Rock band Bamboo officially announced through a message in their website that their band is OVER.
After 8 years in the industry, the band decided to break up for good reasons according to Bamboo Maňalac, leader of the group and former vocalist of Rivermaya.
“We’ve learned that this journey is not only about us but includes all who came along for the trip. Family, friends and of course front row believers who were there for the best reason of all. To simply listen. So it didn’t come easy winding down to this decision,” Maňalac mentioned in the message.
“This is not the end,” assured Mañalac. “We move forward for all the right reasons. This is not a sad day. Music will forever be part of our lives and I couldn’t imagine us simply walking away. Not possible. All I see are possibilities.”
The band started in 2002 and put it down in the opening of 2011 after establishing a career in the industry and releasing 4 major successful albums: As the Music Plays (2004), Light Peace Love (2005), We Stand Alone Together (2007), and Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday (2009). They also received different awards from AWIT Awards, NU107 Rock Awards, and MTV Pilipinas 2004.
At the end of his message, he thanked all their supporters, the brave producers who trusted the group according to him, and their business partners especially music distributors EMI and PolyEast Records.
“This is not goodbye,” last few words from the lead Bamboo.
NU 107, the home of “nu” (new) rock officially signed off the air on November 7, Sunday.
“It’s a minute before 12. NU107 is DWNU FM at 107 dot 5 megahertz in Pasig, once the loudest and proudest member of the KBP. This has been NU107, the Philippines’ one and only Home of NU Rock. This is NU107. We are signing off.”
These were the final words of Cris ‘Cruise’ Hermosisima, NU 107’s station manager, when they had their last broadcast. And the finale song for that minute was “Huling El Bimbo” by Eraserheads. People went to the station in Pasig to express a heart-felt farewell. They were singing the last song as NU107 finally closed their doors.
“When I made the anouncement to my staff, the first thing I did was thank them for doing such a good job with the rock awards. Short on time, short on budget but big on heart, and I think that sums up NU 107: it’s our having the mission and passion to see it through. It’s our love for the station,” NU 107 co-founder Atom Henares said in a TV interview.
Fans got emotional in paying their last respect to the station. They lighted candles in streets around the station.
“You’re part of history. Hats off to Mico Halili. URock was his idea. But I think we gave a break to a lot of college bands on U Rock. If I have my chance, I’ll resurrect URock,” he said. “We’d like to thank everyone, the fans. 23 years is not bad. It’s a good run. Okay na ‘yun. Let’s finish it tonight,” Hermosisima stated.
NU107 will soon resurface with a new format but it remains a question mark on the details.
