Razorback Rocks the Handle Bar in Makati

Rock n’ Roll Legends.. that’s what they are! They have their own Rock n’ Roll style of music, head-banging riffs, and live ass-kicking performance that makes Razorback second to none. Hearing their music is one thing, but watching them perform live is definitely something!

Lahat ng hanap mo nandito, oh woooh woooh oh oh!
Basta’t abot lang ng kamay mo, oh woooh woooh oh oh!

Razorback Members:

Kevin Roy – the front man, the lead singer and a rock n’ roll performer like no other. He has this unique voice that makes Razorback Hebigats! Singing, head-banging and beer-drinking while performing? Only a few good men can do those things in one show. Count ‘em in! \m/

Kevin Roy (Vocals)

Manuel Legarda – the guitar man of Wolfgang who joined Razorback, and continued the rock n’ roll guitar duties that Dave Aguire (former guitar) left. He’s a versatile guitar player who have no sweat shifting from crushing metal riffs (like he did in Wolfgang) to a hard rock n’ roll licks.

Manuel Legarda (Guitar)

Tirso Ripoll – what else can we say ’bout this man… He’s the guitarist of Razorback from Past to Present. Though I’m not saying I ain’t miss any Razorback shows, but all of the gigs and shows that I’ve seen, he’s always there rockin’ smokin’ with his guitar, and never failed to gig! He’s a punctual, dedicated, rock n’ roll musician that serves as one of the foundations of Razorback.

Tirso Ripoll (Guitar)

Mon Legazpi – Wolfgang’s bassist. Though he’s not the bassist of Razorback, he have done a good job keeping this good show rocking. Watching him slapping his 5 string bass guitar will make you frozen stiff. By the way, where’s Louie Talan? (Razorback’s bassist)

Mon Legazpi (Wofgang's Bassist)

Brian Velasco – the hard-hittin rock n’ roll drummer, the celebrant, the man of the hour. He continued the drum-banging duties of Miguel Ortigas (former drummer) to keep Razorback rollin.

There’s something amidst in the world
Haven’t you guessed shapeshifter?

Razorback: Mic Test! Sound Check!

Soon we’ll be out to haunt you
You mensch have fallen out of grace
Don’t you know that we’re out to get you?
You and your voodoo, who do

Sige lang nang sige
Hangga’t mapanis ang ngiti
Tuloy ligaya, sige mangiliti

Para tanggapin ako
Tatawanan n’yo ba
Ang isang payaso

At naglaho ang liwanag sa dilim
Walang ingay ngunit nakakabingi
Bote ng alak na hindi nabuksan
Mga sigarilyong ubos na ang apoy

Two great musicians of Wolfgang

Kaibigan saan ka na ngayon
Ako’y naghihintay rito
Sa pagdating ninyo

Since two of the Wolfgang members were here, the Wolfgang tracks were also played here. Here are some of the tracks performed by Razorback in this gig.

* Center of the Sun – Wolfgang
* Natutulog kong Mundo – Wolfgang

Seeing this show with this line up reminds of me of their reunion concert (Razorback and Wolfgang) they’ve done few years ago in Music Museum. Two of the best bands here in one hell of a show.
