Anthem The Concert
The DB Abante 90 25th year reunion in cooperation with 13th Apparel Tactical Gunstore invites all Bosconians to Anthem The Concert. The event will feature Manila rock and roll band Razorback and Cebu’s very own Franco. The event will also have the special participation of Morisette Amon.
Anthem The Concert is on Saturday January 24, 2015 at the Pacific Grand Ballroom Waterfront Hotel and Casino. Tickets are priced at 500-700 pesos.
Razorback is one of the Philippine’s longest running and most bad-ass rock and roll band. The Wild Boars of Pinoy Rock, as they are fondly known, have been rocking the country’s seediest basement clubs to the biggest stadiums since 1990. Razorback is composed of Kevin Royon vocals, Tirso Ripoll on guitars, Manuel, Legarda on guitars, Louie Talan on bass and Brian Velasco on Drums.
Franco started as a collaboration project between its members, who are veterans of the Pinoy rock scene. However, Franco’s roots are traced from the Cebu-based band Frank, which Reyes formed in 1996. Frank was one of the bands that boosted the Cebu rock scene, In late 2008, Alipe, Mendoza, Toleran and Meneses collaborated with Reyes, who returned to the Philippines, to form Franco.
In 2009, they released their self-titled full-length album under MCA Music. Music videos for “Cast Away” and their latest single “This Gathering” were aired on Filipino music channel MYX. Franco also dominated the 2010 NU Rock Awards by winning four awards—Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “This Gathering”, Album of the Year for their self-titled album, and the Listeners’ Choice Award.
