salamat sa mga nagpunta’t nanood ng PHacoustics kagabi, sept. 23, 2005 sa ph auditorium. ticket price ay P30, murang mura, galing probinsya, featuring seven, oo, seven rising bands of the year. this acoustic concert was made possible by the Public Health Artists Circle. pero walang silbi din ang description na ito kasi, gaya ng sabi ko, nagpapasalamat na lang kami sa mga pumunta’t nanood ng PHacoustics…tapos na kasi eh, kagabi pa yun. wala na, hintay nalang kayo ulit ng 17 years bago kami magka-gig ulit.
pero konteng kwento tungkol sa sampler set namin kagabi. tumugtog kami ng apat na kanta, tas meron ding soundcheck. pero bago ang lahat meron akong kelangan i-acknowledge…
Fireproof Caloy was performing with a special guest sessionist, isang talantadong…este, tarentadong… errr, tarantadong…tsk, tsk, talentadong hayop…err, tao na nagngangalang bufford domingo. ang long-time friend and lover naming si buff ang nag-auxiliary percussions (bongos) sa tatlong kanta at lead vocals naman sa last song.
soundcheck was RAIN SONG ng IMAGO, simpleng-simple pero masaya tugtugin at masarap pakinggan. jam lang kami, ako (baho), si macgom (kahones), si kat (vocals) at buff (bongos), habang si ilian ay rumo-ronda’t naghahanap ng gitara…haha, tanga. first song was SUNTOK SA BUWAN, a cover song originally by SESSION ROAD. second song was an original composition, FIREPROOF CALOY’s very own, entitled 2578. the last two songs were covers as well, our humble renditions of PANAGINIP and UULITIN, both by the legendary POT. sa last song, UULITIN, binitawan ni buff ang bongos at kinareer ang kanyang pagkakanta. wala namang sablay…masyado…astig.
yun lang ang balita, hanggang sa muling pangungulit!
