The Voice of the Dragon

Let me just share my experience with the best Filipino band of all time, Queso, at the last leg of their “KamiQuesoHoundz” tour at the B Side, Makati City last February 25, 2013.

My friends and I, were all stoked and can’t wait for the main event which was the time for Kamikazee, Greyhoundz and Queso. That was not my first time seeing them live, but I was still left in awe while they were playing “Mottaka” – my favorite song. Technicals were harsh, I mean, I had a hard time listening to Ian’s voice, but thank God he’s such a professional! Moshpits were everywhere up until the last song, “Insekta.” There were a lot of different people, in different genres. One thing I learned about from this event is that, no matter how famous these people were, they were grounded. 

They love their fans – they treat them as if they are a part of the family. I also saw how bonded these people. I will never forget Eight Toleran’s favorite line, “Mata sa Langit, Paa sa Lupa,” because they live in it.

Other people will never understand their way of expressing themselves – tattoos, smoke, alcohol and so forth- they will say something bad about them, but they don’t care, instead they continue their lives and keep on writing good music which I truly admire. Continue on inspiring us, Queso. Continue in making good music and as you always say, “Pagmamahal lagi.”
