Gigs are so back
THE band PDO at 19 East.
Live gigs are back — delighting the fans of the musicians who are themselves itching to play for them.
A recent show that featured a rare appearance by Gary Granada at My Brother's Mustache in Quezon City drew a full-house crowd, which extended to the lobby of Hive, the hotel adjacent to the bar, both owned by Boy Vinzon.
Dong Abay, Bayang Barrios, and Ebe Dancel joined Granada onstage in a fun jam — never mind momentary flubs, including Granada himself who forgot the lyrics to one of his songs and stopped and laughingly proceeded to repeat the tune.
TONI jams with PDO.
Earlier Chickoy Pura gladly warmed up the audience with his own originals and his wide repertoire of classic covers.
Seated at a corner of the bar was a smiling Vinzon.
Over at 19 East, the group PDO (pronounced like "BDO") played like a top international act before an audience of swooning music enthusiasts and critics.
