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.?
