RIVERMAYA
HOMEPAGE
the
band
The Rivermaya was born
in a new era of rock and roll in the Philippines.
Rivermaya is composed
of Rico Blanco, Nathan Azarcon, Mark Edward Escueta, and Bamboo (Francisco
Manalac).
Hmmm... guess you really
want to know more about the Rivermaya, huh? Well, here are some infos
about them. But I'm warning you that these were all based on what
I have read and some, searched. If you would like to add, change
or delete some infos, please do email me and clarify some things.
Thank You!
Bamboo, Mark and Nathan
were group peers before (barkada). Then, they met Rico. Mark
and Nathan were former members of the band called Bazurak. But the
two decided to leave the band. When they all four joined together,
they decided to give a shot to the music scene and form Rivermaya.
One time, in Mark's
province (Quezon), they had a gig. They were new to facing the audience.
They have mistakes while performing. Of course, you can't expect
everything to be perfect at the start, right? Then, when they returned
again to that same town, they performed excellent and this was sort of
their revenge. (well, that's the way they decribed it!)
They sent a demo tape
to the BMG Records, Pilipinas with some song samples. This includes
214, Hate, Bring Me Down, and others. Good thing that they got a
record and signed up immediately a contract. Their manager from then
on were Lizza G. Nakpil and Chito Rono.
They started recording
afterwards and then released their self-titled album. It was
a big hit!

their songs and albums... check out the album and the lyrics.
