mayohan closing ft. HALE (May 17, 2009)

I totally LOVE this photo. -^ (its like he's reaching for my hand. haha. :)) )

Me and my friends enjoyed their performance in the center of Tayabas in front of the munisipyo. And so I like to feature them, here are some facts and pixes. enjoy! :)

Hale is an OPM band from the Philippines. Hale is composed of Champ Lui-Pio (lead vocals and guitars), Roll Martinez (guitars and vocals), Sheldon Gellada (bass) and Omnie Saroca (drums), all from the southern part of Manila. Roll and Sheldon are Music majors at the University of Santo Tomas.

In 2008, Omnie left the band to focus on things outside the industry. He was replaced by Paolo Santiago, former drummer of Join The Club. Paolo Santiago is also a Music major at the University of Santo Tomas.

About Hale

* http://www.emimusic.ph/hale

Champ Lui-Pio – vocals Roll Martinez – guitar Sheldon Gellada – bass Omnie Saroca – drums

It all began with a simple song called “Broken Sonnet.” When this ode to love hit the airwaves in the first quarter of 2005 as the carrier single of EMI’s Full Volume Pinoy rock collection, nobody―not the listeners, the band scene shakers and movers, nor the song’s creators themselves―fully expected the musical maelstrom that would propel an unknown young band called Hale to the top and spawn a new pop rock genre, “melodrama”.

Hale. Love it or despise it, HALE’s 2005 triple-platinum (as of May 2006) eponymous debut album is a testament to the band’s gift both as musicians and songwriters. More than a highly commercial success that made them a household name virtually overnight, this is the record that gained Champ Lui-Pio, Roll Martinez, Sheldon Gellada, and Omnie Saroca artistic recognition from industry titans and earned them even the grudging respect of critics and haters alike. As an upstart, barely a year old band back then, all this foursome wanted was to musically express themselves and be heard. But they didn’t count on the massive chart-topping power of their sound’s “musical sincerity,” “melodrama (melodious drama)” undertones, and “stream of consciousness lyrics”-- catch phrases now exclusively identified with HALE.

2005 to 2006 was definitely the Year of HALE. Beginning with carrier single THE DAY YOU SAID GOODNIGHT, their songs monopolized the #1 slot in music charts across the nation with one impressive hit after another.

THE DAY YOU SAID… never left the radio charts as it was hailed as “Song of the Year on 97.1 WLS-FM, and “OPM Song of the Year” on RX 93.1 and Magic 89.9 WTM. HALE was also named “OPM Band of the Year” on RX 93.1 and “Best New OPM Artist” on TM 89.9.

In preparation for their sophomore album, the band released HALE REPACKAGED in February 2006. It’s new and fourth single, TOLL GATE, shoot straight to #1 followed closely by fifth single, BLUE SKY.

Indeed, the band could have gone on forever with this one album alone. Thanks to its roaring success, they’ve also become product endorsers of the country’s most renowned and commercially acclaimed brands.

But Hale, by this time established as one of the country’s most-acclaimed bands, have more ambitious plans in store.

Twilight. “There was pressure on us to duplicate the success of our debut album,” says Champ. “But in effect, we experimented [with our sound] and did the exact opposite. This album was caught in the band’s adjustment phase.”

In October 2006, Hale gave the OPM scene an unexpected jolt by creating an album that moves away from their perceived image as a band. TWILIGHT features raw, tough riffs and darker, more intricate lyrics, while encompassing a wider spectrum of musical arrangements(read: non-Hale like).

Many believed this “pulling away from what is” to explore one’s artistic depth was a risk-laden, courageous move lesser music artists wouldn’t have dared to do at such an early stage. For this alone, Hale proved they’re artistic and musical integrity to one and all.

Hale’s sophomore album scaled up to the top of the charts on both radio and music channels, with 15, 000 units sold only one week after its release. This certified gold album produced three brilliant singles: WALTZ, HIDE AND SEEK and SHOOTING STAR.
While the band retained their trademark insightful lyrical content and melancholic sonic ambiance Omnie Saroca insists, “Hale tries to be a not-your-typical ‘drama core’ band.” Instead, the album is, according to Sheldon Gellada, “a musical journey through the various pitfalls we’ve come across.”

Hale’s bassist might as well be talking about the reason for their decision to keep a low profile and take what the public saw as a hiatus from the scene after the release of their second album. “There was a time when we were at the point of exhaustion. It was just too much that our friendship and performance were suffering. It [became] obvious back then that we needed to slow down and rejuvenate. That triggered the decision to lay low,” vocalist Champ explains at length.

The scene waited with bated breath for a long time for Hale to quickly emerge from this self-imposed hibernation. Three years after their first album put them in OPM rock history, Hale prepares for chart domination once again.

Latest album. The second wind. The newfound passion.

ABOVE , OVER AND BEYOND is another “pulling away” that sees Hale braving ankle-nipping waters with a new sound that showcases the band’s further artistic abilities without repeating what they’ve done before.

“We’re definitely back with a new level of confidence. People said it was a huge risk and that it could cost us everything we’ve worked hard for. And that I think is out biggest challenge: proving those people wrong. We took a break to recharge and now we’ve come back with a fresher album,” says Champ.

“This new album is closest to Hale’s heart. It took ten months to make. And we enjoyed every minute of it,” adds Roll.

Don’t expect any selling out on Hale’s part though. After their first-hand encounter with the high and lows of this “business is business” industry, this band has learned the most difficult yet significant lesson in every true artist’s career: “Never sacrifice the quality of the album for popularity and money.”

They’ve enjoyed being on the zenith of fame and have come face to face with disappointments. So this time around, the band makes sure their presence in this fickle music cosmos would not be end up as tragic ephemera. It’s time for genuine substance and lasting significance.

“Right now the band is working on helping people through music. We created Treehouse Productions so we could contribute to society in our own little way. And that is how we want to be remembered.”

TRIP NILA SA LUCBAN

Naglalaro ako kanina ng zoo empire ng biglang may nag doorbell, tinawag ko yung kapatid ko at pinatingnan ko kung sino yun, sabi nya sa akin sina Butch daw kaya nagmadali akong magpalit ng t-shirt at pinasabi ko sandali lang, saktong pababa ako ng hagdan may narinig akong banda ayun may parada na naman pala sabi pa nga ni Kj hindi ko na daw kelangang paghandaan ang pagdating nila, natawa naman ako, sabi ko "hahaha". Ayun sabi pa nga nila kung hindi ka pwede sa Lucena, kami ang pupunta sayo dito sa Lucban. katouch noh?!..wahahaha

Pinapasok ko na sila kasi na iihi na daw sila kaya habang na ihi ang isa kwentuhan muna kame, hahaha, ang saya talagang kasama sila!...Ang mga nagpunta nga pala ay sina Butch, Kym, Gabo, Jim, Kj, Charles at Clark.

Nang magutom sila inaya nila ako, sumama na daw ako sa kanila kaya naman nagpalit nalang ako ng shorts, nagsuklay at syempre nagcologne. hahaha.

Habang naglalakad kame sa tabing kalsada at nag-iisip kung saan kakain napatingin kame sa ground zero at naghamonan na dun nalang, ayun dahil ayaw na magpatalo dun na nga kame kumain, pagkahanap ng pwesto picturan na agad, walang pinagbago, masaya pa din talaga!.. Sina Kym, Butch at Kj na ang nag-order isa family size na super supreme pizza at dalawang order na pansit lucban, tulad ng dati ambagan pero syempre mas malaki ata binayad nina Kj,hahaha. Solve! nabusog kami, hindi lang ang tiyan busog din sa kwento eh at kasiyahan. Buti nalang sumama ako sa kanila.


Ilang linggo pa ulit bago sila mag-uwian kasi mamaya luluwas na ulit sila pamanila. Tulad ng dati mamimiss ko talaga sila ng bonggang bongga.
