Who says Manila should have all the fun?

There are many places in the country that hold the heart of rock and roll dearest to them and Cavite is one of them.

It’s worth taking a short road trip this Saturday May 17 to witness one of the heaviest lineups in the country stage a repeat after 15 years: Greyhoundz,  Wolfgang and Razorback performing as Wolves, Boars and Houndz in Kalampagan 2014 in Montano Hall, Cavite City.

 


1999 was a long time ago

What’s important about this show is that the last time the three bands were all together in one stage was at the Music Museum in 1999 for a recorded show that was released as a full length album called “Soundcheck: The Live Recordings” back then they were label mates under Sony Music.

The line-up that evening also included rock band Da Pulis, fronted by comedian Gabe Mercado and guitarist Jay Ignacio.

Through the years each went on to play with the other, in multi-band events, but the three never headlined a show together.

 


Two years in the making

The idea for Wolves, Boars, Houndz has been brewing since 2012.

Greyhoundz manager Bubi Sanchez said it came about when Razorback and Greyhoundz went on a bar tour last year as Boars and Houndz.

The pairing was made because Greyhoundz thought it would be an honor to perform alongside one of their major musical influences, which happened to be Razorback.


Another rock legend guests

Then, vocalist “Basti (Artadi) wanted Wolfgang to be part of the Boars and Houndz campaign,” said Sanchez.

“Who would say no to that? Tutal kinalakihan naman ng Houndz ang Wolfgang kasabay ng Razorback,” he added.

Upping the musical ante is the inclusion of legendary Juan dela Cruz Band guitarist Wally Gonzalez, who’s set to jam with Razorback during the show.

There was an attempt to reunite the three bands last December 2013. Unfortunately, Wolfgang singer Basti Artadi got sick at the last minute and the dream lineup did not push through.
