SUPERBANDS

Project1's infectious single have created a lot of buzz and intrigues among followers of the local music scene. questions have been raised but it was only until they released a video when this superband's members have been named. their entry to the music scene came off like a wildfire. and now we all know who they are, the world can sit back, relax, enjoy the music and calmly say "ang sarap dito".

i guess it wasn't until Project1 that superbands have created much hype among the public. There have been a few who've shared their music to us that are worth mentioning and one of them is Cambio. They've had 2 albums under their name and Cambio of course took their superband status to another level in their latest video Pasaway. The concept was that each member of the band appeared with their other respective bands. Members are: Kris Gorra-Dancel on vox, Diego Mapa on guitars, Ebe Dancel on guitars, Buddy Zabala on bass and Raimund Marasigan on drums.

I wouldn't know if you would consider Pedicab under this category but nevertheless they're still worth mentioning. With Diego Mapa on vox, Jason Caballa on guitars, RA Rivera on visuals and multimedia, Raimund Marasigan on keyboard synths and Mike Dizon on drums, these guys are due for their sophomore album. I just heard their single this week which probably means that they're at the end of their recording or waiting for its release.

Another one is The Bitter Pill. They haven't been so active recently and I have no news about them. no myspace page but they have a yahoogroups, but still news about them there either. Nevertheless, they still fit into this section. Though i would say they're the indie superband they also have an impressive roster with the Mong Alcaraz of Sandwich/Chicosci, Mikey Amistoso of Ciudad, Isa Garcia of Cousin Ed, Diego Castillo of Sandwich, and Pao Santiago of Join the Club completing the line-up.
