Hi Guys!
Again, maraming salamat sa lahat ng dumalo at naki-jam. It was a night of tone and good old music. As to my previous post--this EB is one of the most attended since we strated in August!
Kudos to BAMF (jobet ) for organizing this monthly event!
Mabuhay ang Pilipinong musikero. From last night's jam, its good to know that a lot of the bands are trying their new material. (eg. Soul to seed, MAHASA and Ursa Minor) back at the time we cant even apprciate new material (puro top 40 lang)
Soul to seed-----Powerful songs you have. I dont really know or kung ako lang yon but I think the singer is a little off key. Nice guitar riff and the double pedal on those songs rocked the floor--literally.
MAHASA---Blue Raven and Company rocked the house with ther version of the Deep Purple's smoke on the Water! I like the third one.."Its a beautiful life" and the Hednrix inspired "Halika ka na sa Dilim" . Iba yung dating ng kanta--may dark side to it. Despite their age, the group is musically matured. Although having two guitarists, one was doing the job of keyboard player--ang cute ng "keyboard" niyo.
What blew me away was Blue Raven's version of a Jimmy Page's "violin" inspired solo and the slide to go with that. Havent seen that around for a while. Biglang humaba yung leeg ko duon ah!!!! OK ba Delta slim??? This kid is going places!
URSA Minor--Heavy playing and steady rock grooves for the nirvana inspired band! Great drummer!
BLUESMENTRIT--A blues band that is very light and easy to hear. Aside from the lead guitar being manned by the forum's Jmorrero (Ang ganda ng ESP TELE niyo sir!!), the balance to the band's sound is made via acoustic guitar. The band's cover of Clapton's "Have you ever loved a woman" gives justice to the song--sans the electrified verison. (Sarap pakinggan--light listening) Patrick, the lead singer reminds of the lead singer from Blues Traveler (Nice hat bro!!!)
The song, "Aint No Sunshine ...(im sorry I didnt get the title) comes light and easy as well. Your Material--the Tagalog song--I really like that. You have a new fan and Im Looking forward to your Album guys!!!
FIRE BOTTLE! Just when you think things will turn around--here comes Delta slim, Pyschic Sushi, Nathan, Valve, Toybits and (Keyboard player--sorry I didn't get your name) What Can I say---Up until now, the lead slide solo of "sleepwalker" is still sounding off in my head--iba talaga ang tunog na yan! Bro Joric, maraming salamat at di man ako nakapag gitara--napakanta naman ako sa "Key to the Highway"---promise--hindi na ako kakanta ulit (hahahaha!
) Practice ako next time.! This is the first time I had a chance to see the guys all togther! Man, ang sarap pakinggan! Pyschic Sushi(Anton) knows his chops--great sagutan ni Joric and Nathan!
J3--Jazzhombie, Psychic Sushi, Deacon Blues and Toybits--Ito lang sa akin(and I will quote BAMF)--AYOKO NANG MAG-GITARA!!!!! Hearing and seeing these guys play--woodshed forever na ako! As Joric would say about the playing of Psychic Sushi--"its all in his fingers" --not to0 mention his EMG loaded telecaster! Galing mo Anton!!! Crush Kita!!! Be it blues, rock, gospel or Jazz--bro, ang tindi mo! My brodah, Jazhombie (Pareho kami ng Gitara--hihihi). Those jazz lines are impecable and always in the groove no matter how the song turns--ang galing mong mag=piano at mag-Saxophone (hahahaha!) Deacon Bues rocks! Ang Gwapo mo fafa!!!! Very vice and solid basslines sir!!! O ano--next Time, "Feels so Good ha?" Toybits is still the man when it comes on the drums! an all around beat machine!
PINOYMUSIKA! HAIL TO THE CHIEF! Sir Jim, It is an honor to have you in the Jam and may I say, ANG LUFET NINYO SA DRUMS! With J3, playing Cantaloupe--swak na swak ang dating! You get my head swinging left and right with your beat. That drum solo left my mouth open open for the rest of the jam.
Sorry I had to leave early and based on the review with "Karen's other band" seems like the girls also have something to say when it comes to playing guitar!!!
For BAMF--OO na! Napaka galing mo sa Mod OK-
-seriously, marami ka nang customers pagkatapos nito!!!!--Thanks for a fun filled Monday Night!
FloydNikita--maraming salamat sa pics!! Ayos yung Pusit niyo! sayang di lang ako nakatikim!!! Hihihi!
To everybody who came--Thanks again for a fun experience! Sa UULITIN!!!!
God Bless You Guys!
