If you’re looking for something fun to do on
a Friday or Saturday night, you need look no further than the
Music Museum.
The Sabado Boys – Jimmy Bondoc, Luke Mejares,
Mike Chan, the human beatbox Myke Salomon, Paolo Santos and Top
Suzara– will be there on September 20 and 26 for "Niteout."
Each of the Sabado Boys is talented in their
own right. Jimmy, known as El Musikero to local music lovers,
burst onto the scene with "Let Me Be the One." The heart-tugging
acoustic ballad about the end of a relationship became a monster
hit, despite the fact that he recorded it in his bedroom.
Before joining the Sabado Boys, Luke was the
front man of the band South Border. Hailed as "King of R&B,"
Luke has his own take on some of the most popular love songs,
making him a favorite of many.
A former mainstay of a popular noontime show,
Mike used to perform in front of millions of people every day.
He is billed as their romantic balladeer. He is currently
working on his latest album with a new image.
Myke performs with the a capella super group
the Akafellas. Watch "Niteout" to learn why people dubbed him
the human beat box. Myke isn’t just a musician, though. He also
enjoys photography.
Paolo was the one who kicked off the acoustic
trend in OPM some years back and continues to scale new heights
as part of the Sabado Boys. With his hit singles "Moonlight Over
Paris" and "Closer," among others, he secured for himself a
place in Philippine music history.
Last but definitely not the least, Top Suzara
was one of the lead vocalists of Freestyle for many years. He
wrote most of their hit singles, including the massive hit
single "Before I Let You Go."
Individually, they’re good. But together,
they’re dynamite.
One of the most interesting parts of the show
will be the one in which each member of the Sabado Boys will
perform their chosen song in "American Idol" style. A surprise
guest who will act as the judge will comment on their
performance. Audiences will want to catch this segment to see
Jimmy – who recently served as a guest judge in "Pinoy Dream
Academy 2" – receive a dose of his own medicine.
Fast-rising R&B band Urbanation will also be
featured as the show’s front act. "Niteout" is directed by
Calvin Neria and produced by Live Artists Production, with a
script by Noel Ferrer.
