Myxtreme Album
AFTER many delays, the much-awaited R&B party featuring the country’s biggest names in the music genre will definitely be held this month.The concert has been set on September 27 at the University of Mindanao (UM) gym in Matina, Davao City. In the bill are Myxtreme, Jay-R, Kris Lawrence, Thor and South Border’s Jay Durias. Myxtreme, Thor and Jay are Davao’s homegrown talents who are now among the biggest players in Manila.The September to Remember concert will also be the album launch of Myxtreme, the biggest winner in last year’s Muzika del Sur’s Music Awards with two major honors.
The R&B concert was initially set last July. But due to some unavoidable circumstances, including the arranging of the performers’ schedules and paper works, the organizers moved the concert to September.The tickets will be out by next week, Myxtreme vocalist Sherwin Acac texted Times.
As Davaoeño, Sherwin said they have long been wishing to have their album launch in Davao as a tribute to the region where they started.
The band was formed as FreshMix in Davao before moving to Manila where they become the back-up band of Jay-R, the country’s R&B Prince.
The band underwent various membership changes. Then vocalist Thor (born Ethoree Dulay from Panabo City in Davao del Norte) left the group for a solo career. Since then, he has successfully released two albums, and a collaboration with a London-based group. Thor has produced the hits Wonderland and Be My Number Two (with fellow Davao talent Juris Fernandez of M.Y.M.P.).
Sherwin said he is happy that fellow Davaoeño artists Thor and Jay are very supportive in this ambitious project for their kababayang Davaoeños.
“I hope our Davaoenos will support us,” Sherwin said.
Aside from Sherwin on vocals and guitars, Myxtreme is composed of Jopee Hipolito on drums, Jovel Camahalan on keyboard, John Fritz Morales on bass, Jason Chua on lead guitar and Mark Michael Tan Garcia on vocals.
The band’s debut album will have 14 songs – 10 originals and four covers of their fave songs.The album includes Windblow, the group entry in MDS Awards in 2007 that won them Best Video and the People Choice’s Award. That song became a regional hit in Davao last year, topping a number of radio stations. Even Gary Valenciano expressed interest in recording the song. The carrier single in the new album is the revival, No Arms Can Ever Hold You, by English glam rocker Chris Norman.
