SOULBRATZ -- reminiscing the good old days

Do you know how it feels to be in a band? Carefree – that’s how I can describe it. It is supple to be with people who actually share the same passion as you do. I think it applies not only to band members but everybody who are into the same thing. But being in a band is not like any other hobby parents would usually allow their children to indulge to. Not only because of the image of band members that they usually see on TV but also because of the schedule or the time of the gigs.


Aside from that, I personally think it depends upon the person if he or she would allow herself to get drunk before or after the show, make use of the time hanging out of friends and doing whatever everybody else is doing. I think it is more of a personal decision and indulge in whatever kind of fun he or she enjoys.


Being with them is just being with my other close friends. I used to enjoy their company and would meet every Sunday or even after school practicing and listening to new songs. Anyway, to have the feeling back again after a few years of being separated, below is a sample of what was recorded during the days when we used to hang around just everywhere and doing nothing but come up with new compositions and songs.







During our gig in Octane bar







This was during a street party held at Juan Luna Street






This is just few of the pictures we have of Dexter. I took this one during my visit on their Music shop. We were playing one of his compositions here.






The boys were so thoughtful when they visited me at our house and just hanged out. Ian and Roma were not around so it's just the four of us in this picture.




Basically, our genre is rock alternative. The guys wanted it to be rock but since their vocals are both girls that couldn't possibly happen. We had diverse thoughts and ideas, we also had our misunderstandings along the way but still, we managed to deal with our differences.

This is just a raw recording and thanks to "IAN" who made all the effort to edit (to whichever part of the song that badly needs some editing) and took some time to tag us all to reminisce those days.

I personally am ashamed to bring this out at the same time proud of what we have, but since Ian already posted this in FB as well in YouTube, so for old times' sake, here it goes.
