Rebolusyon Rekords Pilipinas

This is a very late posting I know, nevertheless we want to let the public know that our Bicol romp last July 2008 was a HUGE success. We officially released the MusikMAX BICOL CD via launch parties in the Bicol region as further strengthening of the MusikMAX concept of local music scene focus.

MusikMAX BICOL launch at Wharf Galley in Naga City, Camarines Sur

We designated two tracks as carrier singles: DALOY by IDLE PITCH and ALBAY SONG by BUCKYARD BOYZ. By the time we got to Bicol, these two songs were already enjoying considerable airplay via organic requests (and MASSIVE legwork by our coordinators Jonjie San Vicente in Naga and Irle Sabdao in Legazpi). In fact, ALBAY SONG cracked the Top 10 of OKFM Legazpi’s Top30 countdown, accordingly the first time a local act from Legazpi got into the OK charts.

Wow. Whoa. What a night!

It was our pleasure at Rebolusyon Rekords and Rakrakan to be part of the 1st Bluesfest. It felt good to be involved in a blues music show in Manila after taking the Blueskrieg train up south and north of Luzon…

Kudos to Andy and The Blue Rats for starting the Bluesfest. Hats off to Pidoy and the hobbits for handling the massive surge of people. Big shoutout to the following:

- the bands Soul Benders, Plug, Kulukati, Snakecharmer (welcome back), The Blue Rats, Jun Lopito and Diamond Dogs, Mr Crayon and Alex of Hukkah
- RJ UR 105.9 for the radio plugs
- Pidoy and Hobbit House crew
- Howlin Dave for the energetic emceeing
- Direk for running a tight show
- Jonathan for the video coverage
- and May for ensuring that everybody got paid, hehehe.

What a fantastic evening of soulful blues and rock n roll. Sa uulitin.
