8 Rock Legends Performing at the ‘Icons of Pinoy Rock’ Concert

Icons-of-Pinoy-Rock_H

Local rock musicians will converge at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City on June 6 for the ‘Icons of Pinoy Rock’ concert.

The much-anticipated, historic event, which was conceptualized by RJ Jacinto, will feature rock artists who have achieved legendary status in the local music scene. These Philippine rock icons will be coming together for the benefit and launch of the Pinoy Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
Here are 8 rock musicians who will be performing at ‘Icons of Pinoy Rock’:

 

8. Resty Fabunan

Hardcore fans will remember Resty from his Psyclones days. He made it big during the height of Pinoy Rock with his band Maria Cafra, which, to much delight, is back in business. Only a little bit shy of 70, Resty hasn’t lost one bit of his prowess on a guitar or his magic with writing music.

7. Marc Abaya

Marc Abaya started out as a frontman for Sandwich but formed his own band Kjwan with some of his closest friends. Kjwan has produced four albums since 2004, containing crowd-moving hits like “Daliri” and “Pintura.” Apart from fronting a band, Abaya also acts. He has appeared in several tv shows and films over the years.

6. Kevin Roy

Kevin Roy is the vocalist of the band Razorback and is the brother of the late Karl Roy. He lists New Wave, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin as some of his musical influences. Razorback has been a staple in the local rock scene, and has produced singles like “Giyang” and “Voodoo, Who Do?”

5. Basti Artadi

Basti Artadi is the frontman of Wolfgang, a band heavily influenced by Western rock artists like Metallica, Pearl Jam, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd, among others.

They’ve produced mic-clenching singles like “Halik ni Hudas,” “Mata ng Diyos,” and “Atomica”; they are also the lone Filipino rock band to have released albums in Japan and the United States. Artadi has won Vocalist of the Year at the NU107 Rock Awards several times.

4. Raimund Marasigan

Over the years the Eraserheads have become a household name, and Raimund Marasigan is probably the most versatile rock musician from the bunch. Apart from Eraserheads, Marasigan is a member of Sandwich (vocalist), Pedicab (keyboard/synths), Cambio (drummer), Project 1 (vocalist), and Gaijin (bass). Marasigan is also a record producer.

3. Ely Buendia

Everyone knows Ely Buendia. He was the frontman of the now-defunct Eraserheads which was the most prominent and influential bands to come from the rich 90s era of Pinoy rock that spawned many successful bands including Rivermaya, Razorback and Wolfgang. Currently, Buendia is a member of two bands: Pupil and Oktaves.

2. RJ Jacinto

RJ Jacinto is the reason why this event is happening. The ‘Icons of Pinoy Rock’ concert is RJ’s idea of celebrating his birthday, and the launch of the Pinoy Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame is his way “to preserve and recognize all the great Filipino musicians for both the musicians and the generations to come.” He is most recognized for his band in the 60s, RJ and the Riots, which was one of the first Pinoy bands to adopt electric instruments and the first to release original rock n’ roll songs.

1. Pepe Smith

Pepe Smith is the ultimate Pinoy Rock icon. He and his Juan de la Cruz Band was perhaps the most notable of the Filipino rock era in the 70s after producing hits like “Beep Beep,” “Himig Natin,” “No Touch,” and “Titser’s Enemy No. 1.”
