As a group we've come to a point where you have to trust your gut, your heart and your head and accept that all things change. The hardest part as always is to know when to pack it up and part ways...
So here we go- Its official- The band- Its over"
- Bamboo Manalac
And things will change indeed.
The band we've come to know, (it may be argued but for me its true) and has been for many years,as the forefront of the rock scene. The country's premiere rock band that has earned the respect of both the established and aspiring musicians officially bid farewell.
I could not imagine the music scene without them. And yes I never imagined writing about them breaking up let alone write this piece.
Its the saddest news since the Death of NU 107. And this is another huge blow right on the crotch of the dying rock scene here in the Philippines.
Im no expert in the music scene but I can imagine that this will have a big impact on the business. I can only hope that the new bands will at least try to live up if not surpass the standards that this band has set.
The level of energy on their performances, the professionalism that they have exuded and the genuine love and passion for their craft should be emulated by the coming generations of rock groups.
"This is not goodbye" writes Bamboo. While for some it may be cliche, I sincerely hope he meant that. We lost him early on in the decade when he left Rivermaya, it will be tragic if we won't be able to hear him sing again.
