I've never seen these interviews before, so... sharing. There's little bits and pieces in there that you may not know about the band. Enjoy.

Call to Arms vid

May 21st, 2010

I just saw the Call to Arms video. Footage of the band performing was great- especially when the confetti started to fly around. But the rest of the video was just... stupid (okay, I'll just say it could've been better).

See it here.

Franco and cynicism

May 18th, 2010

Here's some interesting news: Franco Reyes defends himself after being accused of recruiting already-famous musicians to ensure an 'easy climb to the top'.

Excerpt:

It’s easy to understand Reyes’ seeming defensiveness. This early in the band’s career, Reyes had to fend off accusations that he had shrewdly co-opted his band members for their inherent pull and “star power” simply to carve for himself a quick and easy route to the top.

A swift look at the group seem to support this fact considering that Reyes has, for sidemen, some of the more illustrious names in local rock: Gabby Alipe (of Urbandub) on guitars; Jan Jan Mendoza (again, of Urbandub) on drums; Buwi Meneses (of Parokya Ni Edgar) on bass; and Paolo “8” Toleran (of Queso) on additional guitars.

And with the band choosing his first name as moniker similar to that other “super” group, Bamboo- Reyes is forced to explain himself to the jaded press.

“We are all friends, first and foremost,” Reyes insisted. “It’s not as if I picked them myself, like 'hey I’ll grab this guy because he is famous' or 'I’ll grab this one because he is good-looking.' It’s not like that, man, not like that at all.”

You can read the full article here. Here's another slightly-related link.

Here's my opinion: Let the music speak for itself. If it's terrible, then you are very well free to accuse them of whatever.

A Decade of 'Dub'

May 16th, 2010

Manila Bulletin made a small article describing Urbandub's 10th anniversary party in Manila. Read it here.

Update: One more

"The higher-than-usual price didn't deter them, either. Five hundred pesos for a ticket is pretty steep, even with two beers included. People were there because they absolutely, truly loved the band."
