THE PASSING OF THE TORCH TO THE GUYS AT COUNTER CULTURE


We're so proud to say that we had earned our bragging rights from the get go when Bisikleta Productions first started. The brains behind this operations was a bragging right in itself. His name alone is enough proof that this production is one heck of a force to be reckoned with. 

The man i am talking about is non other than Luis "Weslu" Guiang. He's the man behind the kit of PRIVATE STOCK, G.I, AND THE IDIOTS & PUT3SKA. He also played drums for TROPICAL DEPRESSION and sessioned for THE JERKS. 

It's a great honor and a privileged for me to be a part of BISIKLETA PRODUCTIONS we had featured and supported great local talents for almost 7 years and we had our fair share of visiting foreign musicians as well as one well known DJ on our shores and it would be a shame not to name drop each and every one of them since this is one of our bragging rights let me now tell you who they are even though we can not afford to bring in foreign bands we are extremely blessed by the presence of these fine individuals: Ryan Kunimura of GO JIMMY GO jammed with PINKCOW, Keb Darge rocked the crowd with his rare as hen's teeth rockabilly 45s at the now defunct bar of Put3Ska's vocalist the Ten 02 Bar & Resto, Eddie Ocampo of THE STUBBORN ALL STARS had jammed with NEIGHBORS and lastly Korey Kingston Horn of HEPCAT, THE AGGROLITES, WESTERN STANDARD TIME and SUEDEHEAD had graced Counter Culture Fridays last February 8 rocking the crowd with his superb drumming.

And now as Bisikleta Productions passed the torch to the guys at Counter Culture as it is now their time to earn their laurel through Counter Culture Fridays. 

POST SCRIPT: If you missed last Friday's show you can head on down tonight at B - Side in Malugay Street, Makati City at The Collective for an authentic reggae refresher to cap your weekend courtesy of IRIE SUNDAY watch Korey Kingston Horn for the very last time as he will jam with Manila's only reggae band that matters non other than TROPICAL DEPRESSION.
