As promised, the Pandi Battle of the Bands (PBOB) Grand Winner ATE KUROT, was given a chance to perform in one of Metro Manila's hottest rock joint, PURPLE HAZE in Tomas Morato, Quezon City last January 16, 2008. The BUZZ COCKS who also joined them wowed the crowd with their pure love for music. Salute to these kids because aside from being amazing musicians, these 15-year olds are A students as well. Like what Cookie Chua stressed last PBOB, music is an outlet for the youth these days but they should never neglect their education, which should be given priority. Pandi Tourism Council Chairman Dr. Rachel Oca was also on hand to support the bands on their debut gig.
Other bands who performed were ALAKPA, YOSHA, FMD (which stands for Foot and Mouth Disorder) and EARTHLINGS, upcoming pride of Malabon. ATE KUROT and DAMALEDARIAN were nervous at first but loosened up once they were on stage, making beautiful music for the crowd.
Thru this experience, the amateur rock bands hopefully gained some insights and precious experiences in different aspects, to guide them in their future endeavors. It is the dream of TalentoPandi organizers to see these young bands develop their talents further, create their own style of music, and be recognized.
Asenso, mga KaPandi!!
