So the story goes...Bamboo is no more.

Last Monday, DJ KC Montero announced on 89.1 Wave FM radio that Philippine's popular rock band, Bamboo, is breaking up.

Last night, confirmation was in the form of a statement at the official website of the band itself.

One of the country's high regarded band, their soulful take on rock will surely be missed but cherished.

Well, they come and go.

It was a fun ride. They were cool.

My heart listened to them.

Felt every guitar string.

And now, farewell...

(let me share with you some photos I took of the band...)

Bamboo Manalac, vocalist

Nathan Azarcon, bassist.

Vic Mercado, drummer.

Ira Cruz, guitarist.

(Me, clearly failing not to look too starstruck, during a concert shoot assignment)

Read the official statement here.

Two bands played in the exclusive concert. This is Rivermaya.
Vocals, Jayson.











Like I said, Can I have your job Mr. Camera Guy? hehehehe












Rivermaya band members with one of our production assistants Obet. This is one cool photo! YOU THE MAN OBET!!! ahihihihi...
We totally had a blast! We hope to see them all next year...

Wow, 11 days after my last entry! hehehe. I am back folks! Been just too busy the past week. Translation: HAPPY.
Flew back to Manila for the 3rd time this month to cover an exclusive concert for the biggest callcenter in the country. Two of the country's mostest band played. YEY!!! Can you say RIVERMAYA?
And all together now...BAMBOO!!! oh-hu-huh-oh...halleluuuuuuiah!
Yep flew in Wednesday for a series of post production jamming. It was my first time inside the Araneta Coliseum and it was huge!!! Just as huge as the security people! hahahaha. First time I met the band up close too. They were so cool!!!


Yey! Someone caught me on his cam! Thanks Eric!!!...by the time Bamboo played I had found myself being slowly and strangely pushed away from the stage. I was getting crappy shots. HAHAHAHA...I had to find another place to shoot. Next thing I knew I found myself ON STAGE!!! Yep that's me, on the lower left.


I love our production team!!! Yes, that's Ann. (and her 595-peso tumbler, HAHAHAHAHA)


This is the team, relaxing, post-show.




And who has the best vantage point? Of course, Mr. Camera Guy.








Love the passion...






His guitar strap had fur. Coolest!!!

(Tried not to look too starstruck considering I was the production photographer. Obviously I failed. hehehe)

Thank YOU Boss for the fun!
Thank YOU for the strength.
Thank YOU for this chance.
Thank YOU for the success!!!
