Sweet, rock and a whole lot of bold, the 90s were an era of
statement making music that shook the core and revitalized Philippine music.
Hear the pulse raising hits in “90s Overload” happening on November 17, 2018 at
The Theatre at Solaire.
“90s Overload reminisces the era when Original Pilipino
Music (OPM) found its footing in the rock scene. The grungy, attitude-filled
acoustics merged with the soulful lyrics that is normally the signature of our
ballads were what made it appealing and relatable. The 90s music were statement
makers which made them click with a wide audience then, and even with today’s
younger generation,” says Solaire Resort & Casino’s Director for
Entertainment Audie Gemora.
The concert will bring together the 90s most iconic band
voices to sweep its audience onto its currents. Jek Manuel of IAXE Band, Cooky
Chua of Color It Red, Lei Bautista of Prettier than Pink, Paco Arespacochaga of
Introvoys, Perf De Castro of Rivermaya, Glenn Jacinto of Teeth, Wency Cornejo
of After Image, Myra Ruaro of Put3ska, Naldy Padilla of Orient Pearl, Dodong
Cruz of The Youth, Stephen Lu of Rizal Underground and Noel Palomo of Siakol
will sing their most prolific songs to bring in the nostalgia tide after tide.
Myra Ruaro of Put3ska shares that the 90s music scene was a
time when ingenuity was abundant, “The Pinoy 90s music scene was the time of
great musical opportunities for artists and bands with truly creative and
unique original compositions. There was so much talent coming from the rock
scene and the musicians’ diverse musical personas made the vibe truly exciting
and progressive.” The diversity in sound, interpretation and style created a
culture where each is a mentor to the other, “Everyone knew everyone and
supported each other’s music. Though we had our own unique sound and identity,
we were all part of one community, one family, one barkada,” says Prettier than Pink’s Lei Bautista.
The era’s richness in musical material that spoke to one in
a personal level made it difficult for most to pick which they would consider
as their 90s anthem. But for some, there are songs that are more long-lasting
than others. Cooky Chua of Color It Red cites “Nanaman” from their band’s first album, “Ito yung pinaka unang kantang nasulat ng banda namin for Ateneo
Fair”, while for Rizal Underground’s Stephen Lu, “It would be “Alapaap”. The lyrics brings us to a
different level of high. The music has its rock feel but with pop
sensibilities”.
Asked what they’re looking forward to in their upcoming
concert, the four artists gave the same answers. “We want to bring back the
audience to the 90s and recreate the same energy and atmosphere while we get to
hang out with old and new artist friends, says Lei. Cooky adds, “Sabi ko nga kay Wency (Cornejo), I do
this for the friendship and bonding. It feels good to hang out with the artists
na kasama dito, hindi trabaho.”
Concert goers will definitely witness a big jamming session
of their favorites 90s anthems that will make them unconsciously bob their
heads, sing along, and jump up from their seats.
