To appreciate what’s going on in the local music circuit, the general rule here is to agree that we are all moving constantly. As to where we still have to find out. The ‘how’ factor is up to you… and us. Keep things in a learning curve and it’s going to be fine. There’ll be more to come.
The Cebu music scene is as healthy as it ever was.”
I think it’s time to go pop now. Sorry band mates. You have Jude Gitamondoc to blame.

CEBU’s art scene is probably one of the most alive in the country today, with local musicians, painters, filmmakers, photographers, poets, writers and other artists churning out works like their lives (not livelihood) depended on it.
They are not difficult to find. Check out places like Kukuk’s Nest, Turtle’s Nest, Handuraw, The Outpost and other similar holes and they are there, guzzling beer, discussing Kant, rehashing jokes, plotting revolutions, or simply staring at empty space.
They are many, if you consider how Cebu is just a small community. And their number is growing, with more and more artists from neighboring provinces in the Visayas coming here in search of soul mates and a place to call home.
They may not be a tight, first-name-basis community but they are a sharing group, with disciples of one form of art sharing tables with those of another form of art. They know their works complement each other, so they pass art around, like glass in a tagay session. They have a word for it: collaboration.
In many occasions, the sharing comes in the form of seminars and workshops: veterans guiding neophytes, or wannabes inspiring has-beens (it doesn’t matter) – both ensuring that the art scene lives at least a generation longer.
They may not know it, but the generosity local artists are showing to each other is what keeps Cebu’s art scene going. (By Jimi Stuart Salvador)

Mao ni ang nahitabo sa “3rd album.” Nakarecord na mig five (or was it six?) songs sa Zzubu Studios late 2006 and early last year. Nasud na tanang instrumento (except for some minor additions that I’m sure we would be having later on in the recording). Generally, akoang vocals nalang kuwang. Nalangay lang kay sige’g gigs (it was the time when the so-called “bisrock” was making it big in the Visayas and Mindanao areas). Also, I had yet to finish the lyrics of some of the songs.
