subject: Tanduay First Five Invades Metro Cebu [print this page] It has come down to this big event as five of the best bands in the country hit the Queen City of the South for what promises to be this year's biggest rock band extravaganza. The Tanduay First Five nationwide concert tour has already kicked off in style last April 10 in Boracay and eventually toured cities like Tagum, Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod, Lipa, Sta. Rosa (Laguna), Naga, Legaspi, Ozamis, Dipolog, Tarlac, San Fernando (Pampanga), Puerto Princesa, San Fernando (La Union), Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, and Tacloban before jamming with fans at the Parkmall's West Parking Area in Mandaue City on December 4.
Though this rock concert tour was Tanduay Distillers, Inc.'s own way of celebrating its 155 years in the beverage industry, the company has decided to treat its loyal consumers another concert tour that includes five of the country's most sought after rock bands like 6cyclemind, ChicoSci, Sandwich, Kamikazee, and Bamboo.
All rock band enthusiasts will converge upon this big event for a night of nonstop music and all out musical showmanship. See your favorite rockstars in the flesh, get their precious autographs, and have your picture taken for this memorable event.
Led lead vocalist "Ney" Dimaculangan and supported by guitarists "Rye" Sarmiento, "Chuck" Isidro, "Bob" Caamo, and drummer "Tutti" Caringal, 6cyclemind is known for their creative fusion of pop and alternative music.
ChicoSci is one of the forerunners of the new generation of rock anchored by their highly-acclaimed Revenge of the Giant Robot that created hits like Soopafly, Amen, and Sink or Swim. What started out as a band formed by young Atenistas, ChicoSci is led by an enigmatic group of musicians like "Miggy" Chavez, "Mong" Alcaraz, "Macoy" Estacio, and Ariel Lumanlan. They won several awards including the Awit Awards for Best Rock Recording and Best Directed Video in the 2010 MTV Pilipinas Awards. They eventually went on to perform in Singapore and Malaysia.
Formed by Raymund Marasigan of the Eraserheads fame, Sandwich has built up its own legion of fans and eventually distanced itself from Marasigan's erstwhile band with their distinctive rhythm and style. Also part of the band are Marasigan's wife Myrene, guitarists "Mong Alcaraz and Diego Castillo, and drummer Mike Dizon.
These Iskolars ng Bayan rockstars formed Kamikazee, a rock band famous for their renditions of Ariel Rivera's "Sana Kahit Minsan" and theme song for the telenovela "Darna." Backing up lead vocalist Jay Contreras are "Jomal" Linao, Led Zeppelin Tuyay, Jason Astete, and Allan "Bords" Burdeos. The band has evolved from their early campus gigs noted for their explicative-laced performances to a top rock band with collaborations with noted Parokya ni Edgar rockstar Chito Miranda of Parokya ni Edgar.
