Franco is complete!!!!
After only 3 years in the local music scene and one album to their name, MCA Music superband Franco, has broken up.
Word got out late last week and I have just received the confirmation that the band was indeed broken up.
Franco has made a great name for themselves what with members from highly respected and famous band members being a part of the line up.
Singer/Guitarist Gabby Alipe and Drummer Janjan Mendoza of Urbandub confirmed the news to me while we were together during Urbandub’s performance at the Baybeats Festival in Singapore this last weekend.
Word is, Franco fired the band members, as his goal is to now go solo. Franco will likely be keeping the band name but will instead be working with session musicians from now on end. In short, Buwi Meneses of Parokya Ni Edgar, Ocho Toleran of Queso, and Urbandub’s Gabby Alipe and Janjan Mendoza will no longer be part of the line up.
Franco has just recorded his 2nd album and played all the instruments on the recording except for the drums, which were recorded by Janjan Mendoza.
There is still no word confirmation on who the new session musicians will be.
