Godchild Album Release tonight; The Night Class Rock Gig on Saturday

Godchild Album Release tonight; The Night Class Rock Gig on Saturday; and the Rise of Iloilo Music
by Reymundo Salao

Things have actually been looking up for the Iloilo Music scene. The last two years had been inspiring in the field of music because it seems that many sectors of business and mass media have begun embracing the creativity of Ilonggo Musicians. First there was Sneeze Magazine that served as the underground magazine that watches over the local Rock scene, then there is Think Logic and Lanai Bar Grill’s NIGHT CLASS; the monthly gig that celebrates the Iloilo Music Scene, then the launching of the Iloilo Lokal Albums that showcases various Iloilo Bands such as Candyflip, Factory Overhead, The Liberty Jam, and Joint Venture. Then, of course, there’s Grindhouse Productions that fuel the local metal scene alive and kicking balls. Because of those factors, among many other inspirations as well, Iloilo’s musicians have so much confidence in coming out with their own album releases. Along with that is the confidence and the assurance that there is indeed a great number of people out there who are really looking forward to becoming fans of Iloilo Music.

The past few years saw the album releases of bands and artists, such as Hotbox RP, Nervegasm, Evilwurm, Armor, The Liberty Jam, Kwatro Kantos, and The Big Man Upstairs. Iloilo Music is gradually and surely on its way to having a strong sense of pride that comes from the artists it produces. Next in line for an album release is the band GODCHILD.
GODCHILD is composed of Lutz Nobleza on drums, Jason Vestidas on lead guitar, Bart Fegarido on bass, and KR Quinon on vocals and rhythm. Godchild has actually been around for quite a long time already, and had gone through different changes, with KR Quinon replacing the band’s female vocalist, and former Khamulang bassist, and bassist of Crossover and Nadalman, Bart Fegarido joining the band as well. Godchild’s music is easy to fall in love with. A nice mellow fusion of mainstream rock with jazz elements, resulting in the kind of music that fits the mood of being in love, or plainly just enjoying an windy afternoon with a hot cup of coffee. consistently active and also artfully consistent in their sound; Godchild promises to be one of the bands Iloilo should really be proud of. It really is about time Godchild release its album, so that the public may go get it and enjoy their music wholeheartedly in their own stereos.

The official album release of Godchild’s album “Of Friends, Lovers, and Enemies...” is tonight March 25, 2011 7:00 pm at Lanai Bar & Grill (in front of Starmart, Tabuc Suba, Jaro, Iloilo City.
