
I find myself missing the old "sound palette" of the band however, I am also very excited about what we can do right now. Yun nga lang... after releasing our first indie album, A Brighter Day in 2005 and our 1st studio Greatest Hits album, New Beginnings in 2007, we're taking our time in writing new materials that will be appreciated by our old fans as well as new ones that don't even have a clue as to who we were.
By the way, we had the opportunity to sing the title track of the movie, My Best Friend's Girlfriend. I don't know if we were given any credit for that.
