Pinoy alt-rockers Rizal Underground, composed of vocalist Stephen Lu, guitarist Mike Villegas, bassist Angelo Villegas, and sticksman Harley Alarcon, is a perennial favorite hereabouts mainly through their breakthrough hits “Sabado Nights” and “Bilanggo” from their debut album released some 30 years ago.
Their recent reunion shows in venues like 19 East have been a rousing success proving that this spirited workhorse has matured into a living breathing rock n roll machine.
In the latest round of live performances, such freedom to rock any which way has earned Rizal Underground new-found respect, if not instant adulation, from a spectrum of audiences that turned up at their shows. He said, “First among the triumphs is we’re able to make the free flow ethic work for us and we still enjoy running with it. Tapos, Club Dredd’s Patrick Reidenbach would be the first to come up to us and greet, ‘Tae’na, dahil sa inyo, nag-enjoy din kami! Personally, who would have known that when I turned 61 years old, I’d still be doing the same fun shit, di ba?
It doesn’t look like a lonesome musical trek at all. He has already pre-arranged for a local band to support him in his visit to rock their home turf with songs by Rizal Underground and from the Roclkoustic Blues Experiment album, among others.Kahit saan ako pumunta ngayon be it Siargao, Boracay or Puerto Galera, meron ng banda na ba-back up sa akin. Meron core group, Itatawag ko na lang sa kanila ang schedule at share ang setlist or new material sa social media.
