WOLFGANG: From left, Manuel Legarda, Mon Legaspi, Basti Artadi

MANILA– They’ve been sleeping for six years, but now iconic rock band Wolfgang returns with ‘The Black Christmas Project’ concert at the Eastwood City Central Plaza, Libis (near Ortigas Avenue) on Wednesday, December 10th, at 7 p.m.
The highly anticipated awakening by the band -- widely regarded as the Philippines’ definitive ‘rock gods’ -- is presented by No Fear, LevelUp, and  Eastwood City, which is expected to reverberate with Wolfgang’s signature onslaught of thick ferocious sound.
 

Precision riffs, emphatic beats, power-drenched vocals, colourful licks, driving ostinatos, occasionally jazz-styled basslines and imaginative breaks merge with razor-sharp interplay in Wolfgang's  unique style of American-influenced hard rock, heavy metal, grunge and blues-rock.
Basti Artadi, Manuel Legarda, Mon Legaspi are joined by Francis Aquino at the year’s ultimate year-ender.
The band's ability to infuse everything they do – be it power ballads, progressive rock songs, bluesy tunes or their harder-hitting material – with strong melodic hooks has made it the only Filipino rock act to be released in both the USA and Japan. Wolfgang is also the only Filipino heavy metal act to breach platinum records on home ground and receive more than 20 group and individual awards for creative virtuosity, cementing their reputations as stalwarts of the Philippines’ rock Valhalla.
What can fans expect? Says frontman Basti Artadi, “Expect lots of singing, dancing, drinking and all-around head-banging because it's gonna be a hell of a party!” (Tickets are now on sale at Ticketnet (dial 911-555) or place reservations at ticketnet.com.ph.)

gad, what i would do to see them LIVE on dec6!

i actually still have the cover
of the philippine daily inquirer sunday magazine that featured wolfgang when
they were still an up & coming band back in the late 90s.

i remember they
weren't readily embraced by some pinoy alternative rockers who preferred yano,
the wuds, the philippine violators, etc cos wolfgang appealed more to the cono
crowd. "cono ka, pre!" =)

on the other hand, i felt they also
maintained that elitist air to separate themselves from the rest of the more
masa-oriented bands back then.

but who could resist such hard-rockin hits like
darkness fell, left alone ("my eyes roll back in my head so i can see my
mind...", halik ni hudas & natutulog kong mundo?

that was until basti
decided to star in the rock musical "jesus christ: superstar" & tried
becoming a lounge singer. does anyone remember that? =)

pero batang wolfgang pa
rin...

avatar All the albums kicked ass!

I love all the songs, but the tagalog ones are the
best! - i think basti sings better in tagalog!
