[PRESSCON] BY REQUEST: BAMBOO & YENG THE CONCERT

It all started with a production number in ASAP when Bamboo & Yeng Constatino were paired to do a cover of Eurythmics’s Here Comes The Rain Again...

[Photo by Kris Rocha]

Both Bamboo and Yeng are at the top of of their careers and this idea of them having a concert together is probably the most anticipated team up in the local concert scene this year. Bamboo being a certified platinum rock superstar and now a coach at The Voice Of The Philippines, and Yeng being the country’s pop rock princess who‘s making waves as a singer and songwriter and now an ambassadress of Academy Of Rock in Singapore. With all those achievements on their belts, the two humbly exchanged praises with each other during the press conference held recently at Plaza Ibarra in QC.

Yeng Constantino [Photo by Kris Rocha]

“I see she is someone with a plan… I see it in her eyes. When you do a particular song, you want to conquer that song, you want to attack that song. And that’s what I like and what I see. You put yourself full heartedly into the music… and when I see her do that, I admire that.” – Bamboo

Bamboo [Photo by Kris Rocha]

“Yung nakikita mo sa kanya, onstage and off stage… pag rehearsal pa lang pag-kinanta nya yung isang kanta… feeling mo yun na yung wakas nung song. Pero ‘pag dinala na niya sa stage, lalo pa niya inaangat. Nakaka-challenge yun para sa isang artist na katulad ko… gusto ko maging ganun! Inspirational yung dating, gusto mo rin itaasa yung sarili mo as a singer, as an artist, kasi nakakita ka ng isang ganung klaseng performance.” – Yeng


When Manila Concert Scene asked them if they are planning to do collaboration for a song or an album after their concert, both said right away that they want to do it. Bamboo explained that it should come out natural, “If may mangyari, if may masulat siya or may masulat akong song, if bagay… why not. It has to come natural.”

Bamboo answers questions from the press. [Photo by Kris Rocha]

Yeng added, “…right timing, right song, alam mo lang eh. ‘Pag nilabas mo, alam mo lang. So, agree ako sa kanya na hindi sya something na dapat ipilit. Kung ako tatanungin gusto ko yun.”

Yeng cheerfully answers question from the press. [Photo by Kris Rocha]

Rehearsals for the show haven’t started yet and both are still getting to know each other as musicians. Yeng shared that each time she gets to talk to Bamboo, it is like opening a gift full of surprises. Like during their recent radio tour, they first got a chance to talk about Bamboo’s influences and how he became what he is today. Yeng, lost for words, expressed how stunned she was, “Wow… parang something na bago. nakaka-ano ng puso, hindi ko alam yun pakiramdam na yun. Pero something na may nakukuha kang bago.”

Bamboo shares his thoughts about music. [Photo by Kris Rocha]

Despite having though competitions in the local music scene, Bamboo doesn’t sees it that way. He said that attacking should only happen while performing the song, “Iba yung pag nagperform ka, you have an eye of a tiger. It’s the song that you’re attacking. It’s with the performance, what you want to bring out for yourself. Pero hindi yung kasama mo, or yung ibang musikero, banda, singer na kasama mo.”

This is going to be their first major concert in the Big Dome that’s why it’s very challenging and special for both artists.  They assured everyone that it’s going to be exciting, as they are preparing new stuff that will surely surprise their fans.  The set list for the show is determined by fans’ requests on Twitter, so expect that they’ll be singing only the songs you like!

To get a taste of what's in store on August 17, check out this video of Bamboo & Yeng singing their version of This Love in front of the press.



BY REQUEST: BAMBOO & YENG THE CONCERT is presented by Cornerstone Concerts. Tickets are available in all Ticketnet outlets nationwide and online via www.ticketnet.com.ph. For more info, call 911-55555.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE 101

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE 101

Written by CARLA ADLAWANA

Face-melting, ear-splitting, mind-numbing, brutal...

This is the closest you can get to an explosive experience without actual loss of limbs. 

This is Killswitch Engage. 

Considered by MTV as ‘one of the founders of metalcore’,  Killswitch Engage mixes apocalyptic guitar riffs in dual harmony and double-bass drum beats with melodic and screaming vocals.

The end result? A  head-banging soundtrip that is the audio equivalent of being hit in the face by Manny Pacquiao. 

Formed in 1999, Killswitch Engage is an American extreme metal and hardcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts. With the return of former frontman Jesse Leach, the rest of band’s current lineup includes bassist Mike D’ Antonio, guitarists Joel Stroetzel and Adam Dutkiewicz and drummer Justin Foley. 

The band got mainstream attention in 2004 with the release of ‘The End of Heartache’, which made its debut at number 21 on the Billboard 200. The album’s title track, similarly called ‘The End of Heartache’’, was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 47th Grammy Awards in 2005. This epic metal ballad also became the main single for the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse. 

With 6 studio albums under their belt, Killswitch Engage has cemented their place in the annals of rock history with hit singles: “My Last Serenade”, “In Due Time”, “Holy Diver”, “The Arms of Sorrow”, “Rose of Sharyn”, “Fixation in the Darkness” and a whole lot more. If you have found yourself time and again playing air-guitar in the privacy of your own room with the volume up to these songs, then we have got good news for you. 

With the release of their latest album ‘ Disarm the Descent’ comes the tour to end all tours. Finally, metalcore royalty is coming to Manila! 

It’s going to be one massive moshpit this July 31, 2013 when Killswitch Engage blows the roof off the Sky Dome at SM City North Edsa. 

Metalheads from all over the Philippines will expect nothing less. 

Killswitch Engage Live in Manila is brought to us by Pulp Live World
