I am part of a great band called Campo Xanto, by November 2006 we will be 10 years old. It is a band that thinks like friends first before behaving like bandmates. A band that continues to follow its musical vision, despite all odds. Part of my life will always be Campo Xanto, that is why I will never quit on the band.
At the same time I am trying to explore my individuality as an artist. So I'm making this solo project. Nothing profound, nothing deep just one of those brave/stupid freefall I do once in a while. :)Band/artist history
1971- First shouted to the world
1975- So bored in a gym while mom was choreographing fashion show routines but started to settle down when Barry White was played on the P.A.
1978- Found a liking for Alphonse Mouson when it was regularly played by a fratboy neighbor.
1980- Lip synched with a broom everytime an Auntie played Devo, Ultravox, B-52s and the Police. Punk rock kid, that's me!
1982- Developed a liking for Jim Croce and Shakatak when an uncle left tapes of the aforementioned artists in the house
1984- So into breakdancing, Michael Jackson with the real nose, Afrika Bambataa and early rap.
1985- Played in a punk band called The Unchained
doing originals and covers of the cure, billy idol, the clash and gang of four
1987- The unchained revolved into Ugat, a gothic- new wave-punk- ethnic outfit
1988- Formed an almost agit prop band-U2 meets R.E.M. outfit called My Weeping Days. The band figured actively in the Anti-U.S. bases ralies.
1992- Remnants of My Weeping Days became the emocore/world music/alternative outfit called rain eternal.
1996- Released Tacloban city's very first D.I.Y album called The Waiting songs. Rain Eternal disbands.
1996- Santo Trio, emerges. The blueprint for Campo Xanto
1997- Campo Xanto is launched
1998-2001 - Tours, countless battle of the bands, the band never lost a band competition.
2002- Campo Xanto wins Grand prize of Red Horse Muziklaban, the Philippines' grandest band battle. Guaranteed prizes like the EMI recording contract and Channel V MTV was not given by San Miguel Beer the sponsor of the contest.
2003- Mango Sun the demo album was released by Campo Xanto. The band was part a nationally released album called Balangiga 1901. The album included songs from Noel Cabangon, Radio Active Sago Project, the Jerks etc..
2004-2006- Campo Xanto continues to play music. 2 members left the band for Manila. Campo Xanto reforms with 3 new members and is decided to take a world music/drum n bass/alternative route. Jerby finally decides to do a solo side project,.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live anywhere, the farthest have been the Folk Arts Theater in Manila and the closest have been in my small resto bar called The Red Hut. I love being on the road, learning new cultures while doing music is the tastiest high.
