TRUE
to its slogan of giving its audience nothing but their
choice, their music, MYX, the Philippines’ leading
music channel brought the hottest OPM bands to Boracay
for one evening of fun and excitement with the first-ever
Summer MYX Fest, held last April 20 at Club Paraw
and Cocomangas Bar.
The event was a mixture of good music and camaraderie
between artists, beach lovers and music fans, with
the band members willingly mingling and posing for
pictures with their fans, and the crowd gamely participating
in the fun games hosted by MYX VJs Iya Villania, Nikki
Gil, Geoff Eigenmann, Karel Marquez and Luis Manzano.
Upcoming all-girl band Wake Up Your Seatmate kicked
off the celebration with their promising performance,
followed by a cool and energetic set from Imago. MYX
Music Awards 2007 Favorite Group and big winner Sponge
Cola delighted their fans, young and old alike with
their hit songs and funky vibe onstage.
OPM band 6Cyclemind added more thrill to the night
when vocalist Ney and drummer Tutti hosted a game
that asked participants to concoct the perfect summer
drink, followed by a vigorous set from them, as they
gave their alternative hits a bouncy reggae feel,
especially made for their Boracay audience.
And finally, everyone received a very pleasant surprise
when top OPM rock band Sandwich, who was also in Boracay
for a gig the night before, decided to play and party
with the crowd with their “Boracay mix”
rendition of their song “Sunburn.” And
for the finale, the OPM artists led by Sandwich vocalist
Raymund Marasigan jammed together in their song “Sugod”,
which made the Summer MYX Fest a huge hit.
Overwhelmed by the success of this event, the people
behind MYX are considering to make the Summer MYX
Fest an annual event, just like their MYX MO! and
MYX Music Awards.
The Summer MYX Fest will be aired on MYX, now available
through TFC.? |
