kamikazee live - martin nyebera TOWER SESSIONS!
eraserheads, rivermaya, hale, NU107 then comes BAMBOO. it all comes down to the end when all bands found their niche, make that circle, enjoy the limelight, then comes the breakup.
indeed a shocker in the pinoy rock scene. after 4 successful albums who would have known it will come to an end. but as the band leader just said its not farewell as all of them will be continuing their lives and careers as a musician.
after 8 months from the band breakup Bamboo now a soloist is back in scene to promote his latest single release entitled “No water, No moon”. Preparing for the nationwide release of the single “Questions” in the Philippines on sept 22 nationwide, he will start the leg of the tour on the 24th in New York then Canada then back to California along with the Rap-idol Gloc-9 and the long awaited comeback of Glenn Jacinto (formerly Teeth).
so as i was left with just memories of images and videos during the coverage of the former band in 2008. here comes another chapter in just another time that Bamboo is back in the scene again as he polishes the finishing touches to his comeback album.
PRESS STATEMENT FROM POLYEAST RECORDS:
“From one spin of the most anticipated album in OPM rock this year, No Water, No Moon, Bamboo Mañalac’s first solo release under Polyeast Records, it is obvious that for him there would be life beyond his career as a frontman.
“Teamed with the top musicians in the record industry, he presents his musical visions that go beyond his craft and says, “Nothing’s changed. It’s the same pressure that I’ve always put on myself. Whether in a band or going out on my own, or whatever I do. Just wanting to push, claw and climb.”
“In one way, Mañalac is getting back to his jazz roots, and in another way he’s heading toward to what he’s known for: mainstream pop rock genre. Featuring the first single “Questions,” Bamboo said, “I felt this was a good intro to the album because it has a lot of colors and instrumentation that we have in the album in just one song. The song is personal but I thought it spoke of human experience.”
“The first single will be released in radio stations on September 22, 2011 at 10 am with a simultaneous airing nationwide. Bamboo, who himself produced and wrote most of the songs, has been in the United States for final mastering of the album and doing special performances showcasing his songs as this will also be released internationally. He’ll be back after the tour in time for the album release. Album release date and debut video will be announced later this month.”
BAMBOO North America tour dates:
Sept 24 - Umbrella Lounge, New York City
Sept 25 - The Opera House, Canada
Sept 30 - Los Angeles, California
Oct 1 - San Diego, California
Oct 7 - Vancouver, Canada
Oct 8 - San Francisco, California
Oct 9 - Anchorage, AK

introvoys 25th anniv preview
the day arrived when the band decided to play on their 25th anniversary in a historic way just like the rockers from steppenwolff, 3dog night, to flock of seagulls to mick jagger to korn, 311, to 10000maniacs. huh you get the drift!
i went straight up on the backstage, meeting paco and jonathan in the backstage with a greeting and a hug from a long time friend. barely recognizing paco wearing his hooded shirt covering his head, jeans and a pair of shades worried if the crowd will be there to support them. i nodded and assured it will be fine.
then i went to the other dressing room and jonathan was making his final notes asking if everything was ok. these guys are truly my amazing friends who after all these years are so humble and yet rockstars in my world!
these are the treasured fans that supported the concert
here is the band on random order:
aside from the band paco’s eldest son Heaven also wowed the crowd.

rockin the crowd from 9p-12a every fan got their money’s worth on this concert as the band wanted to give every single fan the best of their collective talent that after 25years theyre still around. mabuhay ang introvoys!
