Bodega Concert

To the Roxas City Musicians and Rockers, does the word Bodega Concert ring a bell?  Well, to me it's a YES.  Although, I can't remember all the details but I would think this was what happened.

Barbie Almalbis and other Musicians/relatives of hers organized an event which was held in a Bodega or Warehouse and this was like an indoor woodstock concert. A lot of the bands played, which again I couldn't remember each one of them but we played there as Frozbyte and then I think Barbie's band was called Chaotic Silverfish if Im not mistaken that time.

The venue was all right, however, the sound system wasn't that good or impressive maybe because it was indoor or maybe it's just that we were the first band to play and the sound tech/operator was still getting a grip of the equipments i.e. mixers, amps, etc.... Anyways, the gig was successful though because the bands played all well in their own right.

The highlight was Barbie's band and as usual spot on, they nailed it.  Barbie even played conga in one of their songs, her trademark was playing the harmonica while playing the guitar and then their bassist that time was Ryan Tiu and one of the greatest drummer Roxas City has, Jet Lozada.... who did a 20-minute drum solo, Im kidding but around that time frame coz it feels like it was quite a long long time.

The event was covered by a local cable network, ALTO cable, which normally when there's concerts and events they're the ones who covers the show.  Hope, ALTO still got a copy of those good old memories.
