The Baler rockers are alive again! An after fiesta treat by Manila based One Red
Box Productions, the Parokya's concert in Baler on August 20 was the biggest rock event in
Aurora since the Rivermaya concert back in the stone age. The fact that 1/6 of the band
was missing in action didn't dented the crowd's enthusiasm to experience this rare Mr.
Suave experience. 
The front acts were literally electrifying. All the local bands' expected 15 minutes of
fame was cut short to 8 when they were allowed only 2 songs to perform after problems with
grounded microphones and amplifiers. Cake and Nuts reformed to try their sounds on
Asskicker drum sets and Marshalll amps.

The Badfish performed two reggae sets that did nothing to change the crowd's state of
catatonia.

The audience were slightly shaken when the Dead Trees tried to wake them up with 2 hard
rock pieces.

Parokya Ni Edgar's Vinci decided to leave the band and relocate to Maria. He now fronts
the Grounds. He now goes by the name Dennis Belen.

The crowd immediately switched from dead to frantic when PNE stormed the stage and did
their version of Spaghetting Pababa.

Chito keeps on calling Baler as Aurora, Quezon. And Vinci was missing in Action because he
has an exam.

This concert was a "the best of performance". They performed only two songs from
their latest album, the kundiman-reggae crossover hit Mr. Suave and their
version of Banal Na Aso, Santong Kabayo titled Chikinini. The title fits in the chorus.

Let's play Spot Dao Ming Xu.

Top 5 Baler concert (in terms of attendance) 1. Aegis
2. Sex Bomb 3. River Maya 4. Parokya ni Edgar and My Generation 1 (tied). If you count the
John Arcilla homecoming concert last June 29, he would be in first place. But that was
promoted as a siege of baler reenactment and not as a concert.

For a band that compensated their lack of musical skills with riot stage shows when they
were starting, the PNE now plays great and Darius now commands great licks.

Dindin Moreno forgot to have a reunion with his relatives in Baler and Casiguran.

Gabs and Buwi can't wait for the concert to finish so that they can ride the Train of
Horror at the outside peryahan.
