One of the best-known figures of Pinoy rock, Urbandub, will rock the Island City Mall carpark, this coming Saturday night, October 27, with guest band The Ambassadors, a BisRock group behind the hit Gugmang Giatay, Globe Kantabataan 2007 national finalist Suitcase 101 and Estranghero.
The night is the grand finals for this year's ICM Band Challenge. Five Boholano bands will compete. The grand champion for this year's contest will win a recording contract worth P6, 000 courtesy of ICM.
Urbandub is now enjoying their ride away from their hometown Cebu. After producing several singles that are beefed-up with guitars that give a whiff of the group's potential as a hard rock entity, the band has recently released two hard-rocking singles: "Alert the Armory," which has scaled no. 1 at NU 107 for three consecutive weeks and the hit, "First of Summer," which continue to top the charts at Magic 89.9 TM, NU 107 and LS.
The band's recent album, Embrace, made it to 2006 Awit Awards with nominations for Best Album Package. More nominations also include the first ever MYX MUSIC Awards which Urbandub is competing for Favorite Rock Music Video for Alert the Armory.
Urbandub is composed of Gabby Alipe (vocalist/guitarist), Lalay Lim (bassist/vocals), JanJan Mendoza (drummer), and John Dinopol (lead guitarist/vocals).
The bandfest is presented by Island City Mall, co-presented by Tanduay, Pepsi, Norkis Yamaha, ICM Home & Fashion, Bohol Coconut Palms Resort, Soundgarage Studio and Boards & Buckles Adventure Shop.
The Urbandub concert is presented by Pepsi, Tanduay Rhum T5, Norkis Yamaha, Boards & Buckles Adventure Shop, Bohol Coconut Palms Resort, The Prawn Farm and Powermind Concept.
