Frozbyte Evolution

The group was founded during our high school years when we joined a song writing contest.  I formed the group.  I taught most of the band members from drums, guitars and bass.  I played the keyboards that time.  Our name was Music Legacy and we won first place during the song writing contest.  Our drums was an improvised drumset… whilst the rest of the instruments were just borrowed except from my keyboards.  Original members were Louie on guitar, Dolores on bass, John2x on drums, Anelyn on vocals and I was the keyboardist. It was a blessing in disguise that we shared our talent and skills.  Anelyn got a very good voice, Louie got a gene poll of musicians from singing to playing guitar, John2x got a strong arm that can hit drums as loud as Sepultura, Dolores got a family of musicians from the late Dad who’s a guitarist, a brother who’s bassist and another brother who is a drummer…. So, now you’ve guess where we’ve borrowed most of our instruments when we first started.  Hehehe.

We’ve been invited to play in school activities and even during student programs outside our school, like Science Camp, school campaigns and programs.  Then, we added a male vocalist, Ven Ian, a balladeer.  We were invited during JS Prom and we’re playing ballad OPMs like Ariel Rivera, Gary V. and even Folk and Country music like “Perhaps Love and Aubrey”.
Suddenly, Philippine Local Bands became famous like Introvoys, which Louie our guitarist started singing and that change our group and our genre of music.  Louie became our vocalist and his first song was Will I Survive by Introvoys.  And then, we continued that kind of genre because the crowd started loving this new hype.  We then performed Line to heaven by Introvoys, Next in line by After Image and bands like Alamid, Teeth, The Youth, Siakol, Yano, Rivermaya and the band that influenced us most, the Eraserheads.
Gigs then continued from battle of the bands, prom night, SK victory party, a different serenade during pageant, intermission during seminars and even had our own Concert at school, two in a row.  Then, later, we got a regular schedule in a pub during Saturday night at Mariano’s Grill and Restaurant and that’s our ultimate goal that time.

Frozbyte

My band back home in the Philippines was and is Frozbyte. Most of us are nurses and that’s why members keep changing and adding up coz after we graduated we work abroad. Louie, a nurse and is our lead singer is now in New York. John2x, a nurse, our drummer is now in Florida. Dolores, accountant, former bassist that became our first female lead singer is in Capiz. Jingle, a marketing graduate is our famous lead guitarist that sounded like Steve Vai and is now in Manila. Shane, electrical communications engineer, is our bassist who can play like Flea and even sounds like Flea. He loves RHCP and RATM and is now in Capiz.

We had two additional vocals when our former vocalist went abroad and Dolores got married. They are Ruby and Rommelle. Ruby, a nurse is now in the Middle East while Rommelle is a nautical graduate who concentrated more on his band and is doing well in the Philippines as a singer, guitarist and keyboardist. As for me, I’m a nurse myself who still loves music, plays the guitar, keyboard, drums and a little bit of this and that. Lastly, a special member of the group named Blue does the research for our songs and is also our critic in our performance and sound.
