RurouniChild,
The usual, bands usually audition for us. Or, they are recommended by friends. The hitch lang, bands have to play at least 50 percent New Wave, yun kasi ang idea noong binuo namin ito nung 1995. It went on monthly until 2005, when we decided to slow down. We all have our jobs to attend to.
. But we hold the event once in a while, and they're all full-house events at Mayrics. Yung batch kasi namin (matanda na kami, he he he) ang may financial capability to drink dahil may mga career na yan (30s to early 40s). originals are also welcome, basta 80s inspired. Anyway, madami din namang bands ngayon ang 80s inspired, iba lang ang approach.
Some bands, if I may name drop, who played New Wave covers for Back to the Edge are the Eraserheads (all The Cure covers si Eli and the gang), The Youth, Color it Red, The Dawn, Half Life Half Death, Names are for Tombstones, Dream Kitchen, The Automatics, Orange and Lemons, Dead Pop Stars, Sleepyheads, Shiela and the Insects and many more.
PM mo lang ako. Baka mag-hold tayo any month soon.
Aldrin
