The event was headlined by mostly UPLB/LB-rooted bands. First to perform was Brownskil, playing live for the first time after months of rehearsing in the studio. This group is a rebirth of lead singer and guitarist Tonio Costales' old acoustic group Grain, with much of his old originals getting a fresh rearrangement.
Next up is host band Sundown Muse, performing original songs from their two releases. The band was tight, with lead singer and guitarist Briggs Baritugo setting the mood and tempo of the night.
Then came SAM's set. We were a little queasy at first but then got the hang of the set after a while. Unfortunately, our guitarist Eric and bassist Ian came down with the flu the last minute so they weren't able to play that night. Awkward as it was, The 3 available members got thru the night without disappointing even impressing some of the mostly UP Jammers' club alumni and friends crowd.
Monk's Hood played next with their tight hard rock originals and some fun covers, with Costales jamming on one of the covers that they did. Closing the night was local metal heroes Valley of Chrome who ended the night on a very powerful high note.
Everybody is hoping that a reprise of this event can be done soon, hopefully in Makati or LB! Til the next LB Nights!
