pinay rock bands...

[kingka]

has anyone heard of the folowing groups???

Barbie's Caradle...

Mojofly....


just started listening to them last night, I've never though much about music from the philipines befor, but after listeing to their albums, I'm pretty curious as to wether or not other groups sound this good. is this typical pinay rock? or what?

[phism]

i thought they were all djs

[fauve-io]

i like the rock band Wolfgang

they're like Guns and Roses

[falcor]

i used to watch wolfgang when they were just starting out. i was in 9th grade. don't really dig them - i liked advent call a lot better but unfortunately they broke up and the singer carl roy formed another band called p.o.t. which is more funk, like the red hot chili peppers. didn't really listen to a lot of pinay bands but i did like parokya ni edgar and the eraserheads a lot.

[amboy]

yeah i like eraserheads too.

has anyone ever heard that song 'medyo bastos' a female singer and accompanied by acoustic guitar? who sings it?

[CaptainPajamaShark]

don't forget the thrash band, Death Angel....I believe they're all Pinay. I don't think they're around anymore though.

[kingka]

has GR done a feature on pinay rock bands???

I want them to interview Barbie's Angel and Mojofly.

[fauve-io]

parokya ni edgar is fun

death angel broke into the association, swarm, and then reformed now

I saw death angel when they were first around, and I saw them again about two years ago at some multi-band bill. Great band.

I saw the swarm open for Jerry Cantrell, and they were terrible.

[mumeishi]

oooh.. eraserheads!

do they sing "poor man's grave"? i like that song.

[kingka]

mahal kita

[kingka]

yes.

[kingka]

I like mojofly...

[kingka]

yes, it's true

[drystereo]

have you guys heard of fanny?

they're a rockn'roll outfit from the 70's....and two of the founding members are filipina....

they even have some beatles connections i believe....like i think george harrison suggested the band name.....

[kingka]

never heard of them....

hasn't anyone listened to any recent pinay rock bands??? I mean, from the 98-2003... seems as though most people only know old groups..

[falcor]

i've heard cherry bomb but i doubt they've got any recordings. 15-yr old drummer, girl bassist and girl singer and a guy guitarist. they're hardcore. the drummer's really good tho.

i hate to say it but it's 'cause most of them are horrible.

well...let's see recent...there's Kitchie Nadal but you can hardly call her rock.

i really don't know. there aren't alot.

hehe i'm kinda old fashioned when it comes to pinoy music - i could never really get into the new rock bands. anyone heard of Apo Hiking Society? they're so old!

don't get me wrong though Eraserheads are one of my favs. the whole Manila scene isn't going down with me though.

If you want to purchase music from Pinoy bands, there's a shitload of them on this site (http://www.indiecultureonline.com). You'll especially want to check out Radioactive Sago Project, Sheila And The Insects, <S>andwich, Cambio, and Twisted Halo.

If you do a Youtube search for these bands, you'll get to see a video or two there as well.

POT just rereleased their only album. I guess they remastered it or something. I'm not really sure what they did. They added a couple of tracks on the rerelease though.

Y'all might also want to pick up Filipino (http://www.divisoria.net/flbdoabbmucd.html) by Dong Abay, who used to front Yano (http://divisoria.stores.yahoo.net/2in1sebyabmu.html), a cross between The Clash and The Violent Femmes. Lots of socio-political overtones in his music.

If dreampop's your thing, there's a rerelease of Sugar Hiccup's (http://divisoria.stores.yahoo.net/2in1sebsuhib.html) first two albums for the price of one CD! This comes highly recommended. Too bad BMG didn't decide to include the original liner notes.

Then there's also Color It Red (http://divisoria.stores.yahoo.net/coitredb2in1.html). Their vocalist has the same uncanny tone of Margo Timmons. In fact, they sound like a more upbeat Cowboy Junkies.
