Junior Kilat vs. 6 Cyclemind

I’m always partial to anything that’s tatak Cebu. And that includes music. Although I should say di sad jud basta-basta ang musikang bisdak. Take for one, the Junior Kilat composition. Man, it still has that certain quality that bands from Manila fail to achieve for their own music.

Last night, this Cebu-based bank proved their point at a mini concert event held at Outpost bar (Nivel Hills, Lahug), that even Budoy would just murmur the lyrics of the song or make some adlibs (I’m not really that familiar of their songs so I wouldn’t know if he—who was dressed like an Igorot/Rastafarian last night—was really serious with his business), the musical instruments and whatever mixes their DJ had that night was so powerful, you could not help but dance even in your seat. I mean, whatever Budoy may say on his mike (even if he will only have: “salmo responsorio, ang atong tubag” as his main line), with the creativeness of their group in coming up with quality reggae music, the band always rocks.

And when 6 Cyclemind finally took the stage, I was already too tired to listen to their noise, I mean, music. Well, maybe I was very close to the amplifiers, that was why I could not distinguish music from noise.

But I really did not like it when most of the audience pretended they did not know what to say after “Hoy, Agta!”

“Gaunsa ka diha?” ra biya na! Hello?
