First of all, our congratulations to Bryan Head and Musika Philippines in collaboration with Hat Creatives for the successful first online digital concert in the Philippines held at our humble music room last night. It was truly an exciting and epic experience for everyone who witnessed the live streaming performance of Razorback, regarded as one of the country’s longest running and most bad ass Rock and Roll band around.
Razorback comprising of Tirso Rippol, Manuel Legarda, Marco Cuneta, Francis Aquino and Blue Jean Junkies front man and vocalist Nino Mendoza rocked the place with their thunderous performance of mostly originals and some of their new songs that are yet to be released in the market. It was definitely one big spectacle of acid rock music showcased in explosive vigor and intensity to the delight of the pinoy rock aficionados around. What a performance!
The evening commenced at 7pm with the tech group coming early specifically to set up their elaborate and delicate equipment in preparation for the live broadcast scheduled at 10pm. The band arrived early, as well, to have ample time to set up and sound check before airing. Musika Philippines big boss Bryan Head officially opened the live concert with a short introductory speech to start the ball rolling.
Immediately after the live stream broadcast at past 11pm and with everything clear on stage, we were back to our usual friday jam. House band stalwarts Tinnie Esguerra, Rick Trinidad, Bubui Colico, Vincent Garrucho along with Ryan Nacino, Pau Villanueva, Alvaro Nacino, Mayette Clemente, Toby Alberto and Steph Salazar comprised the personalities performing next. A guest Canadian violinist by the name of Forrest Borch joined us on stage adding more excitement to the ensemble.
The jam went on non-stop for a few hours till about 4am with Tinnie, Steph and myself filling in for the final slot just before closing time. As usual, some of the guys stayed around after the jam at the smoking area before heading for home. Being a bit under the weather, i opted to make a French exit and just left the others to themselves while I sneaked out. Good thing that Dondon was still with them to take charge of the locking up. Total success, to say the least. As I always say….all’s well that ends well.
Special thanks to Vincent Garrucho for the mouth watering Osso Buco he cooked and prepared for everyone. It was awesomely delicious, to say the least. I had actually 2 servings that I consumed. Having some chow available for sale on Fridays would definitely work, Vince. I strongly welcome and support it. I will definitely be one of your avid customers. Looking forward to the next one on your menu.
And so another historic event had come about. What can I say but another unexpected blessing now niched in the colorful history of Pete’s Place Music Room. I praise and thank God for watching over us.
Till the next Friday jam…See you all next time!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
