020506 -- Battle of the Bands




CCAP's Finals for the Battle of the Bands was held last February 5, 2006. It was held at Le Pavillion in Roxas Boulevard. There were 8 finalists from different call centers.





Performers were 6 Cycle Mind, Mojofly, Parokya ni Edgar and Rivermaya. Chito and the rest really brought the house the down. We so enjoyed their performance. Nakakatuwa sya. He even sang Manny Pacquiao's song, pero yung chorus lang.

The biggest surprise of the night was Rivermaya. They weren't supposed to be there in the first place. Ang nakalagay sa tickets is Bamboo. Well, I guess these two bands really can't stand each other kaya one has to leave. Unfortunately, it was Bamboo who had to give way. Imagine my consternation when the CCAP Chairman announced that due to unavoidable circumstances, Bamboo won't be able to perform. Kainis! And I'm sure na hindi lang ako ang nainis. Afterall, we were all expecting for Bamboo to perform. Ang hindi ko lang talaga ma-gets is kung bakit of all bands, e Rivermaya pa ang pumalit. Bakit hindi na lang Hale, o kaya Spongecola, o kaya kahit sino basta hindi sila. Buti na lang we didn't have to pay for the tickets.

In all honesty, ClientLogic deserved to win. Carry naman nila yung may-pagka-Rage Against the Machine na style nila. Marvin, the vocalist (Myra Ruaro of Pu3ska's hubby) was nice. We chanced upon him sa parking and John started a conversation with him. Buti na lang, nice sya kaya ok lang sa kin na they won.

Convergys was ok din. Since the Elimination round naman, sila na yung bet ko.




It was a great night, but John and his bandmates didn't win. I guess the judges weren't in to show bands.

All in all, I enjoyed the event, but not too much kasi nga hindi nanalo sila John and I didn't see Bamboo.
